We do stick to the rules in glass G which are defined in the ANO. the EASA stuff s pretty badly worded to be honest with missing definitions which hopefully someone will get sorted before it comes in next year.

I can fully understand your point of view about looking after you chicks.

But your not the PIC so as such you have no real say in the risk level they are willing to carry.

By trying your best for the pilot you may be having an adverse effect of air safety which I know is not what you want.

But as I have said previously it is the lack of standardisation which is the main issue across all ATS in the UK FIR's. Once pilots know what they can and can't do they will in the main do it. If they get conflicting procedures between units that's when the problems start. Which ultimately leads in class G of saying " it" I can't be bothered with the hassle.
