IFR Approach to minimums..are you allowed?
Of interest to all you "bus drivers" flying around (and through) the land of the long white cloud.
Are you aware of the CAA Rule Parts 121.159, 125.159, and 135.159 that read as follows...
121.159 Aerodrome operating minima – IFR flight
(a) A pilot-in-command shall not continue an instrument approach to an aerodrome past the final approach fix or, where a final approach fix is not used, the final approach segment of the instrument approach procedure if, prior to passing the final approach fix or the final approach segment, current meteorological information indicates the visibility at the aerodrome is less than the visibility prescribed under Part 95 for the instrument approach procedure being used.
(b) For the purpose of this rule, the final approach segment begins—
(1) at the final approach fix or facility prescribed in the instrument approach procedure; or
(2) when a final approach fix is not prescribed for a procedure that includes a procedure turn, at the point where the procedure turn is completed and the aeroplane is established on the final approach course within the distance prescribed in the procedure.
[Until Part 95 comes into force, instrument approach procedures are prescribed under Part 19]
