Hello Folks,

In fact, it's fairly simple. The same way you have to differentiate between "certification" and "operation" when using and aircraft, there is a difference in the "design" and "operation" of an approach.

An approach will be designed by the state authority based on certain criteria standard, mainly PANS OPS or TERPS in the US.

Now as an European operator, your operating regulation (EU-OPS) states that you must determine minimums that shall not be lower then certain value given in appendix 1 (new) to EU-OPS 1.430

If you decide to use Jeppesen, instead of having your mate in the seat next to you pulling out the approach plate and the EU-OPS during the arrival briefing and start comparing the value, the folks at Jeppesen though it would be a good idea to have a little label that would give the crew the information that the minimums printed on the chart are good.
JAR-OPS -> appendix 1 old
Standard -> appendix 1 new

Cheers,
