Hi all,
I have wondered about that changed wording regarding the GS / OM altimeter check in the Jepps.
Why have we gone from (in the regs I mean) adding to our decision altitude any difference noted at the check height fix (assuming on glide-slope at the time and identifying an overreading altimeter)
to
"If the check indicates an unexplained discrepancy, the ILS approach should be discontinued"?
Is this simply more CASA arse-covering stuff to avoid being sued in incident / accident from someone stuffing up their ILS or is there a good reason for the changed wording that I'm missing?
In practice, would CASA still view it as legit to add to DA any discrepancy identified from the check height? If so, why the change?
Depending on your point of view, the new wording seems more ambiguous and open to disregard than previously.
Could someone in the know please enlighten me on that?
TJ
