PAR
Situation:
Operating to an airfield in a Middle Eastern FIR whose State's Civil Aviation Authority's sovereign right to manage its airspace has been usurped by a foreign military power.
The GP element of the ILS serving said airfield is U/S. There exists a published PAR approach but it is annotated "not for civil use" - the service is provided by military equipment and operators. Request to the ANS provider and the military to provide a one off exemption to the civil operator to be provided a PAR service is vetoed by a FAA field officer who claims civil pilots are not trained to fly PAR approaches!
Question 1:- Is there anyone out there who flies PAR approaches on commercial civil ops on a regular basis?
Question 2: - Does a State's aviation licensing authority mandate flight testing and subsequent aircrew license instrument rating with an endorsement to be able to fly PAR approaches?
Question 3: - Are there any mandated currency requirements to be met by civil aircrew prior to flying a PAR approach?
