JimL,

Thanks for the reply, in response...

"you are clearly not operating in Commercial Air Transport (CAT) in Europe under JAR-OPS"

That is correct, we have no obligation to operate within PC1 and hence no obligation to fly CAT A profiles, however the aircraft are capable of it and the pilots are trained in the procedures so what i'm trying to do is carry out a simple survey to ascertain whether the obstacles surrounding the pad prohibits a CAT A profile (using the exact criteria you outlined) being safely flown.

The pads are not necessarily civilian so have not been previously surveyed!

I'm just looking for examples of how these types of plates are presented in a user friendly format.

Cheers
