What ever happened to 1/2 mile SRAs? (rather better than a "cloudbreak procedure")
Many withdrawn because other types of instrument approaches have been installed such as ILS/VOR/NDB/DME. Shame really I rather enjoyed flying them.

We used to fly Chipmunks at the East Midland School of Flying in the 1970s. Very often on return we'd fly an SRA to half mile. Controllers were keen to give them and I believe they had to do a certain number to maintain recency.

Also the half milers were a lot better than the "break cloud" 2 milers!
