a runway visibility below 800 m.

       (5) For subsection (4), the aerodrome operator must advise the pilot when all aerodrome operator preparations for the initiation of the LVP that are required for low-visibility departures are complete.

23.04 Review of low-visibility procedures

        An aerodrome operator must:

(a) regularly review the aerodrome LVP to ensure their continuing relevance and effectiveness; and

(b) for the reviews — consult and cooperate with local ATC and other persons or organisations involved in relevant LVP operations

23.05 Runway visual range equipment

        If a runway is intended to support an operation mentioned in a paragraph of a row of column 1 of Table 23.05, then the aerodrome operator must:

(a) ensure that the runway has electronic runway visual range (RVR) equipment in at least the places specified in column 2 of the table corresponding to the type of operation; and

(b) confirm with the ATS provider that the ATC tower has suitable RVR display equipment.

Type of operation                                                      Location of electronic RVR sensors
   (a) Take-off operation with                                            (1) Touchdown zone (TDZ)
   visibility < 150 m; or
                                                                          (2) Midpoint zone (MID)
   (b) Precision approach CAT III operation.
                                                                          (3) Stop-end zone (END)
   (a) Take-off operation with a 150 m ≤ visibility < 350 m; or           (1) TDZ

   (b) Precision approach CAT II operation; or                            (2) MID or END

   (c) Special Authorisation CAT II operation
   (a) Precision approach CAT I operation with visibility < 800 m; or     TDZ

   (b) Special Authorisation CAT I operation

Note   Section 23.05 does not prevent an aerodrome operator from installing RVR equipment to support other operations, or installing RVR sensors in locations other than those mentioned in Table 23.05.

23.06 Standards for runways supporting certain precision approach operations

       (1) A runway at an aerodrome must not be nominated for a Special Authorisation (SA) CAT I instrument approach operation unless:

(a) the aerodrome is a controlled aerodrome; and

(b) the runway meets the standards in this MOS for a precision approach runway; and

(c) the runway has electronic RVR equipment in the touchdown zone; and

(d) the runway has a declared landing distance available of at least 1 524 m.

Notes

       1. A runway with an existing CAT II, CAT III or SA CAT II precision approach procedure is automatically eligible for SA CAT I instrument approach operations.

       2. CASA recommends that, where possible, the runway should be equipped with an approach lighting system extending over a distance of at least 720 m from the runway threshold, which is either a precision approach CAT I lighting system or a precision approach CAT II and CAT III lighting system.

       3. The operating minima in each case are dictated by the
