Hi,
Was flying to Paris the other day, and noticed on the jepp plate that there's a different DA for LACFT.
I suspect LACFT means "large aircraft". But is the definition of large aircraft in this case, an aircraft weighting more than 12500 lbs?
I find it strange, because what other type of aircraft would be landing in CDG? (are bizjet lighter?)
And why put it in the manner of a small note at the bottom of the chart, so it may be unoticed to most?
