VOR, DME fix, its published waypoint, or a pubUshed minimum GSIA fix, may be used in lieu of an 

outer marker. 

(c) Touchdown zone lights 

(d) Runway centerline lights 

(e) High intensity runway lights 

(f) ALSF-I, ALSF-II, or SSALR approach light system or foreign equivalent. Sequence 

flashing lights, may be inoperative. 

(3) All CAT III fail-operational landing system-equipped aircraft operations using any controlling 

RVR below 600 shall be conducted to airports, which meet U.S. (SMGCS) or ICAO criteria for 

CAT ni operations. 

(4) The crosswind component on the landing runway is less than the airplane flight manual's 

crosswind limitations, or 15 knots or less, whichever is more restrictive. 

(5) All CAT III approaches, once established on the final approach segment (after the final 

approach fix), may continue the approach if the controlling RVR decreases below the applicable 

authorized minima, as appropriate. 

f. Missed Approach Requirements . 

(1) For CAT III approaches using a fail-passive landing system without a rollout control system, 

a missed approach shall be initiated when any of the following conditions exist: 

(a) At the DH, if the pilot has not identified the required visual references with the 

touchdown zone or touchdown zone lights to verify that the aircraft will touch down in the touchdown 

zone.

(b) No later than DH, if any controlling RVR is reported below the lowest authorized 

minima. 

(c) If, after passing the DH, visual reference is lost or a reduction in visual reference occurs 

which prevents the pilot from continuing to verify that the aircraft will touch down in the touchdown 

zone. 

(d) When a failure in the fail-passive landing system occurs prior to touch down. 

(e) If the pilot determines that touch down cannot be safely accomplished within the 

touchdown zone. 

(f) When any of the required elements of the ground system becomes inoperative before 

arriving at the DH. However, CAT III approaches and landings may be continued even though the 

sequence flashers and the approach lights became inoperative. 

(g) The crosswind component at touch down is expected to be greater than 15 knots, or 

greater than the airplane flight manual's crosswind limitations, whichever is more restrictive. 

(2) For CAT III approaches using a fail-passive landing system with a fail-passive rollout control 

system or a fail-operational landing system using either a fail-operational or a fail-passive rollout 

control system, a missed approach shall be initiated at or before DH or AH when any of the 

following conditions exist: 

(a) A failure occurs in one of the redundant systems in the aircraft before reaching the AH. 

(b) Any of the required elements of the ground system becomes inoperative. However, 

CAT III approaches and landings may be continued even though the sequence flashers and the 

approach lights became inoperative. 

(c) The crosswind component at touchdown is expected to be greater than 15 knots, or 

greater than the airplane flight manual's crosswind limitations, whichever is more restrictive. 

(d) If the pilot determines that touch down caimot be safely accomplished within the 

touchdown zone. 

(e) For aircraft using a fail-passive landing system and fail-passive rollout control system: 

(i) At the DH, if the pilot has not identified the required visual references to verily that 

the aircraft will touch down in the touchdown zone of the runway of intended landing. 

(ii) If, after passing the DH, visual reference is lost or a reduction in visual reference 

occurs which prevents the pilot from continuing to verify that the aircraft will touch dovra in the 

touchdown zone. 

(3) The preceding subparagraphs f (1) and (2) do not preclude continuation of a higher minimum 

weather Category approach if the system failures do not affect the systems required for the higher 

approach minimums.

C079 . IFR Lower than Standard Takeoff Minima, 14 CFR Part HQ Control: 04/25/2008 

135 Airplane Operations - U.S. Civil Airports JJ Q Revision: 060 

a. Standard Takeoff Minima are authorized in paragraph C057. The certificate holder is 

authorized to use lower than standard takeoff minima in accordance with the limitations and 

provisions of this operations specification as follows. 

b. Runway Visual Range (RVR) Requirements. RVR reports, when available for a particular 

runway, shall be used for all takeoff operations on that runway. All takeoff operations, based on 

RVR, must use RVR reports from the locations along the runway as follows: 

(1) For operations at or above RVR 1600 (500m): 

(a) The TDZ RVR report, if available, is controlling, 

(b) The mid RVR report may be substituted for an imavailable TDZ report. 

(2) For operations below RVR 1600 (500m): 

(a) A minimum of two operative RVR reporting systems are required. 

(b) All available RVR reports are controlling. 

NOTE: Extremely long runways (e.g., DEN 16R) utilize four RVR sensors: TDZ, mid, rollout, and 

far-end. When a fourth far-end RVR value is reported, it is not contirolling and is not to be used as 

one of the two required operative RVR systems. 

c. Lower Than Standard Takeoff Minima. When takeoff minima are equal to or less than the 

applicable standard takeoff minima, and the operation is conducted in compliance with the provisions 

and limitations of this operations specification, the certificate holder is authorized to use the lower 

than standard minima described herein. 

d. Touchdown zone (TDZ) RVR 1600 (beginning of takeoff roll) or visibility or Runway Visibility 

Value (RW) Vi statute mile, provided one of the following visual aids Usted in d.(l) - (4) is available: 

(1) High intensity runway lights (HIRL). 

(2) Operative runway centerline (CL) lights. 

(3) Serviceable runway centerline marking (RCLM). 

(4) In circumstances when none of the above visual aids are available, visibility or R W Vi 

statute mile may still be used, provided other runway markings or runway lighting provide pilots with 

adequate visual reference to continuously identify the takeoff surface and maintain directional control 

throughout the takeoff roll.
