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.
