ORDER 8400.13F |
|
Effective Date: 10/25/19 |
|
SUBJ: Procedures for the Evaluation and Approval of Facilities for Special Authorization Category I Operations and All Category II and III Operations |
This order provides guidance for all personnel in the approval of facilities for Category (CAT) I Runway Visual Range (RVR) 1800 at runways with reduced lighting, Special Authorization (SA) CAT I and all CAT II and CAT III.
With a growing emphasis on performance-based operations, different levels of operation may be authorized based on the flight equipment of a specific operator and the ground equipment available at specific runways. While certain ground facility requirements are needed to support all levels of either CAT I, CAT II, or CAT III operations, a higher category of operations may be performed on different “types” of ground equipment if the airborne equipment, crew training, or other factors offset any changes in ground facility requirements. In these situations, operations are predicated on the use of specific equipment and/or procedures, which will be required in the operator’s applicable authorization (such as an operations specification (OpSpec), management specification (MSpec), or Letter of Authorization (LOA)).
