Did you actually read the CHIRP objectives which I posted earlier in this thread and which appear on the CHIRP website?
Yep, I have to say I didnt know what their objectives were and had a look at their site. It would seem to me this fits their objectives which may have been misunderstood by some who have posted on here.

A bit of thread drift I know (but as the discussion has pretty much come to its end) it left me wondering about a couple of procedures on which I am unclear so far as IFR outside CAS.

Firstly, what is your relationship with a FIS? I ask becasue you are not required to have any service OCAS and without a service could change level without telling anyone. However, if you were receving a FIS you would be expected to tell the controller if you changed level, and presumably are required to do so.

Secondly, if descending OCAS with a FIS or a LARS in IMC in my expereince the "controller" will usually remind you that you are responsible for your own terrain seperation and will often point out the SSA. Is this your experience and is there any "obligation" on the part of the controller to do so?
