FWIW, it also "requires" changing the software for at least some flight computers. The radius may be configurable for some apps but for what I use, the default is 1 mile for ASTs. It's fairly straightforward to work around this by simply watching "distance to go" as it counts down for each TP but it's not right and could have a minor impact on ETA calculations. I wasn't going to be critical but in my narrow scope of thinking, triggering an application change for a very small Rules change with marginal benefit is the kind of thing I expect from the government. Good thing ASTs are almost dead in this country. Hahaha. Sorry for not seeing the big picture.
