FLIGHT PROCEDURES

LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES

1. DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS:

 

1.1 Instrument Approach Operations. An approach and landing using instruments for

navigation guidance based on an instrument approach procedure. There are two

methods for executing instrument approach operations:

 

a) a two-dimensional (2D) instrument approach operation, using lateral navigation guidance only; and

b) a three-dimensional (3D) instrument approach operation, using both lateral and vertical navigation guidance.

 

Note. -- Lateral and vertical navigation guidance refers to the guidance provided either by:

a) a ground-based radio navigation aid; or

b) computer-generated navigation data from ground-based, space-based, selfcontained navigation aids or a combination of these.

 

Instrument approach operations shall be classified based on the designed lowest operating minima below which an approach operation shall only be continued with the required visual reference as follows:

a) Type A: a minimum descent height or decision height at or above 75 m (250 ft); and

b) Type B: a decision height below 75 m (250 ft).

 

Type B instrument approach operations are categorized as:

 

1) Category I (CAT I): a decision height not lower than 60 m (200 ft) and with either a visibility not less than 800 m or a runway visual range not less than 550 m;

2) Category II (CAT II): a decision height lower than 60 m (200 ft), but not lower than 30 m (100 ft) and a runway visual range not less than 300 m;

3) Category IIIA (CAT IIIA): a decision height lower than 30 m (100 ft) or no decision height and a runway visual range not less than 175 m;

4) Category IIIB (CAT IIIB): a decision height lower than 15 m (50 ft), or no decision height and a runway visual range less than 175 m but not less than 50 m; and

5) Category IIIC (CAT IIIC): no decision height and no runway visual range limitations

Note 1. -- Where decision height (DH) and runway visual range (RVR) fall into different categories of operation, the instrument approach operation would be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the most demanding category (e.g. an operation with a DH in the range of CAT IIIA but with an RVR in the range of CAT IIIB would be considered a CAT IIIB operation or an operation with a DH in the range of CAT II but with an RVR in the range of CAT I would be considered a CAT II operation).
 
Note 2. -- The required visual reference means that section of the visual aids or of the approach area which should have been in view for sufficient time for the pilot to have made an assessment of the aircraft position and rate of change of position, in relation to the desired flight path. In the case of a circling approach operation the required visual reference is the runway environment.
 
Note 3. -- Guidance on approach classification as it relates to instrument approach operations, procedures, runways and navigation systems is contained in the All Weather Operations Manual (Doc 9365).
 
1.2 Decision Height: A specified altitude or height in a 3D instrument approach operation at which a missed approach must be initiated if the required visual reference to continue the approach has not been established.
Note. -- Decision altitude (DA) is referenced to mean sea level and decision height (DH) is referenced to the threshold elevation.
 
1.3 ILS Critical Area: An area of defined dimensions about the localizer and glide path antennas where aircraft and vehicles are excluded during all ILS operations. The critical area is protected because the presence of vehicles / or aircraft inside its boundaries will cause unacceptable disturbance to the ILS signal-in-space.
 
1.4 ILS Sensitive Area: An area extending beyond the ILS critical area where the parking and/or movement of vehicles, including aircraft, are controlled to prevent the possibility of unacceptable interference to the ILS signal during ILS operations. The sensitive area is protected to provide protection against interferences cause by large moving objects
outside the critical area but still normally within the airfield boundary.
 
1.5 Low Visibility Procedures: 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.
 
1.6 Low Visibility Take-Off (LVTO): A term used in relation to flight operations referring to a take-off on a runway where the RVR is less than 400m.
 
1.7 Obstacle Free Zone: The airspace above the inner approach surface, inner transitional surface and balked landing surface and that portion of the strip bounded by these surfaces, which is not penetrated by any fixed obstacle other than of low mass and frangible mounting, required for air navigation purposes.
 
1.8 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 centerline.
 
1.9 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 SP are complete and airport is configured for Low Visibility Procedures and Low Visibility Take-offs.
 
1.10 Missed approach procedure: -
The procedure to be followed if the approach cannot be continued.
 
1.11 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 2 D 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.
 
1.12 Touchdown Zone- The portion of a runway, beyond the threshold, where it is intended landing aeroplanes first contact the runway.
 
 
1.13 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.

actions along with any significant information related to implementation of LVP.
 
3.3 LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES
 
3.3.1 CRITERIA FOR IMPLEMENTING LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES (LVP):
 
Low Visibility Procedures shall be implemented by Duty Officer (Tower) when:
 
a) Either the TDZ or MID RVR or END RVR is less than 800M or
b) Cloud ceiling is less than 200 feet; and
c) SP has been completed and the airport is safeguarded.
 
3.4 IMPLEMENTATION OF LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES: -
 
3.4.1 Duty officer (Tower) shall implement Low Visibility Procedures when either TDZ RVR, MID RVR or END RVR is
less than 800M and/or the cloud ceiling is less than 200 feet. Before implementing LVP, Duty officer (Tower) shall
ensure that all safeguarding procedures are completed.
He shall inform the following about implementation of LVP: -
 
a) Duty Officer (Equipment Room)
b) Shift in Charge Power House and to confirm that generator is “ON” and Switch over time of 1 second is to be
maintained.
c) Duty MET Officer
d) Fire Station
He will also ensure that, “LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES IN OPERATION” is included in ATIS broadcast.
 
3.5 CANCELLATION OF SAFEGUARDING PROCEDURES AND LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES: -
 
3.5.1 DO (Tower) may terminate LVP when:
 
a) Meteorological conditions improve and TDZ, MID & END RVR are 800M or more and the cloud ceiling is 200 feet o
or higher, and trend is for improvement.
b) Facilities, equipment and services necessary for CAT-II/CAT-IIIA/CAT-IIIB operations are degraded and/or the
prevailing conditions are considered unsafe for such operations.
c) There is no flight movement during the next one hour.
d) Duty officer (ATC) should consult Meteorological Office for forecast before cancelling SP and LVP.
 
3.5.2 When LVP are cancelled DO(Tower) shall ensure to Include in the subsequent two ATIS broadcasts that “LOW
VISIBILITY PROCEDURES ARE CANCELLED” and Inform all the concerned agencies as specified at Para 3.4.1
 
3.5.3 If SP are implemented and LVP are not subsequently initiated and MET conditions improve and the visibility/RVR is
more than1200M and the cloud ceiling is 400 feet or higher and both are likely to remain above the required SP criteria,
Duty Officer (Tower) may cancel SP.
 
4. AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL PROCEDURES
 
4.1.1 During LVP, the Aerodrome Control and Approach control shall have the following information:
a) Status of ILS
b) Serviceability of visual aids
c) RVR information of TDZ, MID & END.
 
 
 
4.1.2 Following information shall be passed to aircraft on first contact or as soon as possible thereafter:
 
The current TDZ RVR, and
a) For CAT-II operations- if TDZ RVR is below 550M then MID RVR shall also be passed.
b) For CAT-IIIA operations- if TDZ RVR is below 300M then MID & END RVR shall also be passed.
c) For CAT-IIIB operations- if TDZ RVR is below 175M then MID & END RVR shall also be passed.
d) For LVTO- MID RVR and END RVR shall also be passed.
e) The un-serviceability of any essential facility/AGL/component parts of CATII/CAT-IIIA/ CAT-IIIB facilities not
previously broadcast on ATIS as applicable.
f) Any significant change in any of the above information.
 
4.1.3 Departing aircraft-
 
4.1.3.1 To ensure that the departing aircraft passes overhead the localizer before the inbound aircraft reaches 5D (ILS
DME), the departing aircraft must commence take-off run before the arriving aircraft passes 10D (ILS-DME).
 
4.1.3.2 During take-off in CAT II/IIIA/IIIB conditions, The LSA in front of a departing aircraft shall not be infringed from
the time take-off clearance is issued until the aircraft has departed and passed over the localizer aerial.
 
4.1.4 Arriving aircraft-
 
4.1.4.1 Adequate spacing must be ensured between the successive arriving aircraft so that landing clearance may be issued
by at least 5 ILS DME. Special precaution may be exercised to take account of time taken for vacating runway as
aircraft will be backtracking for vacation via TWY "E" or TWY “F” after landing.
4.1.4.2 Arriving aircraft shall be issued landing clearance not later than 5D (ILS DME). If landing clearance cannot be
issued when the aircraft is 5D (ILS DME), it shall be instructed to carry out a missed approach.
4.1.4.3 Approach Control shall ensure that second arrival is cleared for CAT-II/ CAT-IIIA/CAT-IIIB ILS approach only after
first aircraft has landed & vacated runway after backtrack or has carried out missed approach.
4.1.4.4 The LSA in front of an arriving aircraft shall not be infringed from the time it is 5D (ILS DME) until it has
completed its landing roll.
4.1.4.5 Arriving aircraft should be given unimpeded taxi route to allow it to clear the localizer sensitive area expeditiously.
4.1.4.6 Landing clearance shall not be issued until:
a) Preceding landing aircraft reports that it has vacated the RWY.
b) Preceding departing aircraft is airborne and has passed over the localizer antenna.
 
4.1.5 ATC shall initiate emergency action if an aircraft is not seen/observed or not in radio contact as expected.
4.1.6 Record of all the actions with time shall be maintained and signed by the officer taking action.
 
4.2 SURFACE MOVEMENT CONTROL PROCEDURES: -
 
4.2.1 Pilots need additional guidance and information when taxiing during periods of reduced visibility. The view from the
cockpit of the aircraft is very limited. Therefore, taxi instructions and essential traffic information should be passed in a
clear and concise manner.
4.2.2 SMC shall monitor the status of taxiway lights and immediately advise the aircraft under its control of any un-
serviceability affecting the LVP taxiways.
4.2.3 Aerodrome Control/SMC should monitor the progress of arriving aircraft as they vacate the runway after landing and
ensure that they do not stop within the limits of LSA, thereby degrading ILS integrity for subsequent landing aircraft.
Aerodrome Control / SMC shall also monitor surface movement of aircraft and essential vehicles on the maneuvering
area.
4.2.4 Pilots shall report RWY vacated when aircraft is clear of the ILS sensitive area. Runway vacation boards have been
provided at a distance of 160M from runway Centerline on TWY “E” or TWY “F”which will be used exclusively for
Runway vacation report after landing.
4.2.5 When RVR is less than 550M, vehicle movement should be restricted. Only operationally essential vehicles duly
authorized by ATC should be permitted to operate. These vehicles shall remain outside the GP/LLZ critical and
sensitive area. Any movement of vehicle on the maneuvering area shall be coordinated with ATC.
4.2.6 Aerodrome Control/SMC shall inform all taxiing aircraft of the preceding taxiing or holding aircraft.
 
4.3 LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURE TAXI ROUTE: -
 
The Low Visibility Taxi Routes are intended to assist the pilots in determining their location on the airport during the
