Surveillance Radar Approach
A question for the ATCOs on pprune please.
Reading through an IFR book today it talks about 'surveillance radar approaches'. Basically, ATC provides track guidance down a final approach path if equipment failure has ruled out all other types of instrument approach. Is this still a back-up emergency procedure because I've never heard of it before and can't find it in the AIPs?
I believe it could also be called a cloud break procedure.
