Do we really have pilots working at this company that are this level of stupid?

That’s hilarious. To the mainline employee who obviously wrote that first piece: You get what you pay for!

The knee jerk reaction will be to rename that check “Before Push”.

Sent you a PM.

Anyone else think it’s a bit ridiculous you aren’t supposed to use the Rnav procedures in the box to backup a visual? It’s visual, we are using references outside the aircraft, not poking holes through clouds without charts and approval. Having this backup seems to be far safer than not. Or just keep getting EGPWS alerts and using less accurate methods?

There’s exceptions to every rule. Use your best judgement, which some people seem to lack.

If you're talking about the LAS stuff on comply, I'm pretty sure they just mean do not use that specific RNAV visual until it is approved by the FAA. Not that you can never use an RAV as a backup to a visual.

I'm not sure what the big deal is, that Visual into LAS has been in the box for at least 4 years and we used to do it all the time. Not sure what changed and caused issues. It was definitely more helpful than going in and building your own points seeing as it guided you away from terrain and gave VNAV guidance.

That’s exactly what I’m talking about

Building your own is pretty easy though. Klas.rw08/bearing/3/. And do a 10 mile. Throw the altitude based on the 3:1 rule, with a little situational awareness of altitude where you are intercepting it’s easy
