    FAA Harmonizing - RVR

    Uploaded by

    julio
    This document discusses harmonizing the Terminal Procedure Publication (TPP) Comparable Values of RVR and Visibility Table with the FAA's 8260.3C (TERPS) guidance. Currently, the TPP table is not fully aligned with 8260.3C and can result in unnecessary increases to minimums, potentially causing procedures to fall below minimums or be non-compliant with TERPS circling requirements. The proposal is to update the TPP table to add or modify RVR values to match those specified in 8260.3C, resolving the issues and harmonizing the table with the current TERPS guidance.

    Harmonizing Terminal Procedure Publication (TPP)

    Comparable Values of RVR and Visibility Table


    with 8260.3C (TERPS)

    Presented to: Aeronautical Charting Forum (ACF)


    By: Tony Lawson
    Date: TBD

    Federal Aviation
    Administration
    April 27, 2017…
    8260.3C Harmonization begins with the new Inoperative Components Table

    Federal Aviation 2
    Administration
    Next Up?

    Existing table supported 8260.3B Change 19 and earlier

    Federal Aviation 3
    Administration
    Why update?

    ARGHHH!!!

    Federal Aviation 4
    Administration
    Deficiencies…
    Table does not support 8260.3C

    No support for
    RVR 2600 or 3000

    No support for
    RVR 3200 no longer RVR 5500
    a publishable value
    Value not supported
    No support for by 8260.3C
    RVR 3500

    Excerpt from 8260.3C table 3-3-1

    Federal Aviation 5
    Administration
    Problem…(RVR or ALS out)

    Per TERPS, the minima with lights is RVR 5500 (or 1 SM).
    And also per TERPS, the no light minima is 1 ½ SM.

    But in the event of ALS or RVR out, TPP determines different values.

    Federal Aviation 6
    Administration
    Problem…(RVR or ALS out)

    Do Not Interpolate

    TPP table does not support 5500, and you must round up to 6000,
    therefore the resulting visibility is 1 ¼ SM.

    If RVR is Out… Remember TERPS was only 1 SM.

    Result: Unnecessary increase can cause ‘below minima’ situation


    Result: Procedure WITHOUT RVR does not incur this penalty

    Federal Aviation 7
    Administration
    Problem…(RVR or ALS out)

    Do Not Interpolate

    1. The published visibility (5500) is converted to SM. Since 5500 is not


    supported by the table, 6000 is used, and the visibility before use of
    the inop table is 1 ¼ SM.
    2. The inop table specifies an increase of ½ SM.
    If ALS is Out…
    3. Resulting no light visibility is 1 ¾ SM.

    Remember TERPS was only 1 ½ SM.

    Result: Unnecessary increase can cause ‘belowAviation


    Federal minima’ situation
    Result: Procedure WITHOUT RVR does not incur this penalty 8
    Administration
    Problem…(Circling…Not Compliant with TERPS)

    Per TERPS, the CAT A/B S-LOC 13R visibility is RVR 5500 (or 1 SM).
    Also……….Per TERPS, Circling minimum cannot be lower than the
    associated straight-in minimums.

    But the TPP Table will inadvertently cause the straight-in minima to be higher than
    the circling minima (not compliant with TERPS).

    Federal Aviation 9
    Administration
    Problem…(Circling…Not Compliant with TERPS)

    Do Not Interpolate

    TPP table does not support 5500, and you must round up to 6000,
    therefore the resulting visibility is 1 ¼ SM.

    If RVR is Out… Resulting visibility is higher than Circling.

    But remember, the TERPS visibility was RVR 5500 or 1 SM…

    Result: Unnecessary increase causes non-complianceFederal


    with TERPS
    Aviation 10
    Result: Situation does not occur for procedures WITHOUT RVR
    Administration
    Harmonize TPP Table
    These situations (and others) would not occur if the TPP table were harmonized with TERPS.

    Changes:
    1. Added RVR 2600 (1/2 SM) per 8260.3C.
    2. Changed RVR 3200 to RVR 3000 per 8260.3C.
    3. Added RVR 3500 (5/8 SM) per 8260.3C.
    4. Added RVR 5500 (1 SM) per 8260.3C.
    5. Changed RVR 6000 (1 ¼ SM) to RVR 6000 (1 1/8 SM) per 8260.3C.
