Ed Set,

I hear you - what are the implications of LVP's on a CAT I airfield...

At the CAT I airport I used to work at, we never had LVP's, as we were informed that LVP's are only applicable at a CAT II or better equipped airport.

My understanding of this is: How can you sustain LVP's if you do not have Hold/Stop bars, inadequate approach lighting, and probably no taxiway or runway centreline lights. I may be wrong, but in all the CAT I airports I have been at, none have had any of the above equipment. That is just my take on the LVP & CAT I situ.

At my airport now - which is CAT II (used to be CAT IIIa, but was downgraded due to legalities regarding the lack of individually selectable stopbars/holdbars), there are 3 phases of LVP's. Phase 3 is for the worst wx, and there we are only allowed 2 movements at any given time, and if the GMR is u/s, then only 1 at a time.

Cheers
URC
