What is an instrument precision approach runway served by ILS Category II for operations with a decision height?


What is an instrument precision approach runway served by ILS Category II for operations with a decision height? Precision Approach Runway, Category II- An instrument runway served by ILS and visual aids intended for operations down to 30 m (100 feet) decision height and down to an RVR of the order of 400 m.


What is a Category 2 airport?

What is the cat 2 ILS criteria for instrument runways?

(ii) Cat II Operation: A precision instrument approach and landing with a decision height lower than 60m (200ft) but not lower than 30 m (100ft) and a runway visual range not less than 350m.


What is the difference between Cat 1 and Cat 2 ILS?

CAT I relies only on altimeter indications for decision height, whereas CAT II and CAT III approaches use radio altimeter (RA) to determine decision height.


Is LNAV VNAV considered a precision approach?

LNAV approaches are less precise (556m lateral limit) and therefore usually do not allow the pilot to descend to as low an altitude above the runway.
