What is the definition of Alert Height
A specified radio height, based on the characteristics of the aircraft and its fail-operational landing system. In operational use, if a failure occurred above alert height in one of the required redundant operational systems in the aircraft, the approach would be discontinued and a go around executed, unless a reversion to a higher decision height is possible. If a failure in one of the required redundant operational systems occurred below the alert height, it would be ignored and the approach continued
What is the definition of Category 1 approach operation (CAT l), including numbers?
DH not lower than 200ft
RVR not less than 550m
What is the definition of Category 2 operation (CAT ll) including numbers?
DH not lower than 100ft
RVR not less than 300m
