CAR 91.07.8

PLANNING MINIMA FOR IFR FLIGHTS 1. Planning minima for destination alternate aerodromes (1) An owner or operator may only select the destination aerodrome or alternate destina-tion aerodrome when the appropriate weather reports or forecasts, or any combination thereof, indicate that, during a period commencing 1 hour before and ending 1 hour after the estimated time of arrival at the aerodrome, the weather conditions will be at or above the applicable planning minima as follows: (a) Planning minima for the destination aerodrome (i) RVR/visibility must be in accordance with that specified in CAR 91.07.5; and (ii) for a non-precision approach or a circling approach, the ceiling at or above MDH; (b) Planning minima for destination alternate aerodrome must be in accordance with Table 1. Table 1 : Planning minima—En route and destination alternates

2. Planning minima for en route alternate aerodromes (Non-ETOPS Flights) An owner or operator may not select an aerodrome as an en route alternate aerodrome unless the appropriate weather reports or forecasts, or any combination thereof, indicate that, during a period commencing 1 hour before and ending 1 hour after the expected time of arrival at the aerodrome, the weather conditions will be at or above the planning minima prescribed in Table 1

CATS 91.07.5 AERODROME OPERATING MINIMA

1. Take-off minima (1) General (a) Take-off minima established by the operator must be expressed as visibility or RVR limits, taking into account all relevant factors for each aerodrome planned to be used and the aeroplane characteristics. Where there is a specific need to see and avoid obstacles on departure and/or for a forced landing, additional conditions (e.g. ceiling) must be specified. (b) The pilot-in-command may not commence take-off unless the weather conditions at the aerodrome of departure are equal to or better than applicable minima for land ing at that aerodrome unless a suitable take-off alternate aerodrome is available. (c) When the reported meteorological visibility is below that required for take-off and RVR is not reported, a take-off may only be commenced if the pilot-in-command can determine that the RVR/visibility along the take-off runway is equal to or better than the required minimum. (d) When no reported meteorological visibility or RVR is available, a take-off may only be commenced if the pilot-in-command can determine that the RVR/visibility along the take-off runway is equal to or better than the required minimum. (2) Visual reference The take-off minima must be selected to ensure sufficient guidance to control the aeroplane in the event of both a discontinued take-off in adverse circumstances and a continued take-off after failure of the critical power unit. (3) Required RVR/Visibility (a) For multi-engine aeroplanes, whose performance is such that, in the event of a critical power unit failure at any point during take-off, the aeroplane can either stop or continue the take-off to a height of 1 500 feet above the aerodrome while clearing obstacles by the required margins, the take-off minima established by an operator must be expressed as RVR/Visibility values not lower than those given in Table 1 below except as provided in paragraph (4) below:

Page 6: Air Law Manual

6

Notes (Table 1): 1. The higher values apply to Category D aeroplanes. 2. For night operations at least runway edge and runway end lights are required. 3. The reported RVR/Visibility value representative of the initial part of the take-off run can be replaced by pilot assessment. 4. The required RVR value must be achieved for all of the relevant RVR reporting points with the exception given in Note 3 above. (b) For multi-engine aeroplanes whose performance is such that they cannot comply with the performance conditions in subparagraph (3)(a) above in the event of a criti cal power unit failure, there may be a need to re-land immediately and to see and avoid obstacles in the take-off area. Such aeroplanes may be operated to the follow ing take-off minima provided they are able to comply with the applicable obstacle clearance criteria, assuming engine failure at the height specified. The take-off min ima established by an operator must be based upon the height from which the one engine inoperative net take-off flight path can be constructed. The RVR minima used may not be lower than either of the values given in Table 1 above or Table 2 below:

Notes: 1. 1 500 m is also applicable if no positive take-off flight path can be constructed. 2. The reported RVR/Visibility value representative of the initial part of the take-off run can be replaced by pilot (c) When reported RVR, or meteorological visibility is not available, the pilot-in- command may not commence take-off unless he or she can determine that the ac tual conditions satisfy the applicable take-off minima. (4) Exceptions to paragraph (3)(a): (a) Subject to the approval of the Commissioner, and provided the requirements in paragraphs (i) to (v) below have been satisfied, an operator may reduce the take-off minima to 125 m RVR (Category A, B and C aeroplanes) or 150 m RVR (Category D aeroplanes) when – (i) low visibility procedures are in force

Page 7: Air Law Manual

7

(ii) high intensity runway centreline lights spaced 15 m or less and high inten sity edge lights spaced 60 m or less are in operation;

(iii) flight deck crew members have satisfactorily completed training in a simu lator approved for this procedure;

(iv) a 90 m visual segment is available from the cockpit at the start of the take- off run; and

(v) the required RVR value has been achieved for all of the relevant RVR re porting points (b) Subject to the approval of the Commissioner, an operator of an aeroplane using an approved lateral guidance system for take-off may reduce the take-off minima to an RVR less than 125 m (Category A, B and C aeroplanes) or 150 m (Category D aeroplane) but not lower than 75 m provided runway protection and facilities equiva lent to Category III landing operations are available 2. Non-precision approach (1) System minima (a) An operator must ensure that system minima for non-precision approach proce dures, which are based upon the use of ILS without glidepath (LLZ only), VOR, NDB, SRA and VDF are not lower than the MDH values given in Table 3 below:

(2) Minimum descent height An operator must ensure that the minimum descent height for a non-precision approach is not lower than either – (a) the OCH/OCL for the category of aeroplane; or (b) the system minimum

Page 8: Air Law Manual

(3) Visual reference A pilot may not continue an approach below MDA/MDH unless at least one of the follow-ing visual references for the intended runway is distinctly visible and identifiable to the pi-lot: (a) Elements of the approach light system; (b) the threshold; (c) the threshold markings; (d) the threshold lights; (e) the threshold identification lights; (f) the visual glide slope indicator; (g) the touchdown zone or touchdown zone markings; (h) the touchdown zone lights; (i) runway edge lights; or (j) other visual references accepted by the Commissioner. (4) Required RVR The lowest minima to be used by an operator for non-precision approaches are:

Page 9: Air Law Manual

Notes: 1. Full facilities comprise runway markings, 720 m or more of HI/MI approach lights, runway edge lights, threshold lights and runway end lights. Lights must be on. 2. Intermediate facilities comprise runway markings, 420 – 719 m of HI/MI approach lights, runway edge lights, threshold lights and runway end lights. Lights must be on. 3. Basic facilities comprise runway markings, < 420 m of HI/MI approach lights, any length of LI approach lights, runway edge lights, threshold lights and runway end lights. Lights must be on. 4. Nil approach light facilities comprise runway markings, runway edge lights, threshold lights, runway end lights or no lights at all. 5. The tables are only applicable to conventional approaches with a nominal de-scent slope of not greater than 4°. Greater descent slopes will usually require that visual glide slope guidance (e.g. PAPI) is also visible at the Minimum Descent Height. 6. The above figures are either reported RVR or meteorological visibility converted to RVR as in TS 121.07.7.8 below. 7. The MDH mentioned in Table 4(a), 4(b), 4(c) and 4(d) refers to the initial calcula-tion of MDH. When selecting the associated RVR, there is no need to take account of a rounding up to the nearest ten feet, which may be done for operational pur-poses, e.g. conversion to MDA.

(5) Night operations For night operations at least runway edge, threshold and runway end lights must be on. 3. Precision approach – Category I operations (1) General A Category I operation is a precision instrument approach procedure which provides for an approach to a decision height not lower than 200 ft and a visibility not less than 800 m or RVR not less than 550 m. (2) Decision height An operator must ensure that the decision height to be used for a Category I precision approach is not lower than – (a) the minimum decision height specified in the aeroplane flight manual (AFM) if stated; (b) the minimum height to which the precision approach aid can be used without the required visual reference; (c) the OCH/OCL for the category of aeroplane; or (d) 200 ft. (3) Visual reference A pilot may not continue an approach below the Category I decision height, determined in accordance with paragraph (2) above, unless at least one of the following visual refer-ences for the intended runway is distinctly visible and identifiable to the pilot: (a) Elements of the approach light system; (b) the threshold; (c) the threshold markings; (d ) the threshold lights; (e) the threshold identification lights; (f) the visual glide slope indicator; (g) the touchdown zone or touchdown zone markings; (h) the touchdown zone lights; or (i) runway edge lights. (4) Required RVR The lowest minima to be used by an operator for Category I operations are

Notes: 1. Full facilities comprise runway markings, 720 m or more of HI/MI approach lights, runway edge lights, threshold lights and runway end lights. Lights must be on. 2. Intermediate facilities comprise runway markings, 420 – 719 m of HI/MI approach lights, runway edge lights, threshold lights and runway end lights. Lights must be on. 3. Basic facilities comprise runway markings, < 420 m of HI/MI approach lights, any length of LI approach lights, runway edge lights, threshold lights and runway end lights. Lights must be on. 4. Nil approach light facilities comprise runway markings, runway edge lights, threshold lights, runway end lights or no lights at all. 5. The above figures are either the reported RVR or meteorological visibility con-verted to RVR as in accordance with technical standard 131.6. 6. The table is applicable to conventional approaches while a glide slope angle up to and including 4°. 7. The DH mentioned in Table 5 refers to the initial calculation of DH. When select-ing the associated RVR, there is no need to take account of a rounding up to the nearest ten feet, which may be done for operational purposes, e.g. conversion to DA. (5) Single pilot operations For single pilot operations, an operator must calculate the minimum RVR for all ap-proaches in accordance with CAR 121.07.7 and this technical standard. An RVR of less than 800 m is not permitted except when using a suitable autopilot coupled to an ILS or MLS, in which case normal minima apply. The decision height applied may not be less than 1.25 x the minimum disengagement height for the autopilot. (6) Night operations For night operations at least runway edge, threshold and runway end lights must be on.
