INSTRUMENT A PPROACH AND LANDING OPERATIONS Instrument approachand landing
operationsare classified as follows: a. Non-Precision Approach andLanding Opera tion : Instrument
approaches a nd landings which do not utilize electronic g lide path guidance. b. Precision Approach
andLanding Operations Instrument approachesand landings usingpreci sion azimuth and glide path
guidance with minima as determined by the categoryofopera tion. Categories of Precision Approach and
Landing Operations are: (1 Category I (CAT I) operation Aprecision instrument approachand
landingwithadeci sion height not lower than 200 ft and a visibility not less than 800m, or aRVRnot less
than 550m. (2 Category II (CAT II) operation. Aprecision instrument approachand landingwithadeci sion
height lower than 200 ft but not lower than 100 ft, andarunwayvisual range not less than 350m. (3
Category IIIA (CAT IIIA) operation Apreci sion instrument approachand landingwitha decisionheight
lower than 100 ft, or no deci sion height anda runway visual range not less than 200m. (4 Category IIIB
(CAT IIIB) operation Apreci sion instrument approachand landingwitha decisionheight lower than 50 ft,
or no deci sion height anda runway visual range not less than 50m. (5 Category IIIC (CAT IIIC) operation
Apreci sion instrument approachand landingwith no decisionheight no runwayvisual range limitations.
INSTRUMENTAPPROACHPROCEDURE—A series of predetermined manoeuvresbyreferenceto flight
instruments with specified p rotection from obstacles from the initial approach fix or, where applicable,
from the beginning of adefined arrival route to a point from which a landing can be completed and
thereafter, i f a landing is not completed, to apositionatwhich holding or en route obstacle
