They have had a whole lot of problems, particularly at PHX and LAS. The various aircraft have RNAV avionics that handle the critical waypoints and tracks differently. Also, even the positions are different for air carrier aircraft with GPS and the older "glass cockpit" airliners that use DME/DME updating. There were periods where the FAA suspended use of the procedures because of controller complaints. That, in turn, resulted in the airlines whining to no end. It got so bad the FAA belatedly issued an air traffic bulletin to controllers covering the subject to some extent: http://www.faa.gov/atpubs/atbarc/03-5.htm |
