EU-OPS Minima
Slightly off topic here but correct me if i'm wrong:
"What's even more amusing is that in our route folder, only some of the booklets are in the new format. That technically means we're still using JAR-OPS for some approach minima (as there is no alternative) and EU-OPS for others. Ridiculous."
My understanding of Eu-Ops was that operators had a 3 year period of grace during which they could remain with Jar-Ops minima before using the revised method of minima calculation contained within Eu-Ops, which in some cases gives more favourable minima. However an operator must choose one or the other and cannot cherry pick between Jar-Ops minima and Eu-Ops minima.. For this reason my airline has chosen to stay with Jar-Ops until Aerad have finished introducing the Aerochart standard and has issued guidance that the EU-Ops minima cannot be used. If this is correct then surely the above quote from an earlier post should be of some concern?
