I love how the FAA says it's ok that we can fly approaches for which we don't have the proper nav databases for. We're gonna look dumber than when we can't take a good short cut for weather avoidance re-route because the planes don't have life jackets.



I mean we couldn't even fly the ATL RNAV departures correctly when all people had to do was hit nav mode and make sure they put in the right runway. If these are going to involve more than tuning the frequency, getting an altitude, and an intercept heading, then intercepting the final, we wont be doing them long. Also, I find it funny the memo mentioned the DTW/CLE metroplex. Last I checked, CLE is dead with no sign of ever being revived again.
