Thank you both! That's exactly what I was wanting to know. Much appreciated.

2) RVSM airspace

Isn't an IAP a non-low workload situation?

Check airman today told me that the book doesn't differentiate between RNAV off the ground or (like most IAH SIDs) RNAV HDG mode departures. It clearly says all RNAV SIDs and STARs will be flown with the autopilot on. The profiles say's at acceleration altitude, "Climb sequence, autopilot on." He said it's clear cut and I believe those who are "interpreting it otherwise" are wrong. Hand fly your visual approach and non-RNAV SID and STAR all day long...

I was trying to tell everyone that before but people accused me of being a doo-doo for listening to MX guys and station manager. They told me that over a month ago. I guess those mx guys and station managers do know a little something.

Hey you get no argument from me on that point. When I went from 121 to large cabin 91, is when I felt like I was doing some real flying. Flying around in the pattern at uncontrolled fields with 172's and R22's and landing on 4200 x 75 foot runways... pure visuals -- no RNAV, no ILS. Can't fly that stuff on automation.

As far as 121 /135 flying goes, I'm just saying that legal teams have a heavy hand in it -- everything is there for a reason.

Cheers.

Totally agree. Just hope nothing disastrous happens because of it.

This is the company's standardized position across both fleets.
