terpster,
that was funny...looks like everyone at the FAA thinks they do procedure design! It doesnt surprise me that a sr mgr at the FAA is out of touch with what other divisions are doing... If you really want to test them, ask how well IPDS does with RF legs....
Well, it is his division that designs and issues FAR 97 instrument approach procedures for the FAA.
Terminal Procedures & Charting Group, AJV-35
I've worked with the guy at various meetings for many years. He has forgotten more about TERPs than either you or I know.
AFS-460 provides standards oversight of AJV-35, but AJV-35 and only AJV-35 designs FAR 97 IAPs. AJV-35 accepts input from the three area RAPTs.
I think you are about to saw yourself off on another limb.
