for operations with no DH or RVR limitations.

Note 1   Instrument approach procedures are classified as follows:
       (a) Non-precision approach (NPA) procedure: an instrument approach procedure designed for 2D instrument approach type A operations.
       (b) Approach procedure with vertical guidance (APV): a performance-based navigation (PBN) non-precision instrument approach procedure designed for 3D instrument approach type A operations.
       (c) Precision approach (PA) procedure: an instrument approach procedure based on navigation systems (ILS, MLS, GLS and SBAS CAT I) designed for 3D instrument approach type A or B operations.
Note 2   When preparing or nominating their infrastructure to support the desired aircraft operation, the aerodrome operator determines the classification of instrument runway for which the runway is to be nominated provided that the relevant standards in this MOS are achieved. A certified designer under Part 173 of CASR may then be tasked to design the optimal terminal instrument flight procedure to the capabilities of the instrument runway.

Note 3   Special Authorisation Category operations may only be utilised by aircraft operators who meet specific requirements for flight crew competency, aircraft capability and any conditions relevant to the terminal instrument flight procedure.

Note 4   The visual aids provided need not necessarily be matched to the scale of the non-visual aids provided. CASA recommends that visual aids should be determined based on the requirements for the intended classification of operation and in consultation with the aircraft operators for whom it is intended to be utilised.

intermediate holding position means a designated holding position for traffic control, at which taxiing aircraft and vehicles:

        1.    must stop and hold only if so instructed by the aerodrome control tower; and

        2.    if so stopped, must not proceed until given clearance by the aerodrome control tower.

international aerodrome means an aerodrome:

(a) designated by the Department as an international airport in Australia (a designated international airport in Australia); and

(b) identified as a designated international airport in Australia on the Department's website.

Note   Generally, scheduled international air transport operations are conducted only at international aerodromes. The list of designated international airports in Australia may be accessed by navigating from the following link: https://infrastructure.gov.au/aviation/international/icao/desig_airports.aspx.

international air transport operation means an international air transport operation whether or not it is conducted in accordance with a published schedule.

jet blast means the thrust force from an aircraft jet or turbofan engine when the aircraft is on or close to the ground.

LAHSO means land and hold short operations.

landing area means that part of a movement area for the landing or take-off of aircraft.

landing distance available (LDA) means the length of runway (RWY) available for the ground run of a landing aeroplane. The LDA commences at the runway threshold.
