I am doing a small amount of research into offshore approach's, nothing so high brow as the majority of the discussion you learned gentlemen are having here, I hasten to add, and have come across the following document:-http:[URL="http:////www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/200906.pdf"]

With reference to the discussion about CFIT, I would draw your attention to the Part 2, Annex B CHIRP Events. This does indicate that although, thankfully, there have not been many cases DIRECTLY attributable to the ARA procedure, there is certainly room for improvement. I have been in the fixed wing world now for many years and so much of my rotary experience is now out dated, but, having flown many CAT 3 B auto lands in <200m and flown numerous rig-radar approaches, I know when I felt more comfortable!

I only post this to suggest that just because you can't quote a CFIT accident, it doesn't mean you are immune.
