Thanks for the reply. Yea, that's a concern as well. I think that's often true, but sometimes terrain can take the OROCAs far higher than is necessary to be safe. I've seen MOCAs that are 7,000 feet below the OROCA.

I'm not a user Xavion, and won't be, but you clearly don't understand the functionality that's built into it and how it differs from loading an instrument approach.

The MSA from the approach plates? I believe that's 1,000 feet above, regardless of mountainous terrain designation, and doesn't do much good past ~25NM from the airport. Even if I figure out this altitude, is there a good chance I won't be allowed to fly it due to being lower than the radar...
