"Jose" wrote in message m... Who here is willing to bet that a supervisor or a grouchy controller isn't going to file against them for violating the regs? In an emergency, you are permitted to... in fact supposed to... violate the regs to the extent necessary to meet the emergency. It's your call, but I'd bet my ticket the FAA would back the pilot in that case. Jose -- I agree with you Jose, but what is the emergency? Loss of a radio in IMC when there's a procedure to get you on the ground? I just don't see it and, although many cite controller opinions on this that violating the procedure is expected and condoned, I think it dangerous and foolhardy for anyone to do so. Until the procedure(s) is/are rescinded, I think its unlikely that you'd convince all your "judges" that you had an emergency situation because the procedure was inconvenient. As you say, it's your call although that call could, potentially (unlikely I agree), kill someone. Jim
