CHAPTER 15 IFR TAKE-OFF AND LANDING MINIMA

15.01 Purpose
        For subregulation 91.307 (1), this Chapter prescribes:
(a) requirements relating to take-off minima for an aerodrome (the take-off minima requirements); and
(b) requirements relating to landing minima for an aerodrome (the landing minima requirements).

15.02 Definitions for this Chapter
        In this Chapter:
APV means any of the following approach procedures with vertical guidance:
(a) RNP APCH – LNAV/VNAV;
(b) RNP APCH – LPV (decision height at or above 250 ft);
(c) RNP AR APCH – RNP 0.x.
Note   For a RNP AR APCH procedure the minima is represented as RNP 0.x where 0.x refers to the RNP value specific to the final approach segment.
NPA means any of the following non-precision approach procedures:
(a) NDB, VOR or LOC;
(b) RNP APCH – LNAV;
(c) RNP APCH – LP.
PA means any of the following precision approach procedures:
(a) ILS (not including CAT II or CAT III);
(b) GLS;
(c) RNP APCH – LPV (decision height below 250 ft).
Note   Approaches with minima below CAT I precision approach minima, are low-visibility approaches which require specific approvals not covered here. See paragraph 15.09 (1) (a) of the Part 91 Manual of Standards for low-visibility operations.
qualifying multi-engine aeroplane means an IFR multi-engine aeroplane that is:
(a) operated by:
 (i) at least 2 pilots; or
 (ii) if powered by piston engines or turboprop engines, and fitted with operative autofeather — 1 pilot; or
 (iii) if powered by turbojet engines — 1 pilot; and
(b) in the event of an engine failure — capable of maintaining terrain clearance until reaching the minimum height for IFR flight.
qualifying multi-engine rotorcraft means an IFR rotorcraft that:
(a) has a Category A performance supplement; and
(b) is operated to the Category A weights, limitations and procedures contained in the supplement; and
(c) in the event of an engine failure — is capable of maintaining terrain clearance until reaching the minimum height for IFR flight.
visible approach lighting splay means:
(a) for a specified aircraft performance category A or B aircraft — not more than 10 degrees from the runway centreline; or
(b) for a specified aircraft performance category C, D or E aircraft — not more than 5 degrees from the runway centreline.
Note 1   Straight in approaches may be designed up to 30 degrees from runway heading for a Category A or Category B aircraft, and up to 15 degrees from runway heading for a Category C or Category D aircraft, in accordance with the design criteria in ICAO Doc 8618 PAN OPS Vol II.
Note 2   Instrument approach procedures designed with final approach tracks outside of the visible approach lighting
