I find it an astonishing requirement. Every runway?? The installation is approved and tested; the a/c type is approved and tested; the airlines is approved and the crew are approved and tested. What more is necessary? If EASA says that this is not enough for a blanket approval then they they should say that every a/c and every crew needs to perform a practical demonstration that they are capable. Every crew & a/c can perform differently, so they need to be confirmed. That in effect is what they are saying. Nonsense. If all the components are approved then any combination of those components should also be approved.
If this edict is true I'd demand and love to hear an explanation from those who made it. Often, in aviation, a change in procedure comes about after an incident and i the hope of being proactive in prevention. What has happened to cause such requirement?
