ILS CAT QUESTIONS

1. Sensitive Area must be cleared of any moving obstacle (taxiing, holding aircraft) as soon as the approaching aircraft is closer to 2 NM from Threshold.

2. FDEdev, regarding CAT II and III there are reference tables with required indications and equipment for this type of operations.

Autopilot (s), Autobrakes,  Automatic Altitude Callouts,  Autothrottle,  Radio Altimeters,  Windshield Wipers just a few to name.

3. Also, FYI training and recurrency at the airlines are conducted and checked with A/P on for CAT II x III being part of the requirements.

1. First you wrote viz less than 2NM, now you are writing, traffic that's less than 2NM out. What do you actually mean?

2. Quite a big lack of knowledge you are displaying with this statement.

3. Thanx. After almost 30 years of airline ops I know the requirements, but apparently you don't. See above, lack of knowledge.

And you are suggesting others to 'brush up' their knowledge? Seriously? 

Over and out

FDEdev,

Thank you for the kind words and your knowledge.

I was just providing some additional information, like this one (under FAA, IACO, CAA etc) too:

During times of reduced ceilings and visibility (800 ft / 2 miles) or during ILS autoland (coupled) approaches pilots are expected to:

    Before takeoff – stop aircraft before entering the critical area while waiting for takeoff.
    After landing – move the aircraft out of the critical area before stopping to receive taxi instructions from the ground controller.

Much larger than the critical area is the sensitive area. Aircraft and vehicles are not allowed in this area when low visibility procedures are in force, since aircraft autoland during this time and therefore the accuracy of the guidance signals provided by the ILS is absolutely critical


 ILS critical/sensitive area

A designated position intended to protect a runway, an obstacle limitation surface, or an ILS critical/sensitive area at which taxiing aircraft and vehicles must stop and hold, unless otherwise authorized by the aerodrome control tower.

 

It's quite disappointing to see people like you with your "experience" making such  statements.
