INTRODUCTION
This file is presented to the authorities in support of the airline's application to obtain
operational approval to conduct CAT II and CAT III operations with the Airbus
A320-211 on the aerodromes listed in Appendix to this file. This application is the
airline initial application to perform CAT II and CAT III operations.
The project will be conducted in steps, starting from CAT Il to full CAT III B
operations.

AIRCRAFT REQUIREMENTS
6.2.1
CERTIFICATION STATUS
The A320-211 in the airline fleet are certified for the intended operations in
compliance with:
Automatic approach with DH below 200ft but not less than 100 ft
The A320-211 is certified to conduct CAT II approaches provided that:
The CAT II approach capability has been demonstrated on CAT II or CAT III ILS
quality beam.
A CAT II automatic approach can be followed, if visual references are sufficient, by
a manual or an automatic landing.
- 167 -
Automatic approach with DH below 100ft but not less than 50ft
The A320-211 is certified to conduct fail passive CAT III approaches provided that:
The CAT III approach capability has been demonstrated for CAT II and CAT III ILS
quality beam.
Automatic approach with DH below 50ft but not less than the MABH or NO DH
The A320-211 is certified to conduct fail operational CAT III approaches provided:
The CAT III approach capability has been demonstrated for CAT II and CAT III ILS
quality beam.
In addition, for both CAT II and CAT III operation, the relevant AFM limitations,
normal procedures and abnormal procedures will be observed.
AFM extracts are given in appendix to this file.
6.2.2
The CAT II or CAT III capability is available provided the equipment listed in the
relevant AFM list of equipment is operative.
AFM extracts are given in appendix to this file.
If the aircraft is dispatched with equipment inoperative, the MEL may preclude
CAT II or CAT III operations as appropriate.

6.2.3
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
On all Airbus aircraft, CAT II / CAT III capabilities are inherent functions of the basic
design standard. Therefore, related tasks are covered by the Airbus Maintenance
Program. There is no special recommendation for scheduled maintenance tasks or
functional checks to assure CAT II / CAT III capabilities.
A program for unscheduled maintenance is established based on the Airbus
Maintenance Manual to advise corrective actions / procedures necessary after an
automatic landing failure or associated component failure.
A reliability program for the required equipment has been established to monitor the
system operational status.
The aircraft status is primarily governed by status messages displayed on ECAM
STATUS page and FMA display of capability. However, crew entry in the Technical
Log Book will take precedence.
A log entry will be made if full (CAT 3 DUAL) capacity is not available. A
downgrading / upgrading procedure has been established and is used.
