The RVR/CMV/VIS minimums for NPA, APV and CAT I operations should be determined as
follows:

1. The minimum RVR/CMV should be the highest of the values specified in Table 5 or

Table 6.A but not greater than the maximum values specified in Table 6.A, where appli-
cable.

3. If the approach is flown with a level flight segment at or above MDA/H, 200m should be

added for category A and B aeroplanes and 400m for category C and D aeroplanes to
the minimum RVR/CMV value resulting from the application of Tables 5 and 6.A.

4. An RVR of less than 750m as indicated in Table 5 may be used:

i. for CAT I operations to runways with full approach lighting systems (FALS),

runway touchdown zone lights (RTZL) and runway centerline lights (RCLL);

ii. for CAT I operations to runways without RTZL and RCLL when using an approved

head-up guidance landing system (HUDLS), or equivalent approved system, or

AERODROME OPERATING MINIMA - EASA AIR OPERATIONS

a. The commander or the pilot to whom conduct of the flight has been delegated may com-

mence an instrument approach regardless of the reported RVR/VIS.

b. If the reported RVR/VIS is less than the applicable minimum the approach shall not be con-

tinued:

1. below 1000ft above the aerodrome; or
2. into the final approach segment in the case where DA/H or MDA/H is more than 1000ft

above the aerodrome.

c. Where the RVR is not available, RVR values may be derived by converting the reported visi-

bility.

d. If, after passing 1000ft above the aerodrome, the reported RVR/VIS falls below the applica-

ble minimum, the approach may be continued to DA/H or MDA/H.

e. The approach may be continued below DA/H or MDA/H and the landing may be completed,

provided that the visual reference adequate for the type of approach operation and for the
intended runway is established at the DA/H or MDA/H and is maintained.

f. The touchdown zone RVR shall always be controlling. If reported and relevant, the midpoint

and stopend RVR shall also be controlling. The minimum RVR value for the midpoint shall
be 125m or the RVR required for the touchdown zone if less, and 75m for the stopend. For
aircraft equipped with a rollout guidance control system, the minimum RVR value for the mid-
point shall be 75m.

Rules

a. In order to qualify for the lowest allowable values of RVR as detailed in Table 6-3, the instru-

ment approach procedure should be flown as 3D approach and landing operation and needs
to meet the following facility requirements and associated conditions:

1. Precision or APV instrument approach procedure with a designated vertical profile

which do not require a rate of descent greater than 1000ft/min, unless other approach
angles are approved by the authority;

2. Non-precision instrument approach procedures flown using the CDFA technique with a

nominal vertical profile which do not require a rate of descent greater than 1000ft/min,
unless other approach angles are approved by the authority, where the facilities are
NDB, NDB DME, VOR, VOR DME, LOC, LOC DME, VDF, SRA or LNAV/VNAV, with a
final approach segment of at least 3NM, which also fulfil the following criteria:

(a) The final approach track is offset by not more than 15 degrees for CAT A & B air-

craft or by not more than 5 degrees for CAT C & D aircraft; and

(b) The FAF or another appropriate fix where descent is initiated is available, or dis-

tance to threshold is available by FMS/RNAV or DME; and

8NM.
NOTE: The limiting approach path angle for CAT A & B would be 4.5 degrees and
3.77 degrees for CAT C & D aircraft.

b. An RVR as low as 550m as indicated in Table 6-3 may be used for:

AERODROME OPERATING MINIMUMS - JEPPESEN

1371

JEPPESEN AERODROME OPERATING MINIMA

1. CAT I operations to runways with FALS, runway touchdown zone lights and runway

centerline lights; or

2. CAT I operations to runways without runway touchdown zone lights and/or runway cen-

terline lights when using an approved HUDLS, or equivalent approved system, or when
conducting a coupled approach or flight-director flown approach to DH.

c. Values in Table 6-3 exceeding 1500m (CAT A & B) or 2400m (CAT C & D) do not have to be

applied if:

1. The instrument approach operation is based on precision or APV instrument approach

procedure; or

2. If the approach operation is based on NDB, NDB DME, VOR, VOR DME, LOC, LOC

DME, VDF, SRA or RNAV without approved vertical guidance but fulfilling the criteria
from rule a.2. above.

d. Values in Table 6-3 which are less than 1000m may not be applied if the approach operation

is based on NDB, NDB DME, VOR, VOR DME, LOC, LOC DME, VDF, SRA or RNAV with-
out approved vertical guidance if:

1. The criteria in rule a.2. are not fulfilled; or
2. The DH or MDH is 1200ft or higher.

e. Some States recommend to increase the RVR Minimums by 200m for CAT A & B and by

400m for CAT C & D aircraft when executing a non-precision approach procedure without
using a CDFA flight technique.

Remarks:
For CAT I precision approaches without TDZ and/or CL, the lowest minimums (e.g. R550m) are
shown and the higher values (R750m) with the less requirements are shown as note only.
For non-precision approach minimums based on CDFA, the descent label is shown as DA/
MDA(H).

This DA/MDA(H) value does not include any add-on to compensate for height-

loss. If the State requires or suggests a specific height loss, a note will be added to indicate this
situation.
A DA(H) is shown on non-precision approaches only if published as such on State-provided pro-
cedure source. In this case it is assumed that the State of the Aerodrome has incorporated a
height loss value.
An MDA(H) is shown on all non-CDFA non-precision approaches, or if the State published an
MDA(H) value on procedure source.

PRECISION CAT II MINIMUMS

CAT II precision approach minimums depend on the OCH/DH of the approach procedure, the
available runway lights and specific procedure requirements as shown in Table 6-4.

Rules
RVR values will be shown according to Table 6-4. RVR 350m for CAT D will only be shown as
note at the bottom of the minimums box, if applicable.
An RA value is shown for every DA(H) if provided by procedure source, or if a Precision Approach
Terrain Chart (PATC) is available (PANS-OPS procedures). If no RA is shown, then the operator
may have to apply an additional height-loss for using barometric altimeter (refer to ICAO Doc
8168 PANS-OPS).

PRECISION CAT III MINIMUMS

CAT III precision approach minimums (Table 6-5) depend on runway and aircraft equipment.
There must be a clear statement on procedure source that a specific runway is approved for CAT
III operations.

ported unless specifically restricted as published in the AIP or NOTAM.

b. Depending on source, lowest CAT III, CAT III B & CAT IIIA, or only CAT IIIA minimums are

shown.

c. A DH or the requirement for a DH is only shown if this is required by the State of the Aero-

drome.

Rule
Alternate minimums will not be shown, unless alternate minimum values are published by the
State of the aerodrome.

CONVERSION OF REPORTED METEOROLOGICAL VISIBILITY TO CMV

The conversion (Table E-1) has to be applied by the pilot if the horizontal minimum is charted dif-
ferently to what is reported by ATC (reported VIS versus RVR on chart).

Table E-1: Conversion factors (VIS to CMV) (continued)

* The relationship between reported visibility and RVR/CMV at night is under review by ICAO.

Rules

a. All charted values will be labelled as R (= RVR), V (= VIS), C (= CMV) or R/V (= RVR and/or

VIS). CMV is only charted if published by the State of the Aerodrome.

b. An operator must ensure that a meteorological visibility to CMV conversion is not used for

take-off, for calculating any other required RVR minimum less than 800m, or when reported
RVR is available. If a landing minimum is charted as R550m (up to R750m) and there is no
RVR reported, the minimum VIS for landing is 800m.

c. Pilot action:
