Using Cat 2/3 plates instead of cat 1 ILS

Fullwings said:

What is going to help you fly a better approach when using a Cat III chart instead of just one with the ILS on it? (Of whatever category) Am I missing something? A LVP taxi chart with the appropriate holding points is useful but that's on another page...

Hiya Fullwings....

One good reason for the extra plates (which has not been touched on yet in this thread) is the fact that lower minima might result in performance issues on the go-around to clear all obstacles, esp single engine. The go-around track might be totally different in Cat 2/3 cases to satisfy this requirement.
