Thumbs up Thanks for the feedback

Thanks all very much for the valuable feedback and links. From what I could quickly tell, the visibility and lighting requirements for LPV are not mentioned in your local examples and this is the point..

With all emphasis on LPVs lowering ceiling and little mentioned on improving (or maintaining) vis criteria, the lighting piece needs to be explored or at least confirmed through ICAO regulation, that the same (precision approach) lighting standard applies to LPV as they do to ILS.

In this, it's my humble view that you shouldn't apply the current precision approach lighting standard, simply because LPVs are better (more stable, more accurate) than ILS - but this is an argument for another day.

As we move towards LPV-200 (genuine Cat 1 ILS equivalent), the lighting requirement is really important and needs sorting out.

Thanks again very much for the quick and informative replies...
