This question has been bugging me for a while and I have never been able to get a decent answer to it. Hopefully you guys can help me.
Why are PAR minimums lower than ILS minimums?
ILSs always seem like better approaches. I have all of the information myself. Actual aircraft heading and course deviation. On a PAR, the controller is limited to deviation and assigned heading.
Is there a logical reason that PAR minimums are lower or is it just the way it is?
