If the aircraft is fully functional, we are trained appropriately, not additions to minima, etc, what would be the cat3 minima for this approach?
My thoughts are either, even though we can do a no DH - 75m approach, according the lido legends, the mentioned 50-200r are the lowest minima for this approach, so my minima too. Or are these the minima we must observe if, for some reason (tech?), we can't do a DH<50ft-75r (fail operational) approach? So if fail operational we can do no DH-75, otherwise 50-200. But what's the "company" line? According lido, company regs and minima must be observed. Are they only valid when those are somehow higher than the (in this case) 50-200r?
As others have already pointed out, when dealing with LVPs it is pretty much all Operator specific. Your main reference on what you can or cannot do is your Operator's OM-A section 8.4, in addition to other publications you might have such as low vis manuals etc..
