I'm not looking for cause...I'm looking at whether or not an aircraft in that Height Category should EVER (at night) have been allowed to use either instrument approach?!?
Had there been some note in either approach procedure, in conjunction with the notes on BOTH that specify that the VGSI must be operative in order to fly the procedures at night, OR in the AFD stating that the mandatory lights were not compliant with aircraft larger than height cat 3 --- NO CARRIER WOULD EVER HAVE SENT AN AIRCRAFT OF THAT SIZE INTO BHM WITH ONLY 18 AVAILABLE IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Thoughts?
