IFR Minima UK

Look up UK AIP approach minima — DA, MDA, RVR and circling values — with the Part-NCO calculation steps shown in full. For study and reference only.

IFR Minima UK is a reference and study tool for instrument-rated pilots. It bundles approach plates from the UK Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) and derives the Part-NCO minima — DA, MDA, RVR and circling values — with every step of the calculation shown.

FOR INFORMATION ONLY This app is NOT a flight-planning tool. The bundled AIP data may lag the current AIRAC cycle; any updates arrive only with new app releases. There is no NOTAM overlay. Always verify minima against the current UK AIP, your approved operations manual, and NOTAMs before every flight. A disclaimer is shown on every launch that you must acknowledge before the app is usable.

WHAT'S INSIDE • Airfields from the UK AIP (AD 2) with their full instrument approach lists. • Per-approach DA / MDA / RVR derived from published OCA/OCH against UK CAA Part-NCO system minima (Table 1) and the RVR/CMV lookup (Table 2). • RNP APCH multi-line support: LPV-200, LPV, LNAV/VNAV, LP, LNAV. • Equipment-availability variants on selected NDB/VOR approaches (with or without DME, with a specified DME station, etc.). • Circling minima with the Cat A MDH floor (400 ft / 1500 m) applied per AMC1 NCO.OP.110. • Straight-in CDFA vs dive-and-drive variants with the +200 m RVR penalty surfaced explicitly. • A read-only view of the AIP approach plate, bundled as PDF. • Built-in reference tables for Part-NCO system minima, RVR/visibility (Table 2), and the Cat A circling floor — tap the table icon next to any calculation step to see the source. • Favourite airfields float to the top of the list. • Single-pilot and coupled-autopilot flags affect the RVR lookup per Part-NCO.

WHAT IT IS NOT • Not a flight-planning tool. • Not an electronic flight bag. • Not a NOTAM source. • Not AIRAC-synced. The bundled data may lag the current cycle; updates arrive only with new app releases. • Not a replacement for operator ops manuals, training, or authoritative publications.

BUILT FOR • Instrument-rating students comparing approaches across the UK. • Private pilots refreshing Part-NCO minima theory. • Anyone who wants to see how a published OCA becomes a DA, step by step, with the reference tables one tap away.
