Well, regarding the MUC non-standard ILS for rwy 26R, I was enlightened the other night.

During LOFT session in A320 sim, we developed G+Y dual hydraulic failure while flyng from DUS to NUE. As FRA was lousy weatherwise, we decided the diversion to MUC was the best solution. There were no ILS MUC charts in our Jeppessens, so we took out ones from simīs chart library. They turned out to be LIDOīs and printed on them was the solution to ILS mistery:
ILS is non-standard due to threshold crossing height of 61 feet.
And thatīs all there is to it.

It seems that 11 feet more on threshold crossing was enough for LBA to qualify the ILS as non-standard and Jepp dully passed the info without further explanation. And with 4000m of runway available and flying ATR, I was never worried about TCH. At least now I know where too look next time iīm faced with non-std ILS caption.
