9. LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES :

9.1 BACKGROUND:

Until the latest amendment of DGCA Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) Section 8, Series 'C', Part-1 on All-weather Operations, low visibility procedures were required at aerodromes for the purpose of ensuring safe operations during categories 2 and 3 approaches and/or low visibility take-offs (LVTO). However, in latest amendment to CAR (Rev. 10) Para 5.3 following provision regarding low visibility procedures is added. 'An operator shall not conduct take-off with RVR/visibility less than standard category 1 conditions of 550M RVR/800M visibility unless low visibility procedures are enforced.' This provision necessitated the need of low visibility procedures for accommodating/permitting departures in visibility/RVR less than 800M/550M even at such airports where there are no CAT-II and CAT-III operations. Accordingly, low visibility procedures have been developed for Ahmedabad International Airport to accommodate/permit departures in visibility/RVR less than 800M/550M from RWY 23 (runway served with RVR instruments).

9.2. DEFINITIONS:

9.2.1 Low Visibility Procedures (LVP): Specific procedures applied at an aerodrome for the purpose of ensuring safe operations during Categories II and III approaches and/or low visibility take-offs.

Note: as per para 5.3 of CAR on All Weather Operations, an operator shall not conduct Take-off with RVR/Visibility less than standard CAT-I conditions of 550m RVR/800m Visibility unless low visibility procedures are enforced.

9.2.2 Manoeuvring Area: That part of an aerodrome to be used for the take-off, landing and taxiing of aircraft, excluding aprons.

9.2.3 Runway Visual Range: The range over which the pilot of an aircraft on the centerline of a runway can see the runway surface markings or the lights delineating the runway or identifying its centreline.

9.2.4 Aerodrome Operating Minima: The limits of usability of an aerodrome for:

a. take off, expressed in terms of runway visual range and / or visibility and, if necessary, cloud conditions.

b. landing in 2D instrument approach operations, expressed in terms of visibility and/or runway visual range; minimum descent altitude/height (MDA/H) and, if necessary, cloud conditions; and

c. landing in 3D instrument approach operations, expressed in terms of visibility and/or runway visual range and decision altitude/height(DA/H) appropriate to the type and/or category of the operation.

9.2.5 Visibility: Visibility for aeronautical purposes is the greater of: a. The greatest distance at which a black object of suitable dimensions, situated near the ground, can be seen and recognized when observed against a bright

background;

b. The greatest distance at which lights in the vicinity of 1,000 candelas can be seen and identified against an unlit background.

Note 1. -- The two distances have different values in air of a given extinction coefficient, and the latter b) varies with the background illumination. The former a) is represented by the meteorological optical range (MOR).

Note 2. -- The definition applies to the observations of visibility in local routine and special reports, to the observations of prevailing and minimum visibility reported in METAR and SPECI and to the observations of ground visibility.

9.3. GENERAL:

The Low Visibility Procedure (LVP) incorporates safeguarding measures to mitigate runway incursions and defines operational restrictions to ensure safe Airside Operations taking into account the available Aerodrome facilities.

9.4. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

The following Aeronautical Ground lights and RVR equipment shall be serviceable to the required standard to support Low Visibility Procedures:

a. Runway edge lights,

b. Runway end lights,

c. Real time TDZ RVR.

d. Stand by Power supply to maintain switch over time of 1 Second for Runway

Edge Lights and Runway End Lights. This requirement can be met with the help of DG Set and/or UPS.

9.4.1 Unserviceability of Aeronautical Ground Lights/ Equipment before Implementation of LVP.

Low Visibility Procedures will not be implemented when any of the light/equipment mentioned in para 4 above is un-serviceable or is not maintained as per the required standard.

Aeronautical Ground Lighting Facility	Un-serviceability	Restrictions
Runway Edge lights	More than 15% of all lights are unserviceable	LVP operations will be suspended.
Runway Edge lights	Any two consecutive lights or more are unserviceable	LVP operations will be suspended.
Runway End lights	More than 15% of all lights are unserviceable	LVP operations will be suspended.
Runway End lights	Any two consecutive lights or more are unserviceable	LVP operations will be suspended.
Standby Generators/UPS	Any of the generator/UPS is unserviceable	LVP operations will be suspended.

9.4.2 Unserviceability of Aeronautical Ground Lights/ Equipment after Implementation of LVP.

When any of the light/equipment mentioned in para 4 above becomes un-serviceable or fails to meet the required standard during periods of LVP, TWR/SMC shall advise the aircraft accordingly and LVP shall be suspended and information to this effect shall be included in ATIS broadcast.

9.5. SAFEGUARDING PROCEDURES:

Safeguarding Procedures (SP) are instructions for relevant airport, departments and airside operators to prepare ground services and facilities for low visibility operations in order that when LVP are implemented all safeguarding procedures are complete. Duty Officer Tower/Tower Supervisor will initiate and co-coordinate with all the concerned agencies for completion of safeguarding procedures before implementation of Low Visibility Procedures.

9.5.1 Safeguarding Procedures shall be initiated when:

a. The Visibility/RVR is less than 1200m and visibility/RVR is forecast to deteriorate to 800m or less; and/or

b. The cloud ceiling is less than 400ft and forecast to fall to 200ft or less.

9.5.2 Safeguarding procedures include:

a. Positioning of 1 CFT each at the two predetermined positions at Glide path RWY 23 and at fire approach road near TWY Delta.

b. Stopping of all maintenance works on the manoeuvring area as well as removal of all men and mobile equipment from the said area.

c. Ensuring availability of secondary power supply for change over time of maximum one second for RWY Edge and RWY End lights supported by UPS.

(NOTE: RWY Edge and Rwy End lights may continue to operate on main power supply during safeguarding Procedures. Whenever, LVP is to be implemented as per para 6 below, the RWY Edge and RWY End lights shall be put on Standby Power Supply (DG set or UPS). This operation need to be completed before LVP is implemented.

(As UPS is available at Ahmedabad International Airport and is capable of maintaining the required AGL system (refer table under para 4.1) with one second of Switch Over time with Main Supply, the main supply can continue to be primary supply and the Generator Supply can be kept as Standby Power supply. In case of UPS is unserviceable, Generator supply will become primary source of power supply and Main power supply shall act as standby power supply.)

d. The appropriate Aeronautical ground lights must have been inspected during the hour preceding implementation of LVP, and thereafter once every two-hour period. These lighting inspections should be accorded priority and, if necessary, aircraft operations may be delayed.

9.6. LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES:

9.6.1 Implementation of Low Visibility Procedures:

SMC shall inform Duty Officer Tower controller whenever Visibility/RVR reduces to 800 Meters or below and/ or cloud ceiling is at 200 ft or below. Tower supervisor shall coordinate with all the agencies to confirm whether the Safeguarding procedures have been completed or not. When Visibility/RVR falls below 800m/550M and or Cloud Ceiling is 200 ft or below and safeguarding procedures are complete, Tower supervisor will implement Low Visibility Procedures. Duty Officer Tower shall inform all users of the imposition of low visibility procedures.

9.6.2 Action by various units during LVP:

i. In-Charge Electrical shall continuously monitor the main and Standby Power supply to ensure change over time of maximum one second for RWY Edge and RWY End lights during low visibility operations and report any unserviceability to Tower immediately

9.7. TERMINATION OF LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES:

a. When Visibility/RVR improves to 800M/550 M or more and cloud ceiling is 200 feet or higher and trend is for improvement, Tower Supervisor/Duty Officer Tower would terminate operations of LVP. He may obtain advice from Duty

Met. Officer regarding improvement in weather conditions before the termination of LVP.
