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 than 50 ft, or no deci sion height
anda runway visual range not less than 50m. (5 Category IIIC (CAT IIIC) operation Apreci sion
