Jeppesen minimums and ALS

Hi guys,

from yesterday the airline I work for started to use EU OPS minimums (Standard on Jeppesen charts).

The Approach light systems are defined as:

FALS (full ALS)
IALS (Intermediate ALS)
BALS (Basic ALS)
NALS (no ALS

depending on the length of the Approach lights. From 900 to 720 meters it's a FALS, from 719 to 420 it's intermediate, from 419 to 210 it's basic and below 210 meters of ALS it's a NALS.

Now, in the Jeppesen minimums section of the approach charts you have:

FULL / LIMITED / NO ALS

Can someone explain the meaning of LIMITED? What is it referred to (IALS+BALS?)

In the Introduction section of the Jeppesen it's not explained, not even in the definition or in the Approach chart legend.

Thank you

BTS
