AERODROME KNOWLEDGE FOR NON-COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS

The operator may, based on complexity, categorise all aerodromes in one of the following three categories:

(a)     category A — an aerodrome that meets all the following conditions:

(1)     an approved instrument approach procedure;

(2)     at least one runway with no performance-limited procedure for take-off and/or landing;

(3)     published circling minima not higher than 1 000 ft above aerodrome level; and

(4)     night operations capability.

(b)     category B — an aerodrome that does not meet the category A conditions or which requires extra considerations due to:

(1)     non-standard approach aids and/or approach patterns;

(2)     unusual local weather conditions;

(3)     unusual characteristics or performance limitations;

(4)     any other relevant considerations, including obstacles, physical layout, lighting, etc.

(c)      category C — an aerodrome that requires additional considerations to those of a category B aerodrome.

Offshore installations may be categorised as category B or C aerodromes, taking into account the limitations determined in accordance with AMC1 SPA.HOFO.115 ‘Use of offshore locations’.
