CAT.POL.A.230 Landing – dry runways Regulation (EU) 2023/217 (a) The landing mass of the aeroplane determined in accordance with point [CAT.POL.A.105(a)](#_DxCrossRefBm927678723) for the estimated time of landing at the destination aerodrome and at any alternate aerodrome shall allow a full-stop landing from 50 ft above the threshold: (1) for turbojet-powered aeroplanes, within 60 % of the landing distance available (LDA); (2) for turbopropeller-powered aeroplanes, within 70 % of the LDA; (3) by way of derogation from points (a)(1) and (a)(2), for aeroplanes that are approved for reduced landing distance operations under point [CAT.POL.A.255](#_DxCrossRefBm927678746), within 80 % of the LDA. (b) For steep approach operations, the operator shall use the landing distance data factored in accordance with point (a)(1) or (a)(2), as applicable, based on a screen height of less than 60 ft, but not less than 35 ft, and shall comply with point [CAT.POL.A.245](#_DxCrossRefBm927678745). (c) For short landing operations, the operator shall use the landing distance data factored in accordance with point (a)(1) or (a)(2), as applicable, and shall comply with point [CAT.POL.A.250](#_DxCrossRefBm927678744). (d) When determining the landing mass, the operator shall take into account the following: (1) not more than 50 % of the headwind component or not less than 150 % of the tailwind component; (2) corrections as provided in the AFM. (e) For dispatching the aeroplane, the aeroplane shall: (1) land on the most favourable runway, in still air; and (2) land on the runway most likely to be assigned, considering the probable wind speed and direction, the ground-handling characteristics of the aeroplane and other conditions such as landing aids and terrain. (f) If the operator is unable to comply with point (e)(2) for the destination aerodrome, the aeroplane shall only be dispatched if an alternate aerodrome is designated that allows full compliance with one of the following: (1) points (a) to (d), if the runway at the estimated time of arrival is dry; (2) points [CAT.POL.A.235(a)](#_DxCrossRefBm927678682) to (d), if the runway at the estimated time of arrival is wet or contaminated.
