EU OPS Subpart E - AII Weather Operations

Appendix 1 (New) to OPS 1.430

Aerodrome Operating Minima
HighIights
Minima according Appendix 1 (New) is introduced in combination with the introduction of Navtech
aerochart, and is indicated with the symbol . JAR OPS (EU OPS Appendix 1 OId)
will be presented on a separate page (page 52-1, 52-2 etc.).
Minima values based on Stabilised Approach (SAp) and Continuous Descent Final Approach (CDFA)
techniques.
When not applying the CDFA technique, published RVR value has to be increased with
200m for CAT A/B aircraft and 400m for CAT C/D aircraft.
Procedures marked with symbol will have the 200m / 400m add-on in the published value
(no further increase necessary).
LS CAT procedure with a published RVR value lower than 750m to runways without RCLL and
RTZL requires an approved HUDLS or AP or FD. Otherwise lowest permissable RVR value is 750m.
Conditions are given in the chart with a note: [ HUDLS, FD or AP req, if not, RVR=750m].
The minima (LS CAT Lower Than Standard) requires:
- LVP in force
- Autoland or HUDLS
- Aerodrome LS certifed to: Class /T/1 for RVR down to 450m or
Class /D/2 + RCLL or RTZL for RVR down to 400m
The minima (LS CAT Other Than Standard) requires:
- LVP in force
- Autoland or HUDLS
- Aerodrome LS certifed to: Class /T/1 for RVR down to 450m or
Class /D/2 + RCLL for RVR down to 350m
Minimas for LS /76 and CAT 276 are only shown when airport facilities (approach lights and LS
classifcation) are offcially prescribed (in AP or other offcial source).

Terms used in EU OPS Subpart E
CircIing. The visual phase of an instrument approach to bring an aircraft into position for landing on a runway which is not
suitably located for a straight-in approach.
Low VisibiIity Procedures (LVP). Procedures applied at an aerodrome for the purpose of ensuring safe operations during
Lower than Standard Category , Other than Standard Category , Category and approaches and Low Visibility Take-
Offs.
Low VisibiIity Take-Off (LVTO). A take-off where the Runway Visual Range (RVR) is less than 400m.
FIight controI system. A system which includes an automatic landing system and/or a hybrid landing system.
FaiI-Passive ight controI system. A fight control system is fail-passive if, in the event of a failure, there is no signifcant
out-of-trim condition or deviation of fight path or attitude but the landing is not completed automatically. For a fail-passive
automatic fight control system the pilot assumes control of the aeroplane after a failure.
FaiI-OperationaI ight controI system. A fight control system is fail-operational if, in the event of a failure below alert
height, the approach, fare and landing, can be completed automatically. n the event of a failure, the automatic landing
system will operate as a fail-passive system.
FaiI-operationaI hybrid Ianding system. A system which consists of a primary fail-passive automatic landing system and
a secondary independent guidance system enabling the pilot to complete a landing manually after failure of the primary
system.
VisuaI approach. An approach when either part or all of an instrument approach procedure is not completed and the ap-
proach is executed with visual reference to the terrain.
Continuous Descent FinaI Approach (CDFA). A specifc technique for fying the fnal-approach segment of a non-preci-
sion instrument approach procedure as a continuous descent, without level-off, from an altitude/height at or above the Final
Approach Fix altitude/height to a point approximately 15m (50ft) above the landing runway threshold or the point where the
fare manoeuvre should begin for the type of aeroplane fown.
StabiIised Approach (SAp). An approach which is fown in a controlled and appropriate manner in terms of confguration,
energy and control of the fight path from a pre-determined point or altitude/height down to a point 50 feet above the thresh-
old or the point where the fare manoeuvre is initiated if higher.
Head-Up DispIay (HUD). A display system which presents fight information into the pilot`s forward external feld of view
and which does not signifcantly restrict the external view.
Head-Up Guidance Landing System (HUDLS). The total airborne system which provides head-up guidance to the pilot
during the approach and landing and/or go-around. t includes all sensors, computers, power supplies, indications and
controls. A HUDLS is typically used for primary approach guidance to decision heights of 50ft.
Hybrid Head-Up DispIay Landing System (Hybrid HUDLS). A system which consists of a primary fail-passive automatic
landing system and a secondary independent HUD/HUDLS enabling the pilot to complete a landing manually after failure of
the primary system.

Note:Typically, the secondary independent HUD/HUDLS provides guidance which normally takes
the form of command information, but it may alternatively be situation (or deviation) information.
Enhanced Vision System (EVS). An electronic means of displaying a real-time image of the external scene through the
use of imaging sensors.
Converted MeteoroIogicaI VisibiIity (CMV). A value (equivalent to an RVR) which is derived from the reported meteoro-
logical visibility, as converted in accordance with the requirements in this subpart.
Lower than Standard Category I Operation. A Category nstrument Approach and Landing Operation using Category
DH, with an RVR lower than would normally be associated with the applicable DH.
Other than Standard Category II Operation. A Category nstrument Approach and Landing Operation to a runway
where some or all of the elements of the CAO Annex 14 Precision Approach Category lighting system are not available.
GNSS Landing System (GLS). An approach operation using augmented GNSS information to provide guidance to the
aircraft based on its lateral and vertical GNSS position (it uses geometric altitude reference for its fnal approach slope).
Approach Iight abbreviations.
