ED Decision 2022/007/R

(See AMC AWO.B.CATIII.127(a))

The AFM shall state the following:

(a) limitations, including the minimum crew, alert height, the DHs for which the aeroplane is certified, etc. (see AMC AWO.B.CATIII.127(a));

(b) the permitted configurations (e.g. flap setting, number of engines operating);

(c) the normal and abnormal procedures (see AMC2 AWO.B.CATIII.121);

(d) changes to the performance information, if necessary (e.g. the approach speed, landing distance required, go-around climb);

(e) the minimum required equipment including flight instrumentation (see CS AWO.B.CATIII.113 and CS AWO.B.CATIII.114);

(f) the height loss for go-around initiation heights below 30 m (100 ft), determined in accordance with AMC AWO.B.CATIII.112 paragraph 2a; and

(g) the type of xLS navigation means (facilities external to the aircraft) and associated limitations (if any) which have been used as the basis for certification (see AMC AWO.B.CATIII.127(g)).

AMC AWO.B.CATIII.127(a) Aeroplane flight manual

ED Decision 2022/007/R

Actual RVR minima to be used are subject to applicable operating regulations and may vary from one Member State to another taking account of local circumstances. For this reason, RVR minima should not be included in the aeroplane flight manual (AFM) as limitations. To aid operational assessment and the establishment of landing minima, the RVR values encountered during airworthiness certification should be given. In particular, the RVR values that are encountered during the certification of automatic or HUD ground-roll guidance should be provided in order to enable operational credits.

AMC AWO.B.CATIII.127(g) Aeroplane flight manual

ED Decision 2022/007/R

The aeroplane flight manual (AFM) may contain a statement that the categories of xLS ground facilities which have been used as the basis for certification should not be taken as a limitation. In that case, the AFM should also contain a statement that some Category I xLS ground facilities may be suitable for use by the approach and landing system.
