No, the orders are guidance, but no one is going to criticize a center for
using radar coverage as a floor in a terrain-laden area like the Palm
Springs area.


FAA orders are guidance? They're not mandatory for those affected? What in
the wide, wide world of sports do you base that on?

Why wouldn't someone who knows how it's supposed to be done criticize a
center for doing it improperly?



The MVA and MIA charts I posted a couple of months ago for that area made
that quite clear.


Made what quite clear? That FAA orders are only guidance material, or that
