How so?

It seems to be designed around the assumption that everyone has a
moving-map GPS to show the boundaries of the various sectors. Anyone
who doesn't have this is going to have a devil of a time figuring out
whether or not he's drifting into Class B. Since GA aircraft often
don't have a moving-map GPS, they are being strongly encouraged to
stay away by the difficulty inherent in finding the sector boundaries
using just navaids, radials, landmarks, etc.

I know that GA groups were strongly opposed to this new scheme, and I
can see why. The overall impression created is that Phoenix doesn't
want any GA traffic.


You are an idiot.
