Bo | Concepts & Definitions November, 2010 | :
GENERAL CONCEPTS & DEFINITIONS
All Weather Operations (AWO) consist of operating an aircraft in low
visibility conditions. The term AWO includes Low Visibility Take-off (LVTO),
lower than standard CAT |, and Lower than Standard CAT |
Category Il (CAT II), Category Ill (CAT Ill) landing and Low Vi
(LV TAXI).
Weather limitations (visibility) applied for AWO are called minima.
For each airport procedure, approved minima are indicated in the
associated jeppesen charts.
. A Take-off or a Landing cannot be executed at minima below which the
aircraft is certified, the crew is rated and the usable runway aids are
certified. The limits of the aircraft are indicated in the OM.
The limit of usable landing aids is the value of the DH/DA for the approach-
“ janding category.
These limits or operating minima must not be less than those imposed by
‘ the country concerned and the Operations Manual according to the type of
flight.
Note: All Company 777s are approved for CAT 118.
LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURE (LVP)
Procedure applied at an aerodrome for the purpose of ensuring safe
operation during Cat Ill, Cat Il, other than standard Cat II, and lower than
standard CAT | approaches and low visibility take-offs
EU OPS-1
EU OPS-1 is used for the new version of AOM (subpart E-appendix 1 to
OPS 1.430 new). The old version of AOM is on jeppesen Chart-still
designated as JAR OPS or JAA MINIMUMS even it is now part of the (EU
OPS 1 as subpart E-Appendix 1 to OPS 1.430 old). On jeppesen approach
and aerodrome charts an inverse printed “STANDARD” label indicates that
“ swihe minimums are established according to the new European standard.
FEN OPS does not include non standard minimums for CAT | or CAT Il
ean eye approaches.
Haltan state minimums are in accordance with JAR-OPS 1 AOM
SY OPS 1 subpart E-appendix 1 to OPS 4.430 old), with following
S€eption; minimum RVR for CAT Il approaches is RVR 360m.ae

LOWER THAN STANDARD CAT I OPERATION, NEW EU OPS
The current minima for a Category | approach are an RVR of not less than
550m and with a decision height (DH) not lower than 200ft.
Lower than Standard Category ! operations retain the DH criteria above but
allow suitably approved aircraft operators to operate down to an RVR not
lower than 400m on runways including those that were previously limited to
Category 1 operations. (The actual minimum RVR limit (specified in Eu-
OPS will depend on the classification of the ILS, the calculated decision
height and the tevel of Aeronautical Ground Lighting (AGL) available.) In
order for approved aircraft operators to take advantage of the reduction in
the RVR limit, the aircraft must have an auto land system or HUDLS
approved for Category Ill operations. Due to requirements as specified in
EU- OPS1, the jeppesen will publish minimums for lower than standard CAT
| operation on operator's request on tailored charts.
OTHER THAN STANDARD CAT-II OPERATION, NEW EU OPS :
Instrument approach and landing operation to a runway where some oD
of the elements of the ICAO Annex 14 CAT-II lighting system are not
available, with a DH below 200 ft but not lower than 100 ft and an RVR of
not less than 350/400M .The jeppesen will publish minimums for other than
standard cat Il operation only if the procedure is approved for their use by
the state of the aerodrome. Other than Standard Category !I operations
tetain the DH criteria above but allow suitably approved aircraft operators to
operate in Category II conditions (down to 350/400m RVR depending on the
category of aircraft) with reduced AGL (Aeronautical Ground Lighting)
requirements. In order for approved aircraft operators to take advantage of
the reduced AGL requirements, the aircraft must have an auto land system
or HUDLS approved for Category Ill operations and the aerodrome must
meet the following conditions.
For aerodromes, the conditions to support Other than Standard Category II
approach operations are very similar to those for Lower than Standard
Category1,However, the ILS will need to meet the higher classification
requirements specified in EU-OPS.
In conclusion, lower than standard CAT | and other than standard CAT Il
approach operation, approved operators will be able to take advantage of
the aircraft auto land or HUDLS technology to help pilot to, mentB-777

reduce lighting requirement for CAT II. To avoid potential confusion, the AIP
should stipulate, if an ILS runway is suitable or not for these operation.
CAT IL
CAT II operation is a precision instrument approach and landing using ILS.
The associated company operating minima for CAT II are given below:
> a RVR of not less than 350 m and
> a Decision Height below 200-t and not lower than 100
CAT Ii weather minima have been established to provide sufficient visual
references at DH to permit a safe landing or a missed approach. CAT Ml
operation requires Auto coupled or Approved HUDLS to below DH- Which
Means continued use of the automatic flight contro! system or the HUDLS
down to a height of 80% of the DH. 350m CAT C/D.
AUTO COUPLED APPROACH.
Generally all approaches below 200’ DH and or RVR less then 550m.
requires auto land or approved HUDLS. The CAT II approaches requires
AUTO COUPLED OR APPROVED HUDLS to below DH, For 777 AIC, If
autopilot is degraded to NO AUTO LAND (ASA), a pilot may continue
approach up to CAT II DH, if adequate visual references (as specified,
visual references at DH page no 8) are establish, disconnect the autopilot
and land manually, otherwise go around. Auto coupled is only applicable to
Standard CAT II /CATI.
HUDLS: head-up guidance landing system
The total airborne system which provides head-up guidance to the pilot, it
includes all sensors, computers, power supplies, indication and controls.
