Circling Minima

Hi All

PANS-OPS list circling minima for Cat C as 3.7km and 591ft.

EU-OPS Table 10 uses 2.4Km and 600ft.

Does anyone know why the commission failed to use ICAO recommended minima; yes I am aware that they work in mysterious ways.

Because european pilots with TT 200hrs, after having payed 40k for a type rating and having being awake all nite long, without drinking coffee because that's gonna be charged, are still considered better than their colleagues from the rest of the world..

Ask yourself where a factor 1.5 is applied...
Maybe the term CMV needs researching

It's not a RVR/CMV issue, RVR wouldn't be reported above 1500m. EU-OPS lists a mimimum Met Vis for circling Cat C 2400m?
