Different categories of ILS hold short lines at large airports
Thanks to a discussion in a LiveATC.net's forum, I was unaware that there
were actually different categories of ILS hold short lines. What is puzzling to me is that there are examples of the CAT III hold short lines being closer to the runway served by the CAT III approach than the CAT I hold short line is to the runway served by the CAT I approach. At least at first glance, this seems backwards. For example, in looking at the San Francisco airport diagram, he http://www.myairplane.com/databases/...fs/00375AD.PDF I realize that the CAT III approach only serves RWY 28 R at KSFO, but it still appears that the CAT III lines are closer to the runway. Could this be because the CAT III ILS transmitter is located between the two parallel runways, whereas the ILS tower serving the CAT I ILS to RWY 28 L is on the left side of RWY 28 L? -- Peter |
