It is still idiotic.

No one is going to follow any procedure that is basically unsafe.


So what did you intend to say?



One more time, the procedure you are talking about is the IFR
procedure. The CCB procedures are for VFR traffic.


I pointed out the conflict between the ODP and the noise abatement procedure
before you identified it as being for VFR operations only. Initially you
did not differentiate between IFR and VFR.




No, that is because, as someone pointed out, safety has a higher
priority than noise abatement.

The VFR procedure turns you towards slowly rising terrain and mountains
about 4 miles away.

If you are VFR, that is a non-issue since in VFR conditions you can
see the terrain and the mountains and make your East or West turn
miles before you get to them.


VFR operations can be conducted with as little as one mile visibility.



I know all about scud running and it has nothing to do with what we
are talking about.


Yes it does.



You are mearly trying to redirect the discussion because you have
nothing valid to say about the discussion topic, i.e. the VFR
procedures at CCB.


Why did you not identify them as VFR procedures initially?



Decades of safe operation by thousands of pilots.


How do you know there have been no incidents where the procedure was a
contributing factor?



Are you really that dense?


I'm not at all dense.
