We are starting our CAT II operation soon (people in training now) and I Just noticed this week while landing at Luton that the CAT II minimums there are somewhat unusual (see chart).
Here are my questions in regards to this approach on RWY 26 at Luton...
I did notice the CAT II warning note (boxed in red) and perhaps that's the reason behind the
RA 132' setting but I'm sure some of the folks that have been flying CAT IIs for a while will know the answer especially the ones that fly into Luton often.
Am I correct to assume that we should set the radio altimeter to
132' for this approach because of the uneven terrain just prior to the threshold of this runway which in turn if you were stable on the G/S and at
132' RA you would then be indeed at a
DA of 608' and
100' above the runway?
Would some operators use the DA of 608' for a call and not use the radio altimeter in this case because of the uneven terrain?
Thanks for your inputs.
