If you think in terms of getting down to a stepdown to "get out of the

that is a good way to find granite or trees instead of water vapor.

This
is not
just my view; the industry/government accident stats are replete.


Only if the published altitudes are wrong.


I guess the stats and industry/government studies are all wet then.

The published altitudes weren't wrong at KBDL when the AAL MD80 hit the
