Anyone else think it’s a bit ridiculous you aren’t supposed to use the Rnav procedures in the box to backup a visual? It’s visual, we are using references outside the aircraft, not poking holes through clouds without charts and approval. Having this backup seems to be far safer than not. Or just keep getting EGPWS alerts and using less accurate methods?

There’s exceptions to every rule. Use your best judgement, which some people seem to lack.

If you're talking about the LAS stuff on comply, I'm pretty sure they just mean do not use that specific RNAV visual until it is approved by the FAA. Not that you can never use an RAV as a backup to a visual.

It was definitely more helpful than going in and building your own points seeing as it guided you away from terrain and gave VNAV guidance.

Building your own is pretty easy though. Klas.rw08/bearing/3/. And do a 10 mile. Throw the altitude based on the 3:1 rule, with a little situational awareness of altitude where you are intercepting it’s easy

Crew on a line check got a GWPS landing 8R. Day Visual. Set 1000 AGL and almost hit the rocks..

FOSA says you cannot accept an RNAV Visual approach, since they are charted and per OPS specs. What you use to help on a visual approach is up to you as a pilot.

Come on guys and gals.. not rocket science.. Fly the airplane!!!
