if I understand what you're saying, with FMS inop there should be a more restrictive TC that will guarnatee a net ceiling equal to or higher than MEA under all conditions, for the purpose of navaid reception. sounds like a great idea but I'm not sure how it's relevant to the question.

The fact remains that J15 is brown but this route doesn't have TC/DD info. we've speculated that the part of the route that requires TC/DD info if it's brown is the cruise part, above the valid altitude (FL240/250) and that the departure and arrival phases have their own MEA/MOCA's and need no TC/DD because the airport of departure/arrival is accessible at all weights and ISAs.
