2. Due to the very low visibility associated with CAT II / III operations, authorities strictly regulate all aspects of this type of operation, in order to maintain the general level of safety in air transportation. Basically, four elements are strictly regulated (as shown Figure 3.1 ). 1. The aircraft 2. The airfield 3. The operator 4. The flight crew Introduction
3. Introduction
4. An operator applying for CAT II or CAT III operations must adhere to the rigid structure of the regulation to get the operational approval from his own authority. This Module should be considered as an aid to understand the requirements and as an operator's guide to get the operational approval. Introduction
5. The approval process may differ according to the various regulations but the general principle follows the same basic sequences set out below. 1. An operator which applies for a Category II or Category III approval must submit a file to his national authority. This file represents the official application. Basically, this file must include the following items. Principal of Approval Process
6. 1.1 Aircraft type Extracts taken from the Flight Manual mainly addressing aircraft certification status, list of required equipment for the intended mode of operations, the limitations, and the procedures following failures. Principal of Approval Process
7. 1.2 Airfield equipment A description of the airfield equipment in accordance with ICAO standards for Category II/III, including visual and non-visual aids, runway characteristics, obstacle clearance area, RVR measurements, ATC procedures, etc. 1.3 Airfield operating minima A proposal for airfield operating minima for each airfield intended to be used by the operator. Principal of Approval Process
8. 1.4 Flight crew training A syllabus for ground training, flight/simulator training in order to get the Category II or III qualification and the requirements for recurrent training. 1.5 Flight crew procedures A description of the operational procedures covering in particular crew task sharing, approach monitoring, decision making, handling of failures and go- around. Principal of Approval Process
9. 1.6 Maintenance program A description of the maintenance program, which is mandatory to ensure the airborne equipment, will remain at the level of performance and reliability demonstrated during the certification. Principal of Approval Process
10. 2. After receiving this file, the authority will meet the operator to review the file and to notify the required operational demonstration. 3. The operator has to establish a simulator training program to qualify both instructors and pilots on the aircraft type. 4. During the operational demonstration, the operator must demonstrate his ability to perform Category II or III with an appropriate approach success rate and level of safety. Principal of Approval Process
11. 5. If the operational demonstration is satisfactory, the operator will obtain the approval for in-fine service with the specified minima. 6. During fine operations, the operator must provide periodic flight reports with all required data to the authority as part of a continuous monitoring process. The complete Category II and Category III approval process is illustrated in Figure 3.2. Principal of Approval Process
