Our company is working on getting ASAP apparently so maybe once that is implemented then things will change. I know of a couple of crews that have gotten LOI's for busting altitude restrictions out of ONT on the prado7. Doubt it would have happened with a chart in front of the PF. For now I file NASA reports constantly and hope somebody notices.
Now, disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer/fed/checkairman/whatever... But, there's no way in hell I'm going to shoot any approach in ANY airplane without a chart that I can look at. This is perhaps the most asinine "rule" I've ever heard. They're putting lives in danger because they think you can't glance at a chart and fly an airplane at the same time? Now, I'm not telling you to bust regs or anything... But, if having that chart there will potentially save lives AND your license, you might want to keep it within an easy glance...
