Nothing wrong with having this diagram I guess, but I think in my mind it would be better to keep the diagram for when the ADC/SMC split is not "expected", ie, ADC owns only the runways, and SMC owns only everything else. I'd rather not set the precedent that we need a diagram like this everywhere. Thoughts @mattk04 ?

[m-9c]

Yeah, agree that the diagram should only be when it's not as normal; I added this to try and emphasise that ground has no control over the central part of the aerodrome, where the helis are.

[mattk04]

Agree with both, I think this diagram is good to highlight the manoeuvring area
