Hi,
Hope you can share your interpretation of EASA Air Operations AMC11 CAT.OP.MPA.110 Aerodrome operating minima (b)(1). It says:
multiple failures of runway/FATO lights other than indicated in Table 9 should not be acceptable;
So, this would imply that an ILS CAT I approach to a runway where both the RCLL and TDZL have failed is not possible, as this is a multiple failure of elements in table 9.
On the other hand, it is possible to land on a CAT I runway where RCLL and TDZL are not installed, so these cannot fail.
ICAO Annex 14 does not require RCLL and TDZL for CAT I runways. And EASA AMC5 CAT.OP.MPA.100 (a)(4)(ii) allows a CAT I with RVR less than 750 m without RTZL and without RCLL if the approach is flown with e.g. FD to a DH.
But the multiple failure restriction in table 9 seems to be limiting.
And am I correct that the only multiple failure indicated in table 9 is the line "Edge lights, threshold lights and runway end lights"?
Many thanks for your help in advance.
Erik
