Milan Malpensa
Runway 17R hold point.
Has only combined CATII-CATIII hold point indication.
It is only a very short taxi from Terminal 2 to this runway so much head down checking to be carried out in the taxi.
Should you taxi beyond, in say 800 metres vis.,at night,when low vis procedures not in force, looking for CAT I hold point, you would already be entering the runway!!!
On questioning the reason for not including a CAT I hold point indication they will tell you that there is no space for a second hold point. Now Milan Airport Authority, why can,t you just add CAT I to the sign & maybe save a few lives- maybe those of your own wives & children!!!!
