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
What is the definition of category 3 A operation (CAT lllA) including numbers?
DH lower than 100ft
RVR not less than 200m
What is the definition of Category 3 B operation (CATlllB) including numbers?
DH lower than 100ft or noDH
RVR lower than 200m but not less than 75m
What is the definition of ceiling?
Height above ground of the base of the lowest layer of cloud below 20000ft covering more than half of the sky
What is the definition of cloud base?
Height of the base of the lowest observed or forecast cloud element in the vicinity of an aerodrome (reported as FEW or SCT)
Who is the competent authority for the UK AOC?
UK CAA
What is the definition of Contaminated Runway?
A runway is contaminated when a significant portion of its surface is covered with:
A layer of fluid contaminant not considered as thin
A hard contaminant
A significant portion of the runway surface area is more than 25% of one third of the runway surface area within the required length and width being used
