For some reason I thought the ILS on 26 at Luton was either CAT 2 or 3. I looked it up in the manuals today and my company list both ends as Cat 1 only.

Silly question but can somebody confirm that?

LTN's ILS is most certainly CATIII at both ends. However, CATIII minima are not published on the respective Jeppesen approach plates.
Despite the fact that a particular airfield may well be "full CATIII", individual operators may not be. Hence, perhaps the absence of LVP minima from the "Company" section of some tailored Jepp manuals.

Thanks for that Pat.

I thought I was losing my marbles. I shall go into our Tech office later in the week and ask the reason why our limits are CAT 1 when we operate to CAT 3 (where available) routinely elsewhere in the UK.
