411A..... You have to wake up a bit. There is dozens of airport in which you cannot get in IFR ( using an ifr approach in) without prior training and/Authorization; regardless being Private, Public Transport, Fractional or Astronaut.
Some of these are in Europe (Innsbruck, Sion, Lugano, London City, etc..) but others in the US of A, like Bishop,CA for RWY 30 or RNAV Y in Palm Springs, CA on 31L or JFK on 13L (RNAV rnp as well); actually you have over 50 airports as such in the states. Even Bhutan has a cat C airport.
So sorry to wake you up; but you will soon see things coming in america, that will make you read english again. ( have a look at the NPRMs).
Good thing for you , you dumped SA and FC for METAR and TAF...the rest is following, no worries ;-)
Categorizing an airport is an ICAO request, and as such is enforced with more or less efficiency, depending of the country.

thank you gentlemen...
....for the good discussion. there were some good inputs and thoughts so far!
I have tried do download the ICAO annex 6 part 2 from the web, but so far no result, as ICAO does not share their docs without money ( being on tour here and there - no chance to get it now...) any advices?
I am still looking for some answers: what is legal on private ops, what is illegal?
all regs I have found, just concern commercial ops so far.
e.g: on departure: single eng. climb gradients or not?
flying approach CAT C with a CAT D aircraft? possible? or not?
donīt get my posting wrong, please: I fly in a very safety orieted environment, but once the box is opened, I want to know things more precise.
best regards
