PAPI and ILS Cat 2 or 3 operations
Hai friends,
Its just a doubt arised during discussion with my colleagues today.
As per Annex 14, PAPI (or any Visual approach slope indicator) is mandatory for turbojet aircraft operations.
For ILS cat 3B operation the RVR can be up to 50m.
In most of the case the missed approach points are at 1 DME or more. In such RVR conditions whether PAPI will be visible to the pilot ?
So whats the relevance in making PAPI mandatory for operations ?
Pls give your opinion.
