EASA (ops) low vis minima recently updated; or under review ?
To my understanding only CAT D needs to have 350 m and nothing else. Assuming a properly designed aeroplane which does not create restrictions on the slant range / cockpit cutoff angle / visible segment.
On the second point I am not sure to understand the question. If you mean Amendment (New) to OPS 1.430 that is history over a decade ago.
But I may not be briefed on the latest since about 5 years.
Additional point where I beg to differ markedly is the 'each operator does diffefently'. The airplane has certified performance and any operator placing additional restrictions is losing money wasted on the inferior training coverage. Mean to say, eventually everyone does the same to reach the full potential as defined by manufacturer within the maximum extent available from the NAA.
Individual pilots being exposed to wide range of training materials and creative teaching guidelines notwithstanding.
AWO is far from being a new thing, the NAAs know well how to approve.
