I am 100% confident that we are not breaking the rules. This is clearly laid out in our SOP. I work for one of the largest airlines in the world and am sure that such a policy would not exist if there was any doubt as to its legality.
In fact we do have assurance of obstacle/terrain clearance in the same way we have clearance when conducting ILS approaches.
I can see that you and others here are highly qualified and have much to offer to the community. I respect you. Please extend me the same courtesy.
We are not violating the rules. The combined total experience in our airline is somewhere on the area of 42,000,000 flight hours. Trust me we have the issue covered.
