What is CHIRP? In the US, ATC is required to vector aircraft to intercept
the localizer at an altitude not above the glideslope or below the minimum
glideslope intercept altitude specified on the SIAP.

The Confidential Human factors Incident Reporting Programme - a way for UK
pilots to report "negative" human factors-induced events that either (a)
aren't necessarily formally reportable or (b) they would rather raise
anonymously rather than complain to their company, for fear of reprisals.
Summaries are produced quarterly, and are seen to be very valuable to the
aviation community, and where appropriate the relevant authorities are
consulted/informed in order that action may be considered, without
compromising confidentiality. Have a look at http://www.chirp.co.uk/.
