...and the GS check altitude and FAP if a DME is used, if I may add to RoboAlberts' list.

As alf5071h pointed out, it is surprising to see the question re-appear year after year - but encouranging to see that people at least [I]know[I] that a correction must be applied & ask the question. Still, it's found in every OPS1-airlines OM Part A, Chapter 8 - and should be part of the winter LPC/OPC session.

Begs the question if people remember to apply high wind corrections to their MEA/MOCA/MORA when flying over muntaineous terrain - that correction is often in the region of 2000 ft., and if luck is not on your side, it will remove all obstacle clearance margin if not applied. Mind you, a 1200 ft. correction to the MSA alone due to temperature would also do the trick

Happy new year to all - and congrats to Danny & the crew, this looks ubercool!
