Yes, the reason I'm interested is that, in UK anyway, we were all quite clear about Minimum Safe Altitude as defined in CAP 360. Now CAP 360 has been withdrawn, all we have is JAROPS Minimum Flight Altitude. MFA encompasses several more things than just terrain clearance, and merely offers a selection of methods for calculating terrain clearance. I know they are all very similar, and I know its probably up to operators to pick one and tell their pilots to use it.

But I'm still interested in a wider perspective on what others do.

Acknowledged this is of less interest to non-UK types.
