CAT 3A minima in Melbourne
9.G: Can you direct me to the relevant EU-OPS and ICAO references which detail the minimum RVR requirements for the fire services to operate. This area is "glossed over" in my company manuals.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

Cat 3A with fail passive and still only need 75m midpoint (EU-OPS)
So I return once again to the question of why no Cat 3A DH ?
P.S. AC 120-28D, is an extensive reference. FAA includes the option of fail operational for landing and fail passive for rollout which isn't available on airbus at least.

Meikleour, try CAP 168 airdrome licensing. This is an excerpt.
Rescue and Fire Fighting Service (RFFS) vehicles are essential to airfield operations at all times and response and deployment times are of vital concern to aerodrome licence holders. Although it is unlikely that RFFS response time will be significantly affected in visibilities down to 200 m, temporary relocation of vehicles to strategic points may be necessary for a very large or complicated aerodrome. In visibilities below 200 m there is greater probability that response times will be affected. Operational Instructions and training should be developed in accordance with the guidance at Chapter 8, paragraph 25.5.

Meikleour, sorry mate I haven't dealt with it extensively but I can imagine there's a more detailed set of rules for certification where application of RFFS are included during LVO. I'm aware it affects it on CAT III ops but no hard flore figure as such. Canadian for instance connect directly RVR 600 with RFFS availability. See ATC Canada in Jepp.
