Thanks HC.
I have looked back at my text - the post with the distribution of wind is fairly clear; however, I am not an error free zone.
I could have sworn that the graphs in the Complementary Flight Manual were identical - are they different in the RFM? I agree that this should not be done in flight - haven't EC provided an EFB yet.
Going back to the text of the rule; the wording is much more flexible than it is for PC1; I can't see how it could have been more operator/pilot friendly unless it had said 'please yourself'.
Now that we have shouted ourselves hoarse, perhaps we could just sit down and make it work to everyone's advantage. Explain to me why we didn't do this over the phone or on email! Perhaps because it is not just you and I who have to understand and work with this but other operators, pilots and regulators.
This can't be more difficult than trying to establish the best Vtoss to get over that 14ft mast on the end of 14 can it?
