Chapter 10- Practice Approaches
10.1 Automatic Landing in CAT I or Better Weather Conditions
The automatic landing system’s performance has been demonstrated on runways equipped with Cat II or CAT III ILS approaches. However, automatic landing in CAT I or better weather conditions is possible on CAT I ground installations or when ILS sensitive areas are not protected, if the following precautions are taken:
-
The airline has checked that the ILS beam quality and the effect of terrain profile before the runway have no adverse effect on AP/FD guidance. In particular, the effect of terrain discontinuities within 300 meters before runway threshold must be evaluated.
-
The crew is aware that LOC or GS beam fluctuations, independent of the aircraft systems, may occur and the PF is prepared to immediately disconnect the AP and take appropriate action, should unsatisfactory guidance occur.
-
At least CAT2 capability is displayed on the FMA, and CAT II/CAT III procedures are used.
-
Visual references are obtained at an altitude appropriate to the performed CAT I approach, otherwise go-around is initiated.
-
When the crew does not intend to perform an auto land, they should disconnect the AP at or above 80 feet: this altitude being the minimum to take over and feel comfortable. Nevertheless, for safety purposes, the AP may be disconnected at anytime.
10.2 Practice Approaches: To keep the currency of CAT II/III A/B approval of aircraft and crew, practice approaches may be carried out at following airports, when weather conditions above CAT I Minima.
