Outside the busy summer season, our aircraft often get chartered for non-routine destinations. I can imagine myself going to e.g. Zagreb, Croatia where we have state approval to conduct CatIIIB with RVR of 75 m and NO DH, but not able to land in lowvis due to this requirement and having to fly a catII approach with manual landing at some alternate airport. Is that safer then???
I can't see the logic in that!
Thanks for the replies. I'm "glad" to see that it's not only the Belgian CAA which requires the application of this idiotic EASA requirement.
