Shallow Fog - Approach Ban

IFR minima

Interesting topic...

Part 91 Corporate in the US seems a little easier...

I can shoot the ILS no matter what is reported.
At 200 feet, I need to be able to see the lights and then...
at 100 feet I need to be able to see the 'runway environent'

While the regs are not subject to interpretation, to shoot approaches to say 100 indef and 600 RVR it comes down to 'what the pilot saw' if you make it in.

There are those who can, and those who bitch about those who can.

ssg That was the case in UK / Europe several years ago (general aviation).

Those who thought they could, but couldn’t, and did, crashed. Thus, new regulations were introduced to provide constrains on those who thought they could, but now they cannot . . . legally.

Wotsyors:

well, if you know a jaa operator working on QFE I`d like to know which one.

Well, we use QFE and we're a UK based JAA operator. Or don't you count helicopters?!

And I don't think there's anything grey about 1000ft aal, which we also go by. In response to "Below absolute minima, state your intentions", we say "continuing to 1000ft" and hope for an improvement meantime.
