<<Can CAT III approaches be made at all aiports with an ILS.>>

Just to confirm... the ILS has to be up to Cat III standard and there are various other requirements too. The ILS Sensitive Area has to be clear - at major airports ground staff will ensure this with regular checks. It's a fairly complex operation to introduce Low Visibility Procedures and can take half an hour or more to implement.
