If we need to deviate to an alternate--filed or not--the landing minimums used are the ones published on the approach charts.

FINDING NON-PRECISION

Progressive experience: Airlines have learned the hard way that experience matters and Part 121 requires captains transitioning to new equipment to increase their landing minimums during their first 100 hours in that type.

As safe as the airlines? Can part 91 operations ever be as safe as the scheduled airlines? Yes; by adopting a few of their ideas, we also can get to zero fatal accidents

This vast improvement could eventually challenge today's taxi, takeoff and landing minimums and provide greater operating flexibilities.

Enhanced SmartView being tested

This improved system is hoped to eventually challenge current taxi, takeoff and landing minimums to provide greater operating flexibilities.

Honeywell to develop new technology for SmartView

Honeywell says it is working with the US Federal Aviation Administration "to understand the path to certification" of a combined synthetic and enhanced vision head-down display system that could be used to gain lower landing minimums in instrument flight conditions without a head-up display.

Kollsman, Inc.'s (www.kollsman.com) was the first to certify one of those million-dollar systems that uses a heads-up display and affords lower landing minimums in your Gulfstream G-V.

FLIR for FLIBs: night vision at a price: enhanced vision through forward-looking infrared may be the next must-have safety feature, but it's still too pricey to make the decision a no-brainer

After waiting for the F-18s to land safely (including the #5 F/A-18 who temporarily closed the single runway with a blown tire), Gold 01 landed and relayed the weather was marginally at ILS landing minimums. Gold 01, realizing the difficulty the second cell might experience, wasted no time in coordinating ground refueling and kept the crew in close proximity of the plane.

Aircrew safety award of distinction

Multi-piloted criteria: An approach can be commenced when reported weather is at or below published landing minimums as long as the aircraft has the capability to proceed to a suitable alternate in the event of a missed approach.

Out of good ideas

A procedure will remain if its removal would eliminate the lowest landing minimums to a runway.

TOO MANY APPROACHES

Contributing to the accident were the fog and below landing minimums visibility conditions."

Surviving the missed: plan for missing the approach before you leave the FAF. And remember: the first step on every miss is to initiate a climb before turning

This ties in with the FA A's definition of landing minimums using visibility only with no mention of ceiling.

GA takeoff minimums

When it comes to ceilings as part of landing minimums the answer is a bit complicated.

Is a ceiling sealing: Instrument approaches list visibility and ceiling minimums needed for the approach. What do you really need in order to start the approach and to land?
