What does the OMA say? And what is the controlling document in the event of a conflict between the two? and what does the company expect, and one last thing...what does the OMA say? It’s a grey area yes, but is about what’s written, and not assumed, unless of course you get so low on approach at night that causes a caution.
MM,
I’ll bite... haha
This is the OM-A:
‘When a warning occurs during daylight VMC conditions, if positive visual verification is made that no hazard exists, the warning may be considered cautionary.
A go-around shall be initiated in any case if the cause of the warning cannot be identified immediately.’
So yes, in daylight/VMC, you can continue if a positive identification is made, otherwise you need to go-around.
It doesn’t mention IMC or night at all.
In the FCOM however, it is written very clear that at night or IMC, the escape manoever needs to be flown.
I don’t see any grey area here, it is as clear as can be to me...
