ANNEX
Regulation (EU) No 139/2014 is amended as follows: (1) Annex I is amended as follows: (a) the following point (16a) is inserted: “(16a) ‘decision altitude’ (‘DA’) or ‘decision height’ (‘DH’) means a specified altitude or height in a 3D instrument approach operation at which a missed approach procedure must be initiated if the required visual reference to continue the approach has not been established;”; (b) point (22) is replaced by the following: “(22) ‘instrument runway’ means one of the following types of runways intended for the operation of aircraft using instrument approach procedures: 1.
‘non-precision approach runway’: a runway served by visual aids and at least one non-visual aid, intended for landing operations following a type A instrument approach operation; 2.
‘precision approach runway, category I’: a runway served by visual aids and at least one non-visual aid, intended for landing operations following a type B CAT I instrument approach operation; 3.
‘precision approach runway, category II’: a runway served by visual aids and at least one non-visual aid, intended for landing operations following a type B CAT II instrument approach operation; 4.
‘precision approach runway, category III’: a runway served by visual aids and at least one non-visual aid, intended for landing operations following a type B CAT III instrument approach operation;”; (c) the following point (24c) is inserted: ‘(24c) ‘low-visibility operations (LVOs)’ means approach or take-off operations on a runway with a runway visual range less than 550 m or a decision height less than 200 ft;’; (d) point (25) is replaced by the following: “(25) ‘low-visibility procedures’ means procedures applied at an aerodrome for the purpose of ensuring safety during low-visibility operations;”; (e) point (26) is replaced by the following: “(26) ‘low-visibility take-off (LVTO)’ means a take-off with a runway visual range less than 550 m;”; (f) point (27) is deleted; (g) the following point (34c) is inserted: ”(34c) ‘operation with operational credits’ means an operation using specific aircraft or ground equipment, or a combination of aircraft and ground equipment which allows any of the following elements: (a) the application of lower than standard aerodrome operating minima for a particular classification of operation; (b) visibility requirements can be satisfied or reduced; (c) fewer ground facilities are required;”; (h) point (35) is deleted; (i) point (47b) is replaced by the following: “(47b) ‘Type B instrument approach operation’ means an instrument approach operation with a decision height below 75 m (250 ft) categorised as follows: 1.
Category I (CAT I): a decision height not lower than 60 m (200 ft) and with either a visibility not less than 800 m or a runway visual range not less than 550 m;
