Uncle Spam's finest are probably only allowed to make instrument approaches which have US DoD approval. If the aerodrome to which they are intending to divert does not appear in their US DoD TERPS booklets, then it may as well be on Mars! Possibly there might be other FLIPs on board - but why bother hunting through them if you can quickly ask someone else?
