Rat 5,

Absolutely .. if the chart is lacking in procedural detail (presuming that the company ops manual doesn't include a bunch of "standard" techniques) then the chief pilot ought to be jumping up and down to get the thing corrected and republished.

Keep in mind that many, and possibly most, ops engineers don't have an operational piloting background .. this makes it very, very hard for them to think like a pilot and provide pilot-speak procedures .. ops engineers with a dual background, though, are a bastard creation and think neither like an engineer nor a pilot .. but often can produce useful escape procedures which the line pilot can use in anger without too much head scratching .... something about walking in a man's shoes ?
