a)Establishment of more direct routes permitting a reduction in flight distances;
b) Establishment of dual or parallel routes to accommodate a greater flow of en-route traffic;
c) Establishment of bypass routes for aircraft overflying high-density terminal areas;
d) Establishment of optimum locations for holding patterns; and
e) Reduction in the number of ground navigation facilities

It is prepared in accordance with CAR section 2 series O part 14.
This maual complements the policies and requirements as laid down in DGCA approved CAME.
AIRBUS A320 is equipped with dual auto land system and is certified for performing CAT II & III operations by Airbus Industries

CAT II or CAT III operation is dependent on following 4 elements :

1. Aircraft approval
2. Airfield capability
3. Flight crew should be qualified
4. Operator should have the approval
Indigo fleet of A320 is approved by DGCA for low visibility operations under the following terms and conditions.
Landing capacbility of Aircraft will be displayed on FMA in terms of CAT2, CAT3 single or CAT 3 dual. It depends upon the servi

CAT II - RVR 300m DH : 100ft
CAT IIIA - RVR 175m DH : 50ft
CAT IIIB - RVR 75m DH : NO DH
Take off : RVR 125m
Auto Land System
- This system provides automatic control of the airplane during approch and landing.
CAT 3 single - Fail passive system - If during autoland failure happens, the manual landing has to be performed.
CAT 3 dual - Fail operational sytem - If during autoland failure happens before the AH, the PIC has to go for go-around and If fa
Decision Height (DH) or Decision Altitude (DA)
A specified altitude or height in the precision approach at which a missed approach must be initiated if the required visual refe
Decision Altitude is reference to the Mean sea level (MSL) and Decision height is referenced to the threshold elevation.
Runway Visual Range (RVR)
The range over which the pilot of an aircraft on the centerline of the runway can see the runway surface marking or light, delin
Categories of ILS and its limits
CAT I - RVR not less then 550m DH : not lower then 200 ft
CAT II - RVR not less then 300m DH : 200 ft - 100 ft
CAT IIIA - RVR not less then 175m DH : lower then 100 ft or NO DH
CAT IIIB - RVR less then175m but not less then 50 m DH : lower then 50 ft or NO DH

CAT IIIC - NO RVR and NO DH limitation.

Note: Where the decision height and runway visual range (RVR) do not fall within the same Category, either the decision heigh
operation will be in the Category with the lower minima.
The aircraft capability shall be downgraded if the aircraft has not performed CAT II/III operations for a period of 30 days.
Alert Height
- An alert height is a height above the runway based on the characteristics of the airplane and its fail operational automatic lan

- AH is appicable only for CAT IIIB landing
- Higher the alert hight, more chances of Aircraft to land with autoland.
- AH depends only on the Aircraft capabilities of landing
- AH for A320 is 100 ft

Transmissometer
- It is the instrunent used to measure the RVR.
- Normally three transmissometers are provided, one at each end of the runway and one at the midpoint

AUTOLAND warning light

- Below 200 ft RA, an Autoland red light flashes in case of failures that require the interruption of an automatic landing.
