A380 and the ILS
22.02.2011
Submission:
According to PANS-OPS aircraft in holding bay or in taxi holding position at a range between threshold and –250 with a maximum height above the threshold of 22m may be ignored in the ILS OCA/H calculations.The height of an A380 is 24m. Is there any mitigation for that case or should the A380 be accounted for as a critical obstacle?

Answer or Commentary:
I.WI think it should be taken into account as an obstacle.
However I think that the IFPP should look into this with the possibility of determining a new distance for taxiing and holding specifically for the A380.
Also I wonder, is the height loss for the A380 the same as for a Category D aircraft?
Do other people have comments?
