Alas, not any mention of the FMS database visual they were cleared for. (almost hypocritical.)
Properly executed (airplane and/or flight crew) it (the FMS Visual) would have satisfied all the flight guidance requirements of the SAFO.
I believe this SAFO is systemic of our dysfunctional FAA (on a corporate level) trying to get out in front of what I suspect is a very angry NTSB.
