What is the minimum decision height for SA CAT II operations when the flight crew is qualified to operate to a DH of 150 ft and the applicable OCH is 120 ft?

The DH should be not lower than the highest of the minimum DH specified in the AFM (if stated), the applicable OCH for the category of aeroplane, the DH to which the flight crew is qualified to operate, and 100 ft. In this case, the highest is 150 ft (the crew qualification).

For SA CAT II operations, which visual aids must be available?

The following visual aids should be available: approach lights as specified in Table 9, precision approach runway markings, and category I runway lights.

What is the lowest RVR minima for SA CAT II operations with a DH of 130 ft and a full approach light system (FALS)?

For a DH of 121-140 ft with FALS, the lowest RVR minima is 400 m.

If an aeroplane is conducting SA CAT II operations with a DH of 180 ft and only basic approach lights (BALS) are available, what is the minimum RVR?

For a DH of 161-199 ft with BALS, the minimum RVR is 650 m.

What is the maximum DH allowed for SA CAT II operations according to Table 9?

Table 9 lists DH ranges up to 161-199 ft, so the maximum DH shown is 199 ft.

For SA CAT II operations, what is the RVR requirement when the DH is 110 ft and only intermediate approach lights (IALS) are available?

For a DH of 100-120 ft with IALS, the RVR minima is 450 m.

What is the RVR minima for SA CAT II operations with a DH of 150 ft and no approach lights (NALS)?

For a DH of 141-160 ft with NALS, the RVR minima is 750 m.

What is the lowest RVR minima for SA CAT II operations with a DH of 105 ft and a full approach light system (FALS)?

For a DH of 100-120 ft with FALS, the lowest RVR minima is 350 m.

For SA CAT II operations, what is the RVR requirement when the DH is 200 ft?

Table 9 does not list a DH of 200 ft; the highest DH range is 161-199 ft. Therefore, 200 ft is not covered by the table.

ED Decision 2022/012/R

OPERATIONS WITH OPERATIONAL CREDITS — SPECIAL AUTHORISATION CATEGORY II (SA CAT II)

For special authorisation category II (SA CAT II) operations, the following should apply:

(a) The DH should be determined by the use of a radio altimeter or other device capable of providing equivalent performance, if so determined by the aircraft certification process, and be not lower than the highest of:

(1) the minimum DH specified in the AFM, if stated;

(2) the applicable OCH for the category of aeroplane;

(3) the DH to which the flight crew is qualified to operate; or

(4) 100 ft.

(b) The following visual aids should be available:

(1) approach lights as specified in Table 9;

(2) precision approach runway markings;

(3) category I runway lights.
