Non Standard minima

[Topper80]

Scenery (real) airport in EU:

Airport with Glide Slope INOPERATIVE and all ALS INOPERATIVE (notams).

Procedure in use LOC (GS out) (MDH/DH is 330 ft): which RVR/CVR I need to land?

[Johnny F@rt Pants]

You need the rvr stated on the approach plate for the localizer approach that you're going to fly.

[BOAC]

Not quite! You need the table in 4c of the EUOPS appendix too! Let's have a stab at Cat C 1400m minimum - any advance?

[kasperl]

...it is table 4d of the old Appendix 1 to EU OPS 1.430, it says 1800m for CAT C and 2000m for CAT D aircraft. For operators who have already adopted the new Appendix 1(all must in July 2011), it is only 1500m for all aircraft categories provided they use the CDFA procedure. Without CDFA, add 400m to the 1500m (CAT C+D aircraft)...
so long, kasperl.

[Johnny F@rt Pants]

Oops, soory, bum steer from me there - RTFQ. I missed the bit about the approach lights. Humble apologies.

[Topper80]

Yuo are correct: for C airplane we need 1800 !!

So, how can many traffic land with this weather??????????????????????

[BOAC]

It depends on the RVR?

[Topper80]

fter 0445z we don't have any RVR report because, as reported, the general visibility is 1500 m

Day time: RVR/CVR = gen visibility x 1 = 1500 so no one could land !


Am I wrong ? Why?


PS: In night time will be: RVR/CVR = gen visibility x 1.5 and will be ok

[BOAC]

No you are right - go to the pub.

EDIT: Nor would I exercise my 'right' to convert met vis to RVR at 1.5x at night.

[9.G]

Topper80,
the new Jepp plates distinct between the DA for NPA CDFA for both normal conditions and ALS out as well as MDA for both normal and ALS OUT conditions. Provided you flown the approach as CDFA using DA RVR of 1500 or VIS 1500 is sufficient to shoot the approach. No problems there.

[411A]

The original question.

Non Standard minima
Scenery (real) airport in EU:
Airport with Glide Slope INOPERATIVE and all ALS INOPERATIVE (notams).
Procedure in use LOC (GS out) (MDH/DH is 330 ft): which RVR/CVR I need to land?

The not quite answer...

Not quite! You need the table in 4c of the EUOPS appendix too!

which, as it turns out is not quite correct.

It depends on whether the operator is regulated by EASA, or...another entity, that does not follow EASA procedures.

So, if I wanted to land my trusty L1011 at the specified airport, according to our operations specifications (which specifies the Jeppesen published minima on the chart, including inop components), reference to EUOPS appendix would absolutely not be required.
Why?
Because we are not an EU regulated operator (fortunately).

[BOAC]

If you took a break from riding at all those rodeos, sat on your mouth and gave it a rest, you would have noted Topper operates in EUOPS.

Hint: Professional pilots like to check things carefully - but then...........................

[411A]

... you would have noted Topper operates in EUOPS.

The original question did not so state, IE: he could be a non-EU operator operating in EUOPS area.
And yes, professional pilots do check carefully, and that is why my reply was as stated.

[BOAC]

he could be a non-EU operator operating in EUOPS area.

- of course, but even a child could find out he isn't!

[411A]

Rubbish, complete nonsense
