Maybe this tread http://www.pprune.org/french-forum/4...ml#post5703460 can add something here.
If I remember correctly Google translate came up with something about "no international standard exists" in the french document referred.
There is probably an FAA doc somewhere that Jeppesen can look into for cat II/III in the USA but without such a thingy outside USA Jeppesen will be very carefull about what they put on paper.

dusktodawn:

IAPs are rule-making amendments in FAA-dom. The rule is quite detailed and issued on a form that all the chart-makers use as the basis for IAP segments andd minimums.

In the US take a look at the following:
AC 120-28A
AC 120-29A
Outside the US:
Pan OPS 8168
ICAO Rules of the Air
Jeppesen ATC 608-614 EU OPS-1 AOM

That should cause your eyes to water over fairly quickly/ :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

You'll go mad reading those ACs...although they do form the basis for the actual program at any US carrier. An alternative would be to try these excerpts from the Air Carrier Inspector's Handbook (used to be FAA 8400.10, now 8900.10). They are much better written and actually have a logical flow.

If you go to:

Flight Standards Information System (FSIMS)

I'm not smart enough to figure out how to link directly to the content documents, and they don't make that obvious. But a "quick search" window will be in the upper right; do a quick search for the term "CAT III" and you'll get a list of documents. The four listed below should be in the list. They provide a really good comprehensive background on a lot of this stuff...from the US FAA side, that is.
