This scenario is an
HS125 overflying an obstacle and landing on a reduced LDA.
NOTHING to do with my present company or type or their modus operandi! Neither have I suggested my own course of action. Be careful who you slur
See post #19 part of which
@ my UK airfield the whole process for this type of thing is covered by Departmental Instructions in the Airport Manual.
It takes into account the position & height of the obstruction etc & gives a revised LDA (i.e. full LDA minus strip minus RESA minus length blocked by obstruction). Revised declared distances would be NOTAM'd & put on the ATIS. Refer to CAP168 for the official info.
Just a final note. Our present limit for a sidestep/curved approach/circling is wings level at 300', very possibly manoeuvring over airport hotels, built up areas etc at lower levels. JFK13L comes to mind. Do other companies have higher/lower limits?
