Alf & Tribo,
Thanks, v. good info.
When you sit in the aircraft - with the OM part C in hand - this manual has been promulgated by our operator and approved by the CAA.
Therefore, as long as I follow that manual - and once & again add a bit extra "common sense"-margin - I am legally speaking "off the hook". I know that there might be a protracted legal battle should something still go wrong - but the crew will come out clean.
I know that - even with the FC available - there will be cases where, even though the data available indicates that a landing is feasible, we will decide against trying. But that is a safety matter - before we get to that bridge, we need to sort out the matter of legality.
So - any thoughts on the legality aspect as seen from ATCO and FD crews' side? If we have the approved Part C and get a "reliable" FC from ATC - are we legal or not? That is quite an important question - and if the answer is not clear, we can tear out every 3rd page in the perf.manual
Thanks for the good input - Empty
