Minima are busted in the UK on probably a more frequent basis than you would expect.
And your evidence of this is?
Finally, we are talking safety here. Without centerline lights, CAT3 landings would be unsafe due to the lack of visual references in the rollout unless the RVR is 550+.....agreed?
AMC OPS 1.430(b) states that 300m RVR is the minimum for CATIIIB or CATIIIA without centreline lights during daylight and that neither are allowed at night.
Why then is it more safe for one operator to know that the RVR is less than 550m and land CAT3 and for another to do the exact same but be unsafe....simply because they received the information earlier.
Who says it's safer? It's just the rules.
