Nitpicking here, 91.175(c)(3) does not mention the "rabbit" aka RAIL
or Sequenced Flashers as an acceptable visual reference. You can descend to 100' using the *approach lights* as a reference... 91.175(c) was changed to make "the runway environment" explicit. RAILs or SFs are not on the list. I disagree, 91.175 (c)(3)(i) says "the approach light system" which certainly includes the sequenced flashers - see the AIM 2-1-1 which states "Some systems include sequenced flashing lights". One important point that people often miss is that in addition to seeing the lights, the pilot must have the required flight visibility in order to continue the descent below DH. Since 100 feet above TDZE on glideslope is only about 1000 feet from the threshold, if you can't see the runway well before then, you probably don't have landing minimums, and are not authorized to go below DH. |
