Why flying a route with VIPS on a pax tasking would anybody fly below the maximum height of surrounding terrain of the route, especailly when in IMC?
May I politely suggest the mods freeze this thread, and refer posters to the over 400 pages in the appropriate thread on the mil aviation section, where such tendentious statements have been comprehensively discussed and the errors in those making excuses for the appalling original overruling of the BOI verdict by two senior officers, and the equally appaling history of non-adherence to airworthiness regulation have been laid out in detail.
