According to AMC1 SPA.LVO.100(c), what RVR is required for a DH of 150-160 ft with a FALS lighting system?

According to Table 8, for a DH of 150-160 ft with a FALS lighting system, the RVR should be 400 m.

What visual aids are required for SA CAT I operations?

The following visual aids should be available: approach lights as specified in Table 8, precision approach (PA) runway markings, and category I runway lights.

What is the relationship between RVR and approach lighting systems for SA CAT I operations?

The lowest RVR should not be lower than the higher of: the minimum RVR specified in the AFM (if stated), or the RVR specified in Table 8, which correlates RVR with different classes of light facilities (FALS, IALS, BALS, NALS) and decision heights.

What is the minimum decision height (DH) for a special authorisation category I (SA CAT I) operation?

The DH of an SA CAT I operation should not be 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, or 150 ft.

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

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

(a) The DH of an SA CAT I operation should not be 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) 150 ft.

(b) Where the DH for an SA CAT I operation is less than 200 ft, it should be determined by the use of a radio altimeter or other device capable of providing equivalent performance.

(1) approach lights as specified in Table 8;

(2) precision approach (PA) runway markings;

(3) category I runway lights.

(d) The lowest RVR should not be lower than the higher of:

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

(2) the RVR specified in Table 8.
