Its not rocket science and it will help the student in the long run. That would require students to purchase IFR charts for every airport they visit. I took "at that airport" to mean the home field, where most of the student instruction takes place. But the purchase of IFR charts wouldn't be required for any airport, they're available free online. Once the fixes are identified the student can use a site such as AeroPlanner or SkyVector to plot them on his VFR chart, which he should be purchasing anyway. They would not only need approach charts but enroutes as well. Why would they need enroute charts? Its much simplier to just tell the IFR pilots that they need to use VFR friendly phrasing. Instead of saying "I'm at FOOBAR" they could just say "I'm 5 miles out on the the ILS straight in runway 12". Its not very hard. How is that VFR friendly phrasing? It uses IFR terminology. |
