There's a report, but I haven't enough posts to attach it, being an interested SLF lurker who doesn't usually feel informed enough about anything, to post!!

I understand that the Committee on Economy, Finance and Tourism Madeira of the Legislative Assembly of Madeira are holding inquiry into the operation of the airport, and this is a report of evidence it received from an experienced pilot, suggesting that the mandatory limits be removed, and the onus placed on pilots to make their own judgement. Dont know when a decision is expected or even if one will ever be made !!
