True, but if you ask they tell you how find it, radial and
distance
from
KRH, a bit easier than a landmark. ;-)

So will anyone in the US...


Bertie
True again, but is easier to give a radial/distance from a VOR than
describe a Landmark


Not so easy to find if you are flying sans radio, though.


Bertie

If you fly sans radio you do not need English, and is only used for
IFR
flying (as a short cut given by ATC), usually done with radio in
Europe.




Yep.

All far from the original point though, which seemd to be drifting
towards the US controllers being lazy or slopp or something.

i could tell you tales about Germany.....

Or just about anywhere, for that matter.
