COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 965/2012
 

Paco, a question for you!
In the all important document EU 965/2012 there is plenty of information regarding minimum RVRs for the approach and landing for CAT 1,2 and 3 ac but there is NOTHING regarding minimum RVR values for take-off.
I am still teaching the old EU OPS `table` which draws the distinction between Category A,B,C,D ac, Runway markings/lighting, RVR availability etc.
Having looked through `EASA Air Operations Annexes 1 to 8`, dated September 2014, it seems that a lot of these parameters have changed somewhat and there is no obvious reference to ac categories whatsoever.
In short, what do the current LOs assume are the correct RVR values for the EASA exam?

The exact area I saw in the (huge) EASA document I mention above is Annex V Part-SPA, AMC1 SPA.LVO.100 Low visibility operations

A good question, and one which has recently been much on my mind :)

Seriously, will have to check!

Wow, what a quick reply!!
I assume you are familiar with the document I have quoted. Am I still OK in teaching the old `EU-OPS` table?

Very familiar - I have passed your question upstairs so to speak. If there is no info in that document, then teach the old stuff - that's what I'm doing here.

"You may have to refer to the AMC, specifically AMC1 CAT.OP.MPA.110 and AMC1 SPA.LVO.100".

The second reference is the one I allude to at the foot of my post.

Paco:

NPA29 is currently active in terms of LOs for EASA Exam `Op Procedures`.
Am I therefore still correct in teaching the old `EU-OPS table`?

Will NPA2016-03 use the new RVR policy as per the LVO.100?

In theory, yes - that was the last word from the CAA. It was only recently that helicopters caught up, I believe.

And yes, in theory :)
