Mandatory call at 1 or 1,5nm finals....
....our airport authority came up with a plan to make flying at our place more safe.
Part of this plan is to call "PAPI in sight and established" at 1 or 1,5nm final. (not finally clear what is correct)
The MAP (following a LOC DME) is at 1,0nm at which point the 3,7° LOCDME becomes a 4° PAPI visual portion. The 4° are required to clear an elevated 6 lane street just in front of the threshold.
We consider this call to be unsafe, because it should be done in the phase of the highest required concentration and when workload is high.
The wise people from the asylum say, that this call would raise the situational awareness and alertness.
Thoughts ?
