So... Military ATCOs do not give vectors or provide RAS below RVC... and it is alegedly an automatic ticket pull from the ATCEEB if they see a controller doing so!!!

Sounds right by the definition doesn't it?

Questions. How does one provide a PAR or SRA then?

Are we supposed to terminate RAS at the FAF on any instrument approach?

When will we acknowledge that an instrument approach or an SID for that mater provides terrain clearance... and that it only becomes an issue when the approach is broken off. If anyhting other than standard MAP is followed (e.g avoiding action) this becomes akin to an emergency procedure...
