VL, no need to edit but I appreciate the sentiment. The original question was about outbounds from an airfield within CAS (I believe), not aircraft joining from outside CAS. In that case it becomes an entirely different situation and more care must be taken when an a/c has 7000 or similar selected.
My initial point was not that HD's comment was wrong, it is in the book after all, but blanket statements like that (and in the book there are many) do not take into account the everyday situation. Maybe thebook needs rewriting... Any volunteers?
