LVOs Flashcards
How many approaches can you make into an aerodrome?
No more than two successive approaches except in an emergency or a significant change in reported weather
When must the captain perform the take off in LVOs?
If the RVR is less than 400 m
What is the criteria for a CAT II autoland?
Visual reference of three consecutive lights:
- centre line approach lights
- touchdown zone lights
- runway centreline lights
- runway edge lights
Visual reference should include a lateral element of the ground pattern
What is the visual reference criteria for a CAT IIIA autoland?
Visual reference of three consecutive lights including:
- centreline of the approach lights
- touchdown zone lights
- runway centreline lights
- runway edge lights
It does not require a lateral element
What is the definition of cloud ceiling?
The height of the base of the cloud which is sufficient to obscure more than half of the sky
What is the definition of decision height?
The wheel height above the runway elevation by which a G/A must be initiated unless visual reference
What is a fail passive automatic landing system?
In the event of a failure it disengages without any significant deviated in trim, flight path or attitude and the landing is completed manually or a manual go-around is executed
What is a fail operational automatic landing system?
In the event of a failure the approach, flare and landing can be completed automatically
What is the ILS critical area?
an area where vehicles including aircraft are prohibited during ILS ops because it will cause disturbance of the ILS signal
What is the ILS sensitive area?
An area extending beyond the critical area where parking and movememnt are controlled to prevent the possibility of interference with the ILS
When will LVPs be in force at an aerodrome?
Procedures must be implemented by the time the cloud ceiling is 200 ft or less and the RVR has reduced to 800 m or less
Standard runway lighting?
900 m from end of runway - alternating red and white
300 m from end of runway - solid red
When will you know the aircraft is completely clear of the runway during LVOs?
The taxiway lights will change from alternating green and amber to solid green
What is the definition of an approach ban?
If the RVR or vis is less than applicable minimum the approach should not continue:
- below 1000 ft AAL
- into the final app segment in the case where the DA/H or MDA/H is more than 1000 ft AAL
What are CAT I minimums?
RVR not less than 550 m
DH not lower than 200 ft (baro)
What are CAT II minimums?
RVR not less than 300 m
DH below 200 ft but not less than 100 ft (radio)
What are CAT IIIA and CAT IIIB minimums?
3A:
RVR not less than 200 m and DH not lower than 100 ft (radio)
3B:
RVR lower than 200m but not less than 75m and DH lower than 100 ft or no DH
Which RVR is controlling?
The touchdown zone RVR is always controlling
For take off, if the TDZ tranmissometer is inop, TDZ RVR can be replaced by pilot assessment
What is the alert height?
The approach must be discontinued if there is a failure, the RVR is below reversionary minima or the required visual reference is not established
What is required for a low viz TO with RVR below 150m but not less than 125m?
- Crew is trained in accordance with Jet2 LVO reuirements
- High intensity rwy centre line lights spaced 15m or less apart and high intensity edge lights spaced 60m or less apart
- 90 m visual segment available from FD
- Required RVR value is achieved for all RVR reporting points
Which RVR reports are required for TO with RVR less than 200m?
All three runway thirds
Approach requirements for a CAT IIIA landing?
- for a fail-operational system with a DH the pilot must be able to see one centreline light
- for a fail-operational hybrid landing system with a DH, pilot must have a visual reference of at least three consecutive lights of the rwy centreline lights
Approach requirements for a CAT IIIB landing?
No visual reference is required for a CAT IIIB with no DH
What is a fail operational hybrid landing system?
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
