No info in the RIM about hazards on the approaches, local procedures etc.
A good RIM should give a pilot all the info he needs in order to conduct a safe approach. All the info that is, that is not in the Jepp's but is learned from the pilot group and held in corps knowledge.
A well produced RIM is an enhancement to flight safety. If the guys just buggered up the approach and didn't follow SOP's that's one thing,consider however our 2 or 3 near CFIT into Peshawar over the last few years. What does the RIM say about this difficult approach or Damascus... Sweet F---- All.
Our RIM provides very basic info, none on who to call on the ground for servicing etc. Imagine diverting into Sonderstrom with no SatCom. You will have no info on this standard alternate other than the Jepp's, you will be using your own phone and credit card. To make all the arrangements,etc.
All of our documents such as the RIM are produced by people on their own time.
A proffessionall organization would see the need to spend the time making a proffessionall document. Most EY pilots are carying a copy of Emirates RIM in their hard drive.
