Cork and Ryanair
I can't see what all the fuss is about. I'm merely commenting on the fact that Ryanair has managed to avoid diverting any of their Dublin Cork flights and all but one of their Gatwick Cork flights for the last twelve months.
I accept that there's an element of luck in this but also it's down to the fact that they are willing and able to carry out CAT2 approches unlike some of their competitors.
Their record in SNN and DUB is also excellent yet no one makes any innuendos about that.
CAT 2 rvr limit at Cork is 300m. Neither Aer Rianta/CAA or IAA has ever said that CAT3 is impossible at Cork. The issue is whether it's worth the Capital cost. The amount of diversions it would prevent is quite small especially as some airlines can't get around to implementing CAT2 approaches.
