LVO Flashcards
USA - CAT I Minima
200 feet DH
1800 feet RVR (550 meters)
USA - LVTO minima
500ft/500ft/500ft
150m/150m/150m
USA - For operations at or above RVR 1600ft (500m):
- TDZ RVR, if available, is controlling
- If TDZ unavailable, MID may be used
USA - CAT II MINIMA
100ft <= DH < 200ft
1200ft (350m) <= RVR < 2400ft (800m)
USA - CAT III B minima
NO DH or DH < 50ft
150ft (50m) <= RVR < 700ft (200m)
USA - CAT III A minima
No DH or DH < 100ft (50ft is Fail Passive)
700ft (200m) <= RVR
CAT II visual references
- 3 consecutive lights (centreline, edge, approach…)
- 1 lateral element (crossbar, landing threshold..)
CAT III A visual references
- 3 consecutive lights (centreline, touchdown zone, approach, runway edge…)
CAT III B NO DH visual references
No visual references required
CAT III B with DH visual references
- 1 centreline light is attained and can be maintained
EASA CAT I minima
DH >= 200ft
RVR >= 550m (VIS >= 800m)
EASA CAT II minima
100ft <= DH < 200ft
RVR > 300m
EASA CAT III A minima

RVR > 200m
EASA CAT III B minima
NO DH < DH < 100ft
75m <= RVR < 200m
To perform CAT III operations a _______ system is mandatory
automatic landing
ALERT HEIGHT - Below AH, the approach will be continued, EXCEPT IF…
the AUTOLAND warning/light is triggered
The ALERT HEIGHT for A320/A312 is
100ft
CAT II - Which RVR measurements are mandatory?
TDZ
CAT III - Which RVR measurements are mandatory?
TDZ and MID (for CAT III NO DH, only one measuring point is required)
