"Well, there is the possibility to get a Lower than Standard minimum according to EU-OPS. And for EVS the minima are even lower. All according to EU-OPS and CAT I. Usual values for LTS are 400m RVR, for EVS 350m. We have those minima on our charts, however we do use only the standard values and use CAT II/III if needed. No idea what the requirements are to get an approval for LTS."

Taking into consideration this is the Biz Jets and GA forum, I don't think the majority of these aircrafts are certified to fly a CAT II approach and none a CAT III approach (except perhaps the Boeing and Airbus BBJs).

Although some private jets do have a HUD system, not too many have the EVS systems onboard.

EVS will allow you to go 100 feet below minimums if you get a suitable EVS image by the time you get to the regular minimum for that approach.

Once the EVS image is seen/captured and you call "EVS visual" you can continue to 100 feet below the minimum at which point you must have "burn through" to continue the approach to a landing or else a missed approach must be executed.
