Lynn, me ol’ China – no one is shouting the idea down.

There ARE issues with this procedure and better they be aired herein, which, unless I’m mistaken, is set up for this thread as much as anything.

ALL pilots think they are God’s gift etc., to the business. We all think our ideas are the best. I happen to dispute this procedure as being a wise mindset, as I think the evidence is that, practice or not, the end result is more fatal than not.

But deny Bill or anyone else his right to debate, is equally unwise.

Just on one point you made, what is the right altitude? It is a fair bet that the right altitude puts you laterally beyond reach of your departure airfield, in which case it might be better to concentrate on what’s ahead in the splay.

Cheers
