  • Must be a domestic CAT I PA, APV, or NPA, with straight-in minimums.
  • Determine the derived visibility value from the EFVS Operational Credit Table
  • Fly the Appch using EFVS to 100’ above TDZE.
  • Down to 100’ above TDZE, enhanced flight visibility must meet or exceed the charted visibility value.
  • Below 100’ TDZE, flight visibility must also be sufficient to see the required items using natural vision.
