RENURPP, I know I was having a stab, but as I said, I don't have access to Jepps either here or at work - merely a guess. If they cover both straight in and circling approaches, does that mean you have to have a green light for the SI as well? I don't see where the difference is when you can plough through controlled airspace and fill your boots to an approach, but then all of a sudden you need some postive instruction to land if you have a radio failure??? Sounds strange. I think Richo has adequetly explained the lights and why they are there. I learnt something too!
Richo, thanks for you post. Yep, the coalface guys and gals try their utmost, but the equipment invariably lets them down. I also think when it comes to matters of the aerodrome, DIA and the RAAF always get into arguments about who should pay for what. This usually results in long periods of unncessary unserviceabilities and stupid NOTAMs.
See ya,
NFR.
