Man Mini, thats some ride....
I'd be pretty pissed if I ever ran into a DE like that, and knowing me, I'd tell him straight where to go....and correspondingly lose my ticket...
Here's a clip from AC-90-94, need to read the whole thing, but this is just a short excerpt....need to go to bed now...
4 EN ROUTE DOMESTIC AND TERMINAL. Domestic en route operations are defined as that
phase of flight between departure and arrival terminal phases, with departure and arrival points within
the U.S. NAS. Terminal area operations include those flight phases conducted on charted Standard
Instrument Departures (SIDs), on Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STARS), or during other flight
operations between the last en route Wwaypoint and an initial approach Wwaypoint. In addition to the
criteria outlined in paragraph 3.b.( l), the following criteria applies:
a. Other navigation equipment should be installed and operational to receive the intended
ground-based facilities which define the route to be flown to the destination and any required alternate.
b . Ground-based facilities which define these routes must also be operational.
c. Aircraft should be equipped with an approved and operational alternate means of
navigation appropriate to the route being flown. This navigation equipment must be operational, but it
does not have to be actively monitored unless the RAIM capability of the system fails. The purpose of
these backup systems is to ensure that the aircraft can continue to the destination if something unforeseen
occurs to the avionics or GPS constellation.
I dont buy the whole climb back up thing, because what if the MEA is above your capability, say you dont have O2 available. One route I think of goes from PXR up towards INW, the MEA is 145 or 160 or something, and the MOCA is 9800'.
