Thank You

"Your company SOP is an entirely different document than the certification guidelines the aircraft received its type certificate under. For dispatch purposes; if your company wants to go from a category C to a category D (you and I both know this will increase the minimums, requiring higher visibility) and the government regulatory agency signs off on this policy, then you are a category “D” for the given operation-according to your company.

Your airline is free to set it own policy, with the concurrence of the overseeing governmental regulatory body, that policy become your SOP and dispatch operational procedure."


The statement above is the answer im looking for so thank you! But we never get told this at flight ops and I really do question some of the airports we fly to.

The aircraft we fly are always near full pax load and I personally dont trust the captains where Im working right now.
