Amex: I might be nearer the sun than you....

But out here the ops manual is the ops manual for almost the entire country.

Also CAP 359? was written for BEA / BOAC and we all had to observe it, especially the FTL section that was almost unworkable in PA31 operations....

The companies have no option but to install the equipment, and as such are also battling up the same slope.

I flyboth G450 and G5 which have this installed, even with less than 19 seats (which I understand is the current trigger point).

On the G450, the private owner insists that we make the usual expeditions arrival at his home base, but we have to refuse his kind offer......
The aircraft is AOC operated, and flown very often for the owner alone on board.

I am sure they are happy with the explanation, but come the safety audit, there are many cases of excedences, and someone gets the blaim....

160 is our SOP, and as such we must reduce to this to classify as stable approach......

Thats life...glf
