Another significant issue for low viz ops at EGNS, is on RWY08 the ILS is offset from the runway.
For Cat III maybe, but for Cat I, poorer or fewer lights equals higher min viz to legally attempt the approach in the first place.
Another problem with 08 is the PAPIs are set to a different angle to the approach so getting 2 reds and 2 whites on an accurately flown approach at minima isn’t a given.
