What is the minimum RVR for a Cat 2 approach?


What is the minimum RVR for a Cat 2 approach? The minimum for ILS approaches to CAT II runways is 100 feet DH/RVR 1200, regardless of published lower minimums. Passengers or property cannot be carried for compensation or hire. The LOA requires an operational check of the ILS equipment within the last 15 flight hours and 15 calendar days before flight.


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.


What is the minimum RVR for Cat 1?

The Runway Visual Range (RVR) for Category I operations are between 550 metres (1800 feet) and 800 metres (2600 feet) for ICAO and FAA, depending on the conditions of the approach and equipment.


What is the maximum RVR value?

Reportable values are RVR 6,000 feet or less. When it is determined from a reliable source that the indicated RVR value differs by more than 400 feet from the actual conditions within the area of the transmissometer, the RVR data is not acceptable and must not be reported.


What if RVR is less than visibility?

If visibility is less than the lowest reportable RVR value, an M is placed in front of it. Here, M0600 indicates the RVR for runway 18R is less than 600 feet. And if the visibility is greater than the highest reportable value, a P is placed in front of it.
