AMC1 NCC.OP.235(a)(4) EFVS
200 operations
ED Decision 2022/012/R
OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR EFVS 200 OPERATIONS
(a) For EFVS 200 operations, the following should apply:
(1) the pilot flying should use the EFVS throughout the approach;
(2) in multi-pilot operations, a suitable display of EFVS sensory imagery should be provided to the pilot monitoring;
(3) the approach between the FAF and the DA/H should be flown using vertical flight path guidance;
(4) the approach may be continued below the DA/H provided that the pilot can identify on the EFVS image either:
(i) the approach light system; or
(ii) both of the following:
(A) the runway threshold identified by the beginning of the runway landing surface, the threshold lights or the runway end identifier lights; and
(B) the TDZ identified by the TDZ lights, the TDZ runway markings or the runway lights;
(5) a missed approach should be executed promptly if the required visual reference is not distinctly visible and identifiable to the pilot without reliance on the EFVS by 200 ft above the threshold.
(b) Operating procedures for EFVS 200 operations should:
(1) be consistent with the AFM;
(2) be appropriate to the technology and equipment to be used;
(3) specify the duties and responsibilities of each flight crew member in each relevant phase of flight;
(4) ensure that flight crew workload is managed to facilitate effective decision-making and monitoring of the aircraft; and
(5) deviate to the minimum extent practicable from normal procedures used for routine operations.
(c) Operating procedures should include:
(1) the required checks for the satisfactory functioning of the aircraft equipment, both before departure and in flight;
(2) the correct seating and eye position;
(3) determination of aerodrome operating minima;
(4) the required visual references at the DH;
(5) the action to be taken if natural visual reference is not acquired by 200 ft;
(6) the action to be taken in the event of loss of the required visual reference; and
(7) procedures for balked landing.
(d) Operating procedures for EFVS 200 operations should be included in the operations manual.
For Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) 200 operations, pilots must use EFVS throughout the approach, with sensory imagery for monitoring pilots. Approaches below decision altitude/height are allowed if pilots identify required visual references on the EFVS image. Missed approaches are required if visual references are not visible by 200ft. Procedures must align with aircraft flight manuals, manage workload, and cover equipment checks, visual references, and missed approaches.
