RAT 5 -
I still find it scary that some airlines ban night landings without glide path guidance. We have to pass vision medicals but Mk.1 eyeball is not allowed. Can't wait for the press release when PM's a/c is diverted due to ILS failure and pilots are not allowed to land because no PAPI's.
Uh....with some of today's Captians accepting minimum fuel all the time, just how do you think they will divert? They won't have any fuel.
