I haven't been following the Charting Forum for the past few years. It appears to be an air traffic initiative to lower MIAs and MVAs. If it goes anywhere, the science will have to come from Flight Standards or an outside contractor, such as MITRE. The Air Traffic organization has a reputation for being self-serving.

Yeah. But if ATC can get some more altitude to work with, the users will benefit.

Yes, if it is safe. First, someone with objective expertise has to prove that the present DMAs are overly conservative.

It was just a presentation at ACM and is not being tracked with an ACM recommendation.
