(6) Either the registration marks are listed in the operations specifications or in the operations manual. In the latter case, the related operations specifications must make a reference to the related page in the operation manual. In case not all specific approvals apply to the aircraft model, the registration marks of the aircraft may be entered in the remark column to the related specific approval. (7) Other type of transportation to be specified (e.g. emergency medical service). (8) Listing of geographical area(s) of authorised operation (by geographical coordinates or specific routes, flight information region or national or regional boundaries).

(10) List in this column the most permissive criteria for each approval or the approval type (with appropriate criteria). (11) Insertion of applicable precision approach category: LTS CAT I, CAT II, OTS CAT II, CAT IIIA, CAT IIIB or CAT IIIC. Insertion of minimum runway visual range (RVR) in meters and decision height (DH) in feet. One line is used per listed approach category. (12) Insertion of approved minimum take-off RVR in metres. One line per approval may be used if different approvals are granted. (13) Not Applicable (N/A) box may be checked only if the aircraft maximum ceiling is below FL290. (14) Extended range operations (ETOPS) currently applies only to two-engined aircraft. Therefore, the not applicable (N/A) box may be checked if the aircraft model has more or less than two engines. (15) The threshold distance may also be listed (in NM), as well as the engine type. (16) Performance-based navigation (PBN): one line is used for each complex PBN specific approval (e.g. RNP AR APCH), with appropriate limitations listed in the “Specifications” and/or “Remarks” columns. Procedure-specific approvals of specific RNP AR APCH procedures may be listed in the operations specifications or in the operations manual. In the latter case, the related operations specifications must have a reference to the related page in the operations manual.
