This flashcard set covers advanced traffic operations, specifically focusing on low visibility procedures (LVP) and instrument landing systems (ILS). It delves into critical areas, sensitive zones, and the necessary equipment for various categories of operations, such as CAT II and CAT III. The flashcards also address the roles of pilots, aircraft, and vehicles in maintaining safety during low visibility conditions. This set is invaluable for aviation professionals, including air traffic controllers and pilots, who need to understand and implement procedures to ensure safe operations in challenging weather conditions.

At OMEGA, what example coordinations with APP do exist regarding LVP (CAT II/III operations)?

- departing acft commenced take-off roll before inbound has passed 6 NM final RWY 32

- sensitive area to be vacated before inbound has reached 2 NM final RWY 32

What's the name of a procedure during LVD?

Guided take-off

What must be secured during guided take-off?

- LOC sensitive area clear until departing acft has overflown antenna

- no subsequent take-off until preceeding departure has overflown LOC antenna

- sensitive area behind may be infringed (line-up, cross etc.)

Do all LVD involve guided take-offs?

No

LVD involving guided take-offs are not permitted if ...... ? (6)

- LOC out of CAT II/III tolerance
- LOC critical/sensitive area not vacated
- failure of ILS ground monitoring system
- failure of far-field monitor
- failure of LOC standby transmitter
- auxiliary power not working

What should you do afer aircraft has landed in CAT II/III to continue operations?

ask to report runway vacated (unless positively oserved on ASDE)

When shall the termination phase be initiated?

- when RVR reaches 550m or greater,
- vertical visibility and ceiling is 200ft or greater,
- condition are indicating sustained improvement 

What is the minimum equipment required during CAT II operations?

1 LOC, 1 GP, 1 DME

What is the minimum equipment required during CAT III operations?

2 LOC, 2 GP, 2 DME

What is the minimum equipment required during LVD (guided take-offs only)?

2 LOC

Who has to be updated immediately about any deficiency or downgrading of operations? How should it be reported?

approach and flight crews

reported in terms of category of operations that ILS can support

What should be done with a longer downgrade?

more than 1 hour -> publish in NOTAM

Does a downgrade of operational status prohibit aircrafts to operate on higher status?

No, they can do it under their own responsibility

Any failure of secondary power supply will result in ...... ?

downgrading to CAT I ILS operations

LVD not available

For what reasons are operations during LVP downgraded?

- minimum required equipment not available
- aircraft or vehicle within any cirital area of ILS
- aircraft or vehicle within sensitive area of ILS, when arriving acft is less than 2 NM from rwy threshold
- aircraft or vehicle is within sensitive area of LOC, between position where acft will commence a LVD and LOC antenna

In what exception can an aircraft/vehicle be in the ILS sensitive area when arriving acft is closer than 2 NM?

Operations in low visibility shall not be considered downgraded if an obstructing aircraft or vehicle will vacate the sensitive area before the approaching aircraft passes a position 1 NM from touchdown.

What if an aircraft requests practice CAT II/III approach?

approve,
LVP need not be applied, departing or preceeding landing aircraft may disturb ILS signals

-> inform flight crew of this possibility: "Low Visibility Procedures not applied"
