I take it when you say "manned tower and is currently under IFR conditions" you mean that the airfield is in IMC.
No such thing really as "IFR conditions". IFR is just different flight rules to VFR and different licence privileges. After all most IFR trips I've done have been in VMC. To fly the procedural approach it will done under IFR whatever the weather conditions. IFR conditions is an American term. |

I meant pea soupy, cannae see oo’t the windae, hounds of the Baskervilles type weather :rolleyes:

Glendalegoon, have to agree with you.

What is the D4 garmin approach ?
Oh and while I am at it, another IFR approach question, I was under the hood with an instructor in perfect VFR conditions and was cleared by approach for the ILS wry 16R at KVNY (van nuys) the wind favored 34, I was instructed that I would need to circle , upon reaching UMBER I self briefed the approach out loud so the instructor could gauge my work, looking at the plate for the DH I noticed there were no circling minimums listed. I asked the instructor what minimums I should use and he said he was unsure but it did not matter as we were going visual soon anyway. My question, is the circling minimums not being listed for that approach a moot point as if the airfield was under IFR conditions with the wind favoring 34 we would not have been given the ILS16 anyway ? |
Its a made up illegal gps procedure. Which throws all known safety standards for terrian seperation out the window.
There will be a circling min somewhere. If there isn't one technically you can descend to MSA and thats as low as you can go. |

Is this an UK special question?
As I remember from flying under EU rules on continental Europe, you had to declare some kind of urgency to ATC to be allowed to pick up IFR in flight without prior flight plan. In many cases I heard them say, "land at the nearest airport, file a flight plan for IFR and take off again with it" - same with this night VFR flying. Am I correct, that this AFIL for VFR is now coming with this SERA thingies and that currently the question is only raising in the UK? |
Made up by the pilots usually with no sanction by the company.
There is no EU rule stopping you flying IFR without a plan. Over 7500kg you have to have a flight plan anyway be it VFR or IFR. Some country's though may get ****ty with you or have differences files. As such ATC services are not under a common EASA set of rules yet and there are quite large differences between country's. And UK has the most differences I might add away from ICAO. |

that's not the way I read it.
I read it that it was a way of getting under the traffic in the hold so they could get in first. And if the cloud base was more than 3k the SEP wouldn't be IFR either. And I agree if anyone hears it being done a phone call to the AAIB and the aircraft will be impounded until the CVR and FDR is pulled. |
mad jock you're being a bit obstructional. This was all started by your post #14 when you refused to climb.
A more reasonable pilot would oblige ATC and accept an extra 1,000 ft. Temperature drop (in cloud) would be 1.5 degrees less. Icing was never part of the example. In any event once the intruder's position is known (e.g. at the hold), ATC can safety pass a vector (e.g. fly to the east) to keep lateral separation from the commercial inbound. From a higher altitude the commercial can expedite descent i.e. use speed brakes, on the outbound heading to be level per procedure at the turn. If this became a sticky situation ATC would give the intruder priority. I never suggested flying below MSA. flyme. |
Its class g there is no priority and as such there is no such thing as an intruder.
Just traffic. Procedural controllers in class G cannot force any aircraft to do anything. Are you really a pilot flying CAT? A procedural controller issuing vectors your in cloud cuckoo land. Again if anyone hears that report them. The only thing they can do is send you to the intial approach fix and when there is no traffic that they know about tell you that to start the procedure. BTW I am Atpl holder with a reasonable amount of experence flying into all the procedural airports in scotland. Everything you have suggested is completely against pan-ops and illegal. I hope to hell your a FO |
Procedural controllers in class G cannot force any aircraft to do anything. |
Under the ATSOCA crap thats exactly what the pilot can do. The controller can then drop them to a basic service if they so wish.
But as such they can't clear you for anything. Its a procedural service for participating traffic. Which is a common miss conception to alot of CAT pilots they have zero protection just because they are talking to a procedural service or for that matter while flying a procedure in class G. Anything can be flying through the procedure airspace and hold with out talking to the service. Personally I think CAT pilots should have procedural class G airspace rating. The knowledge level of most is utterly appalling as shown by flyme |
From 2014 Airspace & Safety Initiative (ASI). so may not necessarily be authoritative:
A Procedural Service is a non surveillance service in which deconfliction advice is provided against other aircraft in receipt of a Procedural Service from the same controller. The avoidance of other aircraft is the pilot’s responsibility. Why do Controllers use the phrases: "Cleared to enter the Hold", "Cleared for the ILS procedure", etc? |
unless your in controlled airspace they shouldn't.
"nothing know to effect taking up the hold FLxxx" "nothing known to effect the NDB/DME/ILS runway xx report beacon outbound" etc should be what your getting in Class G. |

An example of a typical NDB(L) instrument approach procedure to an aerodrome outside controlled airspace follows; [...] G-CD, cleared to BTN at FL80, expect NDB/DME approach RW 34, expected approach time 58 [...] G-CD, cleared NDB/DME approach runway 34, report beacon outbound |
It was the word "advice" (that I underlined) in my original comment that caused me to ask my question. However I now note that "advice" only applies for deconfliction purposes.
Is the ATC unit not the 'Controlling Authority' for their Procedure and therefore perfectly able to give Clearances to those aircraft that have requested to participate in their Procedural Service? They would certainly (as Gertrude suggests) be entitled to say "Procedural Service Terminated - Advise us of your intentions" to those aircraft that refuse to abide by their terms. |
