NFR, I'd agree with you on the Darwin issue. I've come across it a couple of times myself. Each time we have waited for the 1600' altitude before declaring visual.

I think that the bit about DME steps isn't 'remembered' well in QF- not that it isn't known, just that we rarely come up against it in practicality as there are normally other more 'limiting' altitudes.

I think your post is a handy little reminder. The 767 Fleet manager is Captain Dick Tobiano and you can get him at [email protected] . I'm sure it wouldn't take much for him to put a friendly 'reminder' about issues discussed above in the next fleet newsletter.
