II. LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES

1. INTRODUCTION:

The Low Visibility Procedure (LVP) incorporates safeguarding measures to mitigate runway incursions and defines

operational restrictions to ensure safe aircraft operations taking into account the available Aerodrome facilities. This LVP is

applicable only for take- off operations at Calicut Airport during conditions of Visibility/ RVR less than 800M/550M but not

less than 350M. (LVP procedures shall not be applied at Calicut airport if RVR is less than 350m). These procedures are

required for compliance with DGCA Civil Aviation Requirements Series C Part I Section 8 Para 5.3.

2. DEFINITIONS & ABBREVIATIONS

2.1 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:

i) a ground-based radio navigation aid; or

ii) computer-generated navigation data from ground-based, space-based, self-contained 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 75m(250ft); and

b) Type B: a decision height below 75 m (250 ft). Type B instrument approach operations are categorized as:

i) 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 550m;

ii) 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;

iii) Category III (CAT III): a decision height lower than 30 m (100 ft) or no decision height and a runway visual range

less than 300 m or no runway visual range limitations.

2.2 Decision Altitude/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.

2.3 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.

2.4 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.

2.5 Low Visibility Procedures: Specific procedures applied at an aerodrome for the purpose of ensuring safe operations

during Categories II/ III approaches and/or low visibility take-offs.

2.6 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.

2.7 Maneuvering Area: That part of an aerodrome to be used for the take-off, landing and taxiing of aircraft,

excluding aprons.

2.8 Movement Area: That part of an aerodrome to be used for the take-off, landing and taxiing of aircraft, consisting of

the maneuvering area and the apron(s).

2.9 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.

2.10 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 center line.

2.11 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 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

8.8 PILOTS

a) Pilot in command shall not initiate Take off below 800m visibility / 550m RVR unless the LVP are enforced.

b) The pilot shall ensure that the aircraft is suitably equipped for the operation during LVP meeting the minimum

requirements including MEL as specified in the DGCA CAR.

c) If any time the reported visibility is below 800m, then RVR criteria shall be applicable for aerodrome operating minima.

The RVR may be derived from an automated RVR system/manual observation of RVR.

d) If RVR is obtained manually, ATC shall inform the Pilot that the observation is manual. PIC may make his own

assessment of the RVR before departure to ensure that it is above 350M as update of Manual RVR may take time.

e) The airline operator/ pilot in command shall ensure that the flying crew shall be meeting the training requirement

specified by the regulator for the operation during LVP. The training criteria for the pilot has been specified in DGCA

CAR section 8C part 1 - All weather Since Calicut airport allows only departures during LVP, no cloud base minima is

not considered for the implementation of LVP. Airline/ pilot in command has to follow their own minima based on cloud

base if applicable.

f) For all departures during LVP, the pilot shall ensure that suitable alternate aerodrome/aerodromes are filed in their

operational flight plan (Refer para 14.2 DGCA CAR- manual on of weather operations). Take off alternate shall be

selected and specified in the OFP as per the criteria specified in para 14.2 (a) of DGCA CAR 8C part-1 (all weather

operations).

authorities if the take-off is conducted below RVR 400M.

9. CONTINGENCY PROCEDURES

Degradation of RVR System

a) If automated RVR system is unserviceable, manual observation of RVR may be taken by MET department (IMD) if it is

feasible, ATC may allow this and apron control shall make necessary arrangements for manual observation of RVR. If

the manual RVR reported is 350m, the ATC may permit the departures.

b) The ATC while giving Manual RVR shall inform the pilot that the observation is manual. The time of observation shall

also to be informed to the pilots.

Note: The requirement of Mid RVR / Roll out RVR is not required as the Take-off is not allowed below 350m RVR at

Calicut.

10. SUSPENSION/ TERMINATION OF LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES

a) When Visibility/RVR improves to 800M/550 M and trend is for further improvement; Tower Supervisor/Duty Officer

Tower would terminate operations of LVP. He must obtain advice from Duty Officer, Meteorological Office regarding

improvement in weather conditions before the termination of LVP. However, the runway safe guarding procedures will

be continued till the visibility improve to 1200m or more.

b) When the RVR falls below 350 meters the LVP will be suspended by Tower Supervisor/Duty Officer, Tower and no

aircraft departures are allowed. However, runway safe guarding procedure will continue to be in force if the trend forecast

indicates that the RVR is likely to be improved to 350 meters or above within a reasonable time.

c) The Aircraft Departures during LVP will be suspended by ATC in the following circumstances also.

i) If the automated RVR system becomes unserviceable.

ii) If the facilities essential for the implementation of LVP becomes unserviceable (Ref. Para5& 5.1)

iii) If the runway lighting system failed to meet the minimum switch over time as specified in this SOP.

iv) Failure/ non-availability of secondary power supply.
