CAT III FO with DH<50ft and RVR75 - does the rule EU 965/2012 make any sense regarding this point? Isn't it wrong and dangerous to imply such operation? I would appreciate some thoughts...Especially when having an A/C related min DH of lets say 25ft, to fixing a min RVR of 75m?
Mostly the 'line of sight' will not give the possibility to judge the runway lights within the remaining few meters over the A/C nose...the RVR will allways include a part covered by the nose. Even more with 130 kts and coming out of vmc/clouds/fog at 25ft.
Hi Axel, precision instrument approaches aren't definitely my area of expertise, but I was discussing this with the Chief Pilot and we're wondering what FO stands for?
Hi Goncalo, FO is the short for Fail Operational and thats a (new) wording for CAT IIIB because the system behind the capability is fail operational (dual Autopilot, Autoland, Auotmatic Rollout guidance system)
