Hello HD - I don`t have a particular bee in my bonnet, but the reason I have mentioned it several times is that it was slipped into the AIP just over a year ago in terms which did not make obvious the implications and I feel the need to inform anybody who is interested.
I`m sorry you had a fright but whether you like it or not this is what a pilot is permitted do now and it is clearly a trap into which we all could fall.
Kindest regards
DoB
