8. Runway Turn Pads, capable of handling B777-300 ER type of aircraft, provided at both ends of Runway for SpecialOperations with prior permission.LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES1. BACKGROUND1.1 Until the latest amendment dated 28.10.2022 of DGCA Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) section 8, Series ‘C’, Part-I on All-Weather Operations, Low visibility procedures were required at aerodromes for the purpose of ensuring safe operations during Categories II and III approaches and/or low visibility take-offs (LVTO).1.2 However, in latest amendment to CAR (issue Oct 2022), 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 I conditions of 550m RVR/800 m visibility unless low visibility procedures are enforced”.1.3 This provision necessitated the need for 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.1.4 As per provisions of Aerodrome Design and Operations CAR section 8, Series ‘C’, Part-I on All-Weather Operations and ICAO DOC 9365 take-off can be permitted until RVR not less than 400M. Further, as per Aerodrome Design and operations CAR para9.8.7, Surface Movement Radar (SMR) need to be provided at an aerodrome intended for use in Runway Visual Range conditions less than a value of 350M. 1.5 Accordingly, Low visibility Procedures have been developed for Devi Ahilya BaiHolkar Airport, Indore to accommodate/permit departures in Visibility/RVR less than 800M/550M. As Indore Airport has Runway edge lights and Runway center line markings whereas Runway Centre line Lights and SMR are not available at Indore Airport, these procedures will be applicable for take-off from RWY 07 in VIS/RVR below 800M/550M but not less than 400M RVR.2. DEFINITIONS2.1 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.2.2 Manoeuvring Area: That part of an aerodrome to be used for the take-off, landing and taxiing of aircraft, excluding aprons.2.3 Runway Visual Range: The range over which the pilot of an aircraft on the centreline of a runway can see the runway surface markings or the lights delineating the runway or identifying its centreline.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; andc) 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.2.5 Visibility: Visibility for aeronautical purposes is the greater ofa) 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 the 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.3.

GENERAL4.1 The Low Visibility Procedure (LVP) incorporates safeguarding measures to mitigate runway incursions and defines operational restrictions to ensure safe Airside Operations considering the available Aerodrome facilities.5. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS5.1 The following Aeronautical Ground lights and RVR equipment shall be serviceable tothe 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.Note: * Real time TDZ RVR is available only for RWY07, hence LVP is applicable for RWY075.2 RVR/Visibility for Take-off (Commercial Transport Aeroplanes) is as per Table 4, below: |

Table 4 (RVR/Visibility for Take-off (Commercial Transport Aero planes)Note-1: The TDZ RVR/VIS may be assessed by the pilot subject to Pilot fulfilling conditions set out in para 14, 15 & 16 ofDGCA CAR Section 8 Series C Part -I Annexure- 2.Note-1a: Pilot assessment of TDZ RVR is to be made only when the MID & ROLL OUT zone RVR are reported, and boththese are not less than 200 m. (DGCA CAR Section 8 Series C Part -I Annexure 2 Para 17).Note1b: An operator shall not conduct take-off with RVR/visibility less than standard Category I conditions of 550m RVR/800 m visibility unless low visibility procedures are enforced. (DGCA CAR Section 8 Series C, Part -I Para 5.3).Note1c: Below 200 m all three RVR are required. The governing RVR shall be the lowest of the reported RVRs. (DGCA CARSection 8 Series C Part -I Table 10: RVR/Visibility for take-off).Note-2: Adequate Visual Reference means, that a pilot is able to continuously identify the take-off surface and maintaindirectional control.Note-3: For night operations at least, Runway edge lights or centre line lights and Runway end lights are availableNote-4: The required RVR must be achieved for all relevant RVR reporting points (touchdown, mid-point and stop-end/rollout). The governing RVR shall be the lowest of the reported RVRs.Note-5: An operator shall not conduct low visibility take-offs in less than 400m RVR unless approved by DGCA.Note-6: An operator shall not conduct take-off with visibility / RVR less than Category-I conditions unless low visibilityprocedures are enforced.5.3 Unserviceability of Aeronautical Ground Lights/ Equipment before Implementation of Low Visibility Procedures will notbe implemented when any of the light/equipment mentioned in para 4 above is un-serviceable or is not maintained as per therequired standard. |
