LVTO with RVR below 150 m for category B-C aircraft and CAT 2/3 approaches are subject to prior authorization from the applicable State. (NOTAMS)
(Those minima cannot be applied on all runways ! They require the concerned runway to be equipped for this type of operations.)

Flight crew must be qualified to perform LVTO, CAT II and CAT III operations.

Below 400m RVR, LVTO applies . Airport can go earlier in LVP !

2.1.1 TAKEOFF MINIMA DETERMINATION Check State Minima in NOTAMS Basically, Jeppesen is applicable (normally 10.9) Under local authority approval, the 150m published minima can be reduced to 125 m if authorized in the State minima. Company allows minimum 125 m

: TDZ : TDZ + MID : TDZ + MID + ROLL OUT

If missing, the Commander may assess the TDZ RVR if authorized by local authorities. 2.1.3 LVTO AT 125 M RVR REQUIREMENT The following items are required to perform a LVTO at 125 m : HIRL (spacing<=60m) CL (spacing<= 15m) Multiple RVR required (all above 125 m) Low visibility must be in force Visual segment of 90 m at least 4 TDZ lights - Look for other lights and check spacing in Jep/ATC Remarks A CATII/III runway is equipped for low visibility takeoff. (10 -9) A none CATII/III runway may be equipped for low visibility takeoff (for example: ZRH 28).

TAKEOFF ALTERNATE

When a return is not possible due to Wx or Perfo reasons : check cold WX OPS * 2.1.5 LOW VISIBILITY TAKEOFF PROCEDURE

Below 400m RVR, LVTO applies CPT Takeoff thrust RWY FO does TO TOGA use full length. scans inside & steer left , steer right if yaw bar aviable.

Condiderations Consider not using the landing lights and the use of strobe lights in AUTO. Recommended to use a runway with an ILS. (green yaw bar on PFD during takeoff). CM 1 : Check 90m minimum visual segment after line-up.

3.1.1 DECISION HEIGHT (DH)

HEIGHT ABOVE RUNWAY ELEVATION AT WHICH A GA MUST BE PERFORMED IF NOT ENOUGH VISUAL REFERENCE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO CONTINUE THE APPROACH AND LAND SAFELY.

REQUIRED VISUAL REFERENCE AT DH CAT II and CAT III A: min 3 light segments of CAT III B: min 1 CL . Approach lights or Centerline lights or TDZ lights RL.

Considerations In CAT III with DH, the condition required to continue the approach at DH is that the visual references confirm that the A/C is over the touchdown zone. Below DH and before touchdown, if the visual references become insufficient, a GA must be initiated. After touchdown, a GA should not be attempted, if the visual references become insufficient. The rollout should be continued with AP in ROLLOUT mode down to taxi speed.

3.1.2 ALERT HEIGHT (AH) HEIGHT ABOVE THE RUNWAY, BASED ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AIRPLANE AND ITS FAILOPERATIONAL AUTOMATIC LANDING SYSTEM ABOVE WHICH A CAT III APPROACH WOULD BE DISCONTINUED AND A GA INITIATED IF A FAILURE OCCURS IN ONE OF THE REDUNDANT PARTS

OF THE AUTOLAND SYSTEM, OR IN THE RELEVANT GROUND EQUIPMENT. In CAT III NO DH, the decision to continue the approach does not depend on visual references even though a minimum RVR is specified. At Alert Height (AH), the decision to continue the approach depends only on the operational status of the aircraft and ground equipment. FOR THE A319, AH=100FT FAIL-PASSIVE AUTOMATIC LANDING SYSTEM An automatic landing system is fail passive if, in the event of a failure, there is no significant out-of-trim condition or deviation of flight path or attitude but the landing is not completed automatically. The pilot assumes control of the aircraft after a failure. On the A319, the fail-passive capability is announced by the display of CAT 3 SINGLE on the PFD. FAILED OPERATIONAL LANDING SYSTEM An automatic landing system is fail-operational if, in the event of a failure below alert height, the approach, the flare and landing can be completed by the remaining part of the automatic system. In the event of a failure, the automatic landing system will operate as a fail-passive system. On the A319, the fail-operational capability is announced by the display of CAT 3 DUAL on the PFD. 3.1.3 APPROACH BAN CONCEPT An instrument approach may be commenced regardless of the reported RVR/visibility but do not continue beyond OM or 1000 AGL if RVR/visibility is less then the applicibale minima. If Wx was ok at OM/1000 AGL but worsens later on continue to MDA(DA) and then perform a GA.

Note: With one engine inoperative, by design of the electrical system, the Electrical Power Supply Split will not be available and the A/C will be limited to CAT 3 SINGLE status. 3.4.2 TYPE OF FAILURES There are 2 types of failures Failures leading to a downgrading of capability as displayed on FMA and ECAM with the associated specific audio warning (triple click).Those failures are so called monitored by FMGS. Failures that do not trigger a downgrading of capability but are signaled by other effects (flag, ECAM caution, audio warning). Those failures are so called not monitored by FMGS

3.4.3 RESPONSE TO FAILURES Warnings For ILS approach. Failure and associated actions above 1000 ft for CAT II or CAT III. Failure and associated actions below 1000 ft during a CAT II approach. Failure and associated actions below 1000 ft during a CAT III approach with DH. Failure and associated actions below 1000 ft during a CAT III approach without DH.

There are 3 possible responses to a failure during the approach. 1. Continue the approach to planned minima. 2. Revert to higher minima and proceed to a new DH (above 1000 ft). 3. Go-around and reassess the capability.

It is considered that below 1000 ft AGL, not enough time is available for the crew to perform the necessary switching, to check system configuration and limitations and brief for minima. Therefore, 1000 ft is a key-point altitude in the procedure. In CAT III DUAL, in general, a single failure below AH does not necessitate a go-around but a go-around is required if the autoland warning (red) is triggered. DOWNGRADING FROM CAT 3 DUAL TO CAT 3 SINGLE ABOVE 1000 FT Downgrading from CAT 3 DUAL to CAT 3 SINGLE above 1000 ft is permitted if: ECAM actions completed. RVR at least equal to CAT 3-A minima. Briefing amended to include CAT 3 SINGLE procedure with DH. Decision to downgrade is completed above 1000 ft.

DOWNGRADING FROM CAT 3 TO CAT 2 ABOVE 1000 FT Downgrading from CAT 3 to CAT 2 above 1000 ft is permitted if: ECAM actions completed. RVR at least equal to CAT 2 minima. Briefing amended to include CAT 2 procedure and DH. Decision to downgrade is completed above 1000 ft. DOWNGRADING FROM CAT 2 TO CAT 1 ABOVE 1000 FT Downgrading from CAT 2 to CAT 1 above 1000 ft is permitted if: ECAM actions completed. At least one flight director is available. RVR at least equal to CAT 1 minima. Briefing amended to include CAT 1 procedure and DH. Decision to downgrade is completed above 1000 ft. GA BELOW 1000 FT AND ABOVE DH (AH) Below 1000 ft AGL and above DH (for CAT 2 or CAT 3 SINGLE) or above AH (for CAT 3 DUAL), a GA must be performed in case of: ALPHA FLOOR activation. Loss of AP (cavalry charge). Downgrading of capability (triple click). Amber caution(single chime). Engine failure.

AT 350 FT RA LAND must be displayed on FMA and runway course must be checked. If RWY course is incorrect or LAND does not appear, a go-around must be performed.

AT DH AND BELOW - VIS AT AH AND BELOW- Autoland RED -GA AT FLARE HEIGHT If FLARE does not come up on FMA, by 30 ft, a go-around must be performed. If visual references are sufficient and a manual landing possible, the CM1 may decide to land manually. AFTER TOUCHDOWN In case of anti-skid or nose wheel steering failure, disconnect AP and take manual control. If automatic rollout is not satisfactory, disconnect the AP immediately.
