with all due respect BOAC the current UK CAA CAP 393, Air Navigation Order, Article 48, paragraph (6) says:
“Without prejudice to paragraphs (4) and (5), an aircraft to which this article applies, when making a descent to an aerodrome, shall not descend from a height of 1000 feet or more above the aerodrome to a height of less than 1000 feet above the aerodrome if the relevant runway visual range at the aerodrome is at the time less than the specified minimum for landing”.
As you can see it still refers to 1000 ft footmark. Oddly enough I've been told it's been amended? Latest copy from Jepp about UK R&R regarding the Approach Ban
For non-JAR-OPS operators and those exempt from JAR-OPS 1.405:
Under U.K. Legislation an aircraft, when making a descent to an aerodrome, shall not descend from a height of 1000ft or more above the aerodrome to a height less than 1000ft above the aerodrome if the relevant RVR at the aerodrome is at the time less than the specified minimum for landing, or
1.continue an “approach to landing” at any aerodrome by flying below the relevant specified DH, or
2.descend below the relevant specified MDH unless, in either case, from such height the specified visual reference for landing is established and is maintained.
In first case CAA refers to registration of a/c, in Jepp it's about being JAR operator. Does it also mean EU OPS compliant?
Thanx for your help
