Low visibility procedures are implemented when visibility falls below a certain threshold. This can be in terms of runway visual range (RVR) or cloud base height.

Minimum visibility conditions for landing and takeoff, determined by the airport authority and published on approach charts.

The lowest visibility conditions that an airline is allowed to operate in, following approval from their regulatory authority.

A written authorization issued by a state aviation authority, permitting an airline to operate under specific conditions, including LVO.

An instrument approach and landing cannot be conducted if visibility is less than 800 meters unless Runway Visual Range (RVR) data is available.

Airlines must demonstrate their ability to operate in low visibility conditions (CAT II/III) by performing at least two simulator approaches during recurrent training.

Flight operations departments are responsible for certifying crew competency for low visibility procedures.

CAT II/III approaches require special equipment and procedures to navigate and land safely in low visibility conditions.

Recurrent training helps crews maintain and improve their skills, including operating in low visibility conditions.

Simulators provide a safe and controlled environment to practice low visibility procedures, ensuring crew proficiency.

If a runway light fails before the approach ban point, the approach must be discontinued. If it fails after the approach ban point, the pilot can continue at their discretion.

Multiple runway light failures are not allowed, unless specified in Table 1 of the regulations. Approach and runway lights are assessed independently.

For CAT II and CAT III operations, there is zero tolerance for combined failures in runway lights and RVR assessment equipment.

Failures of equipment other than ILS (Instrument Landing System) directly impact RVR (Runway Visual Range), but not the decision height (DH).

A pilot must carefully assess the impact of equipment failures before attempting a second approach.

The Pilot in Command (PIC) is responsible for performing take-offs and landings in low visibility conditions, including practice autolands in CAT I conditions.

An air traffic control (ATC) clearance is required before attempting a CAT II/III approach and must not be attempted without it.

The Pilot in Command (PIC) must review weather information, runway and approach lighting availability, radio navigation aids, and RVR equipment availability before a low visibility flight.

Take-off with a runway visual range (RVR) of less than 400 meters is considered a low visibility take-off (LVTO) and requires special procedures.

When weather conditions are lower than CAT I landing minima, a take-off alternate airport is typically required within an hour's flight time, assuming one engine is out of commission.

When visibility is below a certain threshold, typically measured in Runway Visual Range (RVR) or cloud base height, specific procedures are implemented to ensure safe operations. These procedures are known as Low Visibility Procedures.

Before starting a CAT II/III approach, pilots must verify that the Low Visibility Procedures (LVO) are in force, which can include information from the Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) or air traffic control.

The Decision Height (DH) is the lowest altitude during an Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach where the pilot must make a decision. If the pilot doesn't have visual references to the runway at the DH, they must execute a go-around maneuver.

The Take-Off Go-Around procedure is initiated immediately after the aircraft is airborne and the pilot decides to reject the take-off due to various reasons, including low visibility or an obstacle.

Use of TOGA (Take-Off/Go-Around) thrust is mandatory during takeoff to ensure sufficient power for climbing and in the event of a go-around.
