Therefore, upgrading/downgrading procedure must be defined so as to assist the
dispatch of the aircraft to assure maximum autoland capacity.
The dispatch policy should be based on the minimum equipment list (MEL) as it
governs the basic criteria for operation.
Dispatch criteria and status of aircraft must be recorded in the Technical Log Book with reference to the MEL (if any); if the defect has been rectified it should be cleared accordingly and revalidation of the aircraft status performed.
A prominent placard should be displayed on the aircraft and in the maintenance control room to inform Flight Operations of the current aircraft status.
In general, aircraft which perform Cat III operation regularly under real or simulated conditions do not need to perform system checks except if specified in AMM.
After an adjustment or a repair is made on the equipment, a revalidation of the aircraft should be made by the corresponding AMM ground test.
A periodic check may be requested by national authorities on an aircraft, which hasnot performed CAT III operations for a specific period of time (to be agreed with national authorities).
