Why do it if it's not fun?

Some good thoughts.

FT, thanks for the link, which doesn't directly answer my question by does raise some interesting points.

Eile, your reply (that the procedures are generally the same for Cat A and B) is what my colleagues said when I discussed it with them. However, they will normally have different RVR minima for the two categories. And there is one particular airport we go to where the approach is given for Cat A only. It's these specific cases that I'm interested in.

You said, regarding flying a Cat A/B approach, that:
We then had to ensure we flew the procedure turns at a max of 140 knots
Were you allowed to fly the procedure up to (but not including) the procedure turn at greater than 140kts? If that's the case, then it pretty much answers my question, since we will always be at 110kt before a procedure turn on any approach.

Thanks for the all the replies so far!

FFF
