4.1 INTRODUCTION
An operator cannot perform CAT II or CAT III approaches or auto-landings unless:
. the aircraft type is approved for this type of operation (refer to attachment B for the mod/SB status required for those operations) ;
. the operator has received from his national authorities the operational approval to perform these types of operations. These requirements are reviewed in the preceding Chapter 3.
The aircraft capability to perform these operations is a necessary pre-requisite to obtain this operational approval (refer to AFM).
The airworthiness requirements for CAT II / CAT III approach and automatic landing applied to Airbus aircraft are in compliance with the following:
. JAR AWO section 1 (auto-land), section 2 (CAT II) and section 3 (CAT III) or its previous regulations applicable at the time of certification.
. FAA AC 20-57A (auto-land), AC 120-29 (CAT II) and AC 120-28D (CAT lll).
The methodology described in the following only demonstrates compliance with the JAR requirements.
FAA airworthiness approval was obtained by performing additional tests and assessments to comply with above FAA regulations.
It should be noted, however, that the above-listed requirements may be modified in the near future to reflect the JAR/FAR AWO harmonization process, and that the JAR AWO regulations only cover automatic approach and landing using an ILS as precision approach aid.
4.2 AIRCRAFT EQUIPMENT
In order to perform a CAT II or CAT III approach and automatic landing as explained above, the equipment listed in the AFM is required to be operative.
