1.
No requests for direct routing - Fly the full SID. If ATC offer track shortening or radar vectoring, advise them "Request follow SID", "Request fly via flight plan routing".
Reason:- Track shortening does
not give you the guaranteed min obst clearances that the surveyed, published routes do. ie. Safety.
2.
No intersection take off - Intersection take-offs reduce the amount of runway length available for the t/o run, and the amount available in the event of a rejected t/off. They also increase the amount of noise produced over the departure path. An intersection take-off will require re-calculation of the take-off performance data, so they may be acceptable, but will delay take-off/pushback, until the new figures have been calculated and checked by ALL crew members.
3.
Fly the full published instrument approach. Do not request visual approaches - First part (SID) discussed in #1. Visual approaches frequently lead to undershoot/overshoot situations, which may necessitate a go-around, rather than persisting with an unstable/destabilised approach. An extended downwind is the usual method of ensuring that a pilot won't end up high on finals, however this may result in higher fuel burns, due to operating the aircraft at low level in a high drag config (eg. Gear down & ldg fl ext.).
4.
No deferment of writing of aircraft discrepancies into logbook. - Absolutely! You compromise the SAFETY of all on board by not IMMEDIATELY reporting all defects. Carrying one unnotifed defect may result in a serious situation should another defect arise that compounds the problem.
Our voices must resonate through all the media for the world to know the suppression of the Pinoy (Filipinos) by the corrupted wealthy few.
The print media will reach out to our local people, but by media that grabs worldwide audiences, such as this
PPRuNe and others, we can spread the truth quickly in a short time. I also suggest letting your sympathies be aired here
Give Filipino pilots their wings so that Tan and the ATO know that not only the
Philippines, but
all the World is aware of their illegal actions.
