Ha ha - very good.

However I was after the system minima for Non-Precision Approaches. The definition given in Annex 1 is as follows;

(80) ‘non-precision approach (NPA) operation’ means an instrument approach with a minimum descent height (MDH), or DH when flying a CDFA technique, not lower than 250 ft and an RVR/CMV of not less than 750 m for aeroplanes and 600 m for helicopters;
However, EU-OPS distinguishes between the different types of NPA system minima (eg NDB 300 ft etc).

It would appear that IR-OPS is less restrictive that EU-OPS.... I'm pretty sure I've got that wrong though ....
