St Mawgan MORs

Like all UK military airfields, St Mawgan is required by JSP552 to submit a report whenever a civil aircraft makes an approach in visibility below 1000m. In doing so, they are not accusing the pilot of breaking his/her own minima. It is for SRG to decide whether there is need for further follow up, and frequently they simply reply that "all is in order". Why the 1000m limit?... dunno, but that's the rules St Mawgan has to play by! Hope that clears things up, and sure it's nothing personal?

Ohh... and on the subject of use of QNH? St Mawgan has obtained approval to use QNH, on request, as an alternative to QFE (which remains the UK military preference). Roll out expected to be 01 June 2005.
