Fog in Perth (Part 2)

You do not understand what we are trying to say. There is no requirement and no procedures in place at any aerodrome in Australia for the protection of the ILS sensitive areas because all ILS’s are to CAT 1 only. Nor are there procedures in place for the correct separation of aircraft that would normally be required on a LWMO approach. As keg has said there are considerations regarding backup power, HIAL or lack of and runway and taxiway lights. If you can’t see that a number of critically important safety protection layers of the Swiss cheese have been removed then I'm sorry. There are some of us out there that can and take it very seriously.
No one has said that the QF crew in question didn’t do the right thing and do an auto land. They did. What we are saying is that because they had to do it, the safety of the pax and crew were put at greater risk than if they had to do a CAT 1 ILS to a Cat 1 Minima.
