The point I was making is that the straight in MDAs for 08 are now the same as the circling MDA following an approach to 26 in a CAT A aircraft (most single engine pistons).
Thus why fly past the airfield by 10 miles and turn round and make an approach when one can shoot the ILS followed by a quick circle to land on the appropriate part of the runway.
I was under the impression that RESA applied to all aircraft. Am I wrong?
Also why restrict the runway length for departures on 26...if there are houses, there is no restriction on climbing straight ahead and having an engine failure just in time to hit them.
Saying no intersection departures would be more appropriate!!
