PERFORMANCE

CS AWO.A.ALS.106 Performance demonstration

ED Decision 2022/007/R (a) The automatic landing system, under the conditions for which its use is to be a pproved, shall be demonstrated to achieve the performanc e accuracy and the limits in point (c) below and taking into account at least the following variables: (1) c onfigurations of the aeroplane (e.g. flap settings); (2) c entre of gravity; (3) l anding weig ht; (4) c onditions of wind, turbulence and wind shear (see AMC AWO.A.ALS.106 , paragraph 3); (5) x LS characteristics (see AMC AWO.A.ALS.106 , paragraph 4); and (6) s ystem tolerances.

If limitations are necessary in respect of any of these variables, then these shall be established.

(b) T he accuracy limits of point (c) below shall be de monstrated by a combination of: (1) a n analysis (e.g. by simulation) considering rea sonable combina tions of variables listed in point (a) and in AMC AWO.A.ALS.106 ); and (2) v alidation of any simulation /analysis by flight test demonstrations (using either statist ical or deterministic methods).

(c) It shall be shown that the touchdown performance will be such that exceedance of any of the limits prescribed in this provision will be improbable (see AMC AWO.A.ALS.106 , paragraph 1.4 for acceptable values for the actual probability level) when the variables follow their expected distribution and also when one of the variables is at its most critical value while the others vary in their expected manner: (1) l ongitudinal touchdown earlier than a point on the runway 60 m (200 ft) from the threshold; (2) l ongitudinal touchdown beyond the end of the touchdown zone (TDZ) lighting, 823 m (2 700 ft) from the threshold; (3) l ateral touchdown with the outboard landing gear greater than 21 m (70 ft) from runway centr e line. This value assumes a 45 - m (150 - ft) runway. It may be appropriately changed if: (i) operation is limited in the AFM to wider runways, or to runways with load - bearing shoulders; or (ii) operation to narrower runways is requested and permitted; (4) structural limit load; and (5) b ank angle resulting in hazard to the aeroplane .

AMC AWO.A.ALS.106 Performance demonstration

ED Decision 2022/007/R 1 General 1.1 The analysis referred to in CS AWO.A.ALS.106(b)(1) should: a. e stablish compliance with the performance lim its specified in CS AWO.A.ALS.106(c) ; N ote : When systems employing automatic control of ground roll are provided, addit ional analysis may be required.

b. d etermine any limitations on the use of the system for compliance with the per formance limits of CS AWO.A.ALS.106(c) (see CS AWO.A.ALS.114 ); and c. p rovide, if appropriate, information necessary for the calculation of the required landing distance (see CS AWO.A.ALS.109 ).

1.2 A ccount should be taken of the variation of wind speed, turbulence, x LS beam characteristics, system performance variation and flight crew procedures. System performance variations due to equipment tolerances (e.g. datum shifts and gain changes) should be investigated taking into account setting up procedures and monitoring practices. Acceptable models of wind, turbulence and wi nd shear are given in paragraph 3. x LS signal - in - space chara cteristics are given in paragraph 4.

1.3 In accordance wi th CS AWO.A.ALS.107 , the effects of aerodrome conditions (e.g.

elevation, ambient temperature, touchdown zone slope and ground profile under the approach path) are to be investigated and, if necessary, appropriate limitations derived for inclusion in the AFM . For the purpose s of this assessment, the touchdown zone slope is considered to be the slope of the runway between threshold up to 900 m from the runway threshold. Gu idance is given in paragraph 5.

1.4 Acceptable values for the probabilities of exceedance of the limits of CS AWO.A.ALS.106(c) are as follows (t hese values may be varied where the characteristics of a particular aeroplane justify such variation): Average Limit - 6 - 5 a. Longitudinal touchdown earlier than a point on the 10 10 runway 60 m (200 ft) from the threshold.

- 6 b. (i). Longitudinal touchdown beyond the end of the 10 Not applicable touchdown zone (TDZ) lighting, 823 m (2700 ft) from the threshold.

- 5 (ii). Longitudinal touchdown beyond the end of the Not applicable 10 touchdown zone (TDZ) lighting, 914 m (3000 ft) from the threshold.

- 6 - 5 c. Lateral touchdown with the outboard landing gear 10 10 greater than 21 m (70 ft) from the runway centre line, assuming a 45 m (150 ft) runway.

- 6 - 5 d. Structural limit load (see paragraph 1.4.1) . 10 10 - 7 - 6 e. Bank angle such that the wing tip , engine nacelle or 10 10 propeller touch the ground before the wheels .

Note 1: The ‘Average’ column is the acceptable probability of exceedance where all the variables vary according to their probability distributions. The ‘Limit’ column is the acceptable Powered by EASA eRules Page 24 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART A – ENABLING EQUIPMENT Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 1 – AUTOMATIC LANDING SYSTEMS (ALSs) probability of exceedance if one variable is held at its most adverse value, wh ile the other variables vary according to their probability distributions. In the case where a wind variable is held at its most adverse value, the acceptable probability of exceedance should be taken as the average column factored by the cumulative probab ility of reported wind as defined in Figure 15 of Appendix 1 to the AMC to Subpart A ‘MODELS’ .

Note 2: For HUDLSs, an alternative means of compliance for CS AWO.A.ALS.106(c) may be used.

One acceptable means of compliance is given in paragraph 1.4.2 of this AMC.

1.4.1 An acceptable means of establishing that the structural limit load is not exceeded is to show separa tely and independently that: a. the sink rate at touchdown does not exceed the limit rate of descent used for certification under CS - 25 Subpart C, or 10 ft per second, whichever is the greater; and b. the lateral side load does not exceed the limit value d etermined for the lateral drift landing condition defined in CS 25.479(d)(2).

1.4.2 For HUDLSs, where the total wind strength has been shown to be the most critical parameter affecting performance, an alternative means of compliance for CS AWO.A.ALS.106(c) may be used.

An acceptable method, based on the demonstration of 80 approaches performed in a simulator at limiting wind conditions using a representative wind model, covering 8 cardinal points, has been shown to provide adequate demonstration of system robustness, provided that the resulting go - around rate does not exceed 20 %.

1.5 Acceptance limits for automatic speed holding are ±9.3 km/h (±5 kt) (two standard deviations) of programmed airspeed (disregarding ra pid airspeed fluctuations associated with turbulence) under all intended flight conditions.

2 Flight d emonstrations 2.1 A programme of landings should be completed sufficient to demonstrate the validity of the simulation and support the conclusions of the analysis.

N ote : Typically, programmes of 100 landings have been used.

Data taken during demonstration flight tests should be used to validate the simulation(s).

The objective of a flight test programme should be to demonstrate performance of the system to 100 % of the steady state wind limit values that are used in the simulation statistical performance analysis.

Nevertheless, if during the flight test campaign it is not possible to flight - test 100 % of the steady state wind limit, the applicant m ay request acceptance that the simulation be validated, if at least four landings are accomplished during flight test at no less than 80 % of the intended limit steady state wind value (i.e. mean wind), and if it has been shown that the landing system is s ufficiently robust near the desired AFM wind limits for which application is made.

The robustness of autoland will be assessed as sufficient if: — the analysis of the automatic landing system behaviour encountered during flight tests for the four landings selected by the applicant shows satisfactory margins in authority and performance; Powered by EASA eRules Page 25 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART A – ENABLING EQUIPMENT Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 1 – AUTOMATIC LAN DING SYSTEMS (ALSs) — the analysis of the matching between flight test and simulation for the four landings selected by the applicant shows satisfactory correlation; if the four landings flight - tested show satisfactory margins and performance, the matching requested may be limited to a subset of the four landings selected; — aircraft loading conditions flown during the four landings (weight and centre of gravity (CG)) are sufficiently close to the sizing conditions that would have an influence on wind demonstration limits (sizing conditions in terms of unfavourable combination of weight and CG as defined in the certification flight test programme); and — the analysis of the automatic landing s ystem behaviour during simulation with the steady state wind limit value (i.e. mean wind), at the wind limit requested, shows remaining margins for performance.

The steady state wind limit value can be determined by one of the following: a. mean wind value + half gust, as reported by air traffic control (ATC); or b. mean wind recorded by the flight test instrumentation, i.e. average of the wind recorded for 20 seconds around the touchdown point and recomputed at 33 ft, with the following additional consider ations: • additional credit can be taken for the maximum average wind demonstrated during the flight test if the gust encountered during flight test shows a higher intensity than the one tested during simulation (meaning the wind increase to the average wi nd is higher during flight test compared to the simulation); • in this case, to give a revised maximum average wind demonstrated during flight test, the mean wind recorded by the flight test instrumentation may be increased by the difference between flight - tested and simulation - tested gust intensity; c. the calculated mean wind plus the maximum gust recorded by flight test instrumentation throughout the landing.

The maximum gust may be calculated using a 3 - second moving average filter in the instantaneous c alculated wind from a height of 50 ft to the termination of the test event or an airspeed such that all data necessary for the computation is available and of sufficient accuracy. The measured wind should be corrected from the height of the measurement dev ice to a height of 33 ft.

2.2 Individual landings should be carried out to demonstrate that errors, which can reasonably be expected to occur, are not hazardous ; for example: — landing with approach speed 9.3 k m/h (5 kt) below the specified speed, and — landin g with approach speed 18.5 k m/h (10 kt) above the specified speed.

3 Wind Model for Approach Simulation In carrying out the analysis described in paragraph 1, one of the wind, turbulence and wind shear models contained in Appendix 1 to the AMC to Subpart A may be used .

Powered by EASA eRules Page 26 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART A – ENABLING EQUIPMENT Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 1 – AUTOMATIC LANDING SYSTEMS (ALSs) 4 Models of x LS s ignals - in - s pace for use in a pproach s imulations 4.1 Automatic landing system evaluation , including computer analysis of system performance , should be based on the use of x LS ground facilities, which meet the performance characteristics, listed herein.

4.2 Analysis of results of in - flight demonstrations may include subtraction of measured signal - in - space signal errors, and treatment of the contribution of the signal - in - space error on a probability basis . (See CS AWO .A.ALS.106(b)(2) .)

4.3. In carrying out any analysis, the models contained in Appendix 1 to the AMC to Subpart A should be utilised.

5 Aerodrome c onditions 5.1 Elevation and t emperature The effects of aerodrome elevation and ambient temperature should be examined where operation is en visaged at aerodromes ab ove 750 m (2 500 ft) or in temper atures greater than International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) + 15°C.

5.1.1 High - altitude landing system demonstration using simulation 5.1.1.1 The following describes an acceptable means to demonstrate performance of landing systems at high altitude with a combination of flight test results and validated simulation. The aerodrome elevation at which satisfactory performan ce of the landing system has been demonstrated by this method may then be documented in the AFM. The flight test demonstration is considered as the primary source of data, which can then be supplemented with data from a validated simulation.

5.1.1.2 The mi nimum required altitude or elevation for the flight test which is used to demonstrate a desired AFM elevation value, by this method, is shown in Figure 2 and the accompanying table below. For example, the applicant may document an AFM elevation value of 8 000 ft, by a successful flight demonstration at 8 000 ft, or by a flight demonstration at a minimum elevation of 5 000 ft with a simulation to the desired 8 000 ft.

Note: The lines in Figure 2 converge at 11 000 ft, indicating that credit for simulation is not available at 11 000 ft or above.

The atmospheric temperature and pressure during the flight test, for either method, should not be more favourable than the ISA conditions, to ensure that the density altitude is not lower than the aerodrome elevation. When the density altitude value of the flight test is lower than the aerodrome elevation, then the density altitude value should be used as the effective flight - test - demonstrated elevation which will decrease the maximum AFM elevation value.

5.1.1.3 Establ ishing a baseline of landing system performance, for the purposes of subsequently using simulation to obtain a high - altitude approval, will require a sufficient programme of landings at the flight - test - demonstrated elevation shown in Figure 2, to demonstra te the validity of the simulation and to support the conclusions of the analysis.

Note: Typically, programmes of 10 – 15 landings should be used.

Powered by EASA eRules Page 27 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART A – ENA BLING EQUIPMENT Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 1 – AUTOMATIC LANDING SYSTEMS (ALSs) An alternative method for simulation validation may be used if found acceptable by EASA.

5.1.1.4 A simulation ma y then be conducted with cases at the selected AFM elevation value with the range of atmospheric conditions listed below. A sensitivity analysis should be conducted to ensure that performance is not unsafe near any limits. Unless otherwise found acceptable by EASA, simulation cases should typically include the following: a. temperatures ranging from ISA value to ISA +40°C; b. barometric pressure ranging from ISA value for that elevation to ISA – 50 hPa; and c. mean wind variations, including: — headwinds to at least 25 kt; — crosswinds to at least 15 kt; and — tailwinds to at least 10 kt.

An acceptable programme should include approximately 10 – 15 approaches and landings, conducted with an instrumented aircraft, in conditions covering the range of operatio nal weight, centre of gravity (CG), and aircraft configuration. One - engine - inoperative conditions should also be considered, if relevant. The recorded data should allow the assessment of touchdown performance (i.e. touchdown distance, lateral deviation and vertical speed).

5.2 Ground p rofile 5. 2 .1 Where use is made of height above ground indicators that depends on the ground profile (such as radio - altimeter signals) in the automatic landing system, any effects of the ground profile before the runway or along the runway on the performance of the system should be examined.

5. 2 .2 The family of profiles to be investigated should take due account of the way in which the system uses the height above ground indicator (such as radio - altimeter signals) at different he ights on the approach. Terrain and runway up slopes, down slopes and other terrain irregul arities should be investigated.

N ote : I nformation on the characteristics of aerodromes is contained in ICAO Annex 14. The e xamination of a number of aerodromes used f or automatic landing has shown that the followi ng features may be encountered: a. s loping runway – slopes of 0 . 8 %; b. h illtop runway – 1 2·5 % slope up to a point 60 m prior to the threshold; or c. s ea - wall – 6 m (20 ft) step up to threshold elevation at a point 60 m prior to the threshold.

5.2.3 Performance demonstration on a particular runway The acceptable average values for probabilities of exceedance limits of CS AWO.ALS.106 provided in paragraph 1.4 consider all possible runways where the aircraft can be operated. When considering a particular aerodrome some factors identified in paragraphs 1.2 and 1.4 are known (e.g. altitude, runway length, specific ILS characteristics, touchdown zone and pre - r unway threshold longitudinal profile, etc.). In order to assess adequate performance on a particular runway, limit risks can be used as success criteria, having all other parameters varying within their approved limits unless specific restrictions apply to this runway.

6 Fog model For simulator testing associated with the certification of HUDLSs, the applicant may propose a fog model. The proposed fog model will have to be acceptable to EASA.

ED Decision 2022/007/R 1 The i dentification of a critical engine should consider the effects on performance, han dling, loss of systems, and autoland status. More than one engine may be critical for different reasons.

2 If the aeroplane configuration and operation are the same as those used in the performance demonstration of CS AWO.A.ALS.106 for the all - engine operating case, compliance with CS AWO.A.ALS.108 may be demonstrated by, typically, 10 to 15 landings, or by statistical analysis supported by flight test if the aeroplane co nfiguration or operation is changed significantly from the all - engine operating case.

3 If the aeroplane configuration and operation are not the same as for the all - engine operating case, the effect on landing dista nce will need to be considered.

4 To aid planning for automatic landing with an inoperative engine, appropriate procedures, performance, and obstacle clearance information will need to be established enabling a safe go - aroun d at any point in the approach.

AMC AWO.A.ALS. 109 Automatic landing distance

ED Decision 2022/007/R The landing distance referred to in CS AWO.A.ALS.109 may be derived as follows: (a) The configuration procedure and speed should be those recommended for an automatic landing.

(b) The distance from the runway threshold to the touchdown point should be the distance from the runway threshold to the glideslope origin (S ) plus the mean distance from the glideslope O origin to touchdown (S ) plus three times the standard deviation of the distance from the TD glideslope origin to touchdown σ (S ).

TD (c) The gross distance from touchdown to a complete stop should be determined in accordance with CS 25.125, assuming a touchdown speed equal to the mai n touchdown speed plus three standard deviations of the touchdown speed.

Note: The main values and standard deviations considered in points (b) and (c) should be based on random variations. Systematic variation of parameters should cover the normal range o f flight manual conditions.

The landing distance required should be taken as the distance from the runway threshold to the touchdown point, as defined in (b), factored by 1.15 (i.e. 1.15 (S + S + 3 σ (S )), plus the O TD TD ground - roll distance defined in (c), multiplied by a factor of 1.15.

(d) The landing distance required should include corrections for variations in the glideslope angle and variations in the glideslope height at the threshold. Alternatively, these effects may be included by use of conservati ve assumptions in the basic presentation of data, with the applicable ranges stated in the AFM.

Note: The landing distance as derived in (a) to (d) should be compared with the normal landing distance according to CS 25.125.

AMC AWO.A.HUD.107 Performance demonstration

ED Decision 2022/007/R Runway or aerodrome ground profile considerations for HUDs with flare guidance Where use is made of height above ground indicators that depends on the ground profile (such as ra dio - altimeter signals) in the HUD, any effects of the ground profile before the runway or along the runway on the performance of the system should be examined.

The family of profiles to be investigated should take due account of the way in which the system uses height above ground indicator (such as radio - altimeter signals) at different heights on the approach.

Terrain and runway up slopes, down slopes and other terrain irregularities should be investigated. For the purposes of this assessment, the touchdow n zone slope is considered to be the slope of the runway between threshold up to 900 m from the runway threshold.

Note: Information on the characteristics of aerodromes is contained in ICAO Annex 14. The examination of a number of aerodromes used for autom atic landing has shown that the following features may be encountered: a . sloping runway — slopes of 0.8 %; b. hilltop runway — 12.5 % slope up to a point 60 m prior to the threshold; or c. sea - wall — 6 m (20 ft) step up to threshold elevation at a point 60 m prior to the threshold.

Where approval is sought for the use of a head - up guidance landing system (HUDLS), to show compliance with CS AWO.B.CATIII.115 , it will be necessary to use a simulator with an ac ceptable visual system which accurately represents the real aeroplane, in particular the handling qualities, the ground effect, the fog structure and the cut - off angle. A moving - base simulator is thought to be necessary, and consideration of the effect of the structural response of the airframe to turbulence may be necessary to achieve a realistic simulation of the effect of turbulence on the flight deck.

Where a HUDLS is used for primary guidance (HUD manual landing) for Category III operations, it may be expected that at least 500 simulated landings will be necessary and that 100 or more landings by the real aeroplane will be made. At least 10 pilots of varying background and experience should be employed for both simulator and flight tests. They should be given appropriate training in the use of the HUDLS. No pilot should perform more than 8 consecutive landings without a break of at least 1 hour.

Monte Carlo techniques should be considered where applicable.

The limit risk demonstration, whilst suitable fo r autoland certification, has been found to be unsuitable for head - up guidance certification. An acceptable alternative, assuming that wind is the most critical parameter, is to perform 10 simulated approaches and landings in limiting winds from each of th e 8 cardinal points of the compass (a total of 80 runs), and demonstrate that the failure rate does not exceed 20 %.

AMC AWO.A.ALS.106 contains additional performance demonstration aspects for HUDLSs.

(3) ‘flare guidance’ : provides explicit command guidance for the pilot to flare the aircraft from the initiation of the manoeuvre until touchdown.

(b) The term ‘flare cue’ is used in this AMC as a general term that describes either a ‘flare prompt’ or ‘flare guidance’.

(c) The determination of the landing distance when using a HUD or equivalent display should be performed when one of the following features are part of the intended design: (1) flare guidance; (2) a flare prompt in combination with flare guidance; or (3) a flare prompt, if the height at which the flare is prompted differs from the one at which the landings without using the HUD or equivalent display are performed to the extent that it could have an impact on the landing distance.

(d) A flare cue provided on a HUD or equivalent display is typically provided in the vertical axis by means of a symbol that prompts the pilot to initiate the flare at a suitable moment, and can guide the pilot to control the vertical fli ght path to touchdown.

(e) For a HUD or equivalent display that is used for landing and designed to provide display features such as a flare cue to support the pilot’s task of executing the landing: (1) The landing distance assessment should cover all the conditions scheduled in the AFM, including landing in abnormal conditions and, if applicable, specific operations.

(2) The requirements of CS 25.125 should be applied, except that the configuration, procedure and speed should be those recommended in the as sociated procedures for using a HUD or equivalent display.

(3) The operating procedures, aeroplane configuration, approach speed, thrust management, piloting techniques and the landing distance data applicable for landings using a HUD or equivalent display with a flare cue should be furnished in the AFM.

Powered by EASA eRules Page 42 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART A – ENABLING EQUIPMENT Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 2 – HEAD - UP DISPLAYS (HUDs) (4) The landing distance as derived under (e)(2) should be compared with the landing distance determined without the flare cue (unfactored landing distance as per CS 25.125): (i) If the landing distance usi ng the flare cue is longer than without it, the unfactored landing distance with flare cue is the one derived under (e)(2).

(ii) If the landing distance is the same (flare cue does not modify the air time and speed reduction), then the unfactored landing d istance with flare cue is equal to the landing distance established in accordance with CS 25.125. A minimum factor to be applied to the unfactored landing distance with flare cue should be determined to account for the difference between: (A) the flight pa th angle used in the analysis for compliance with the specifications of CS 25.125 and that which is used for the flare cue (typically – 3.0°); (B) the touchdown sink rate used in the analysis for compliance with the specifications of CS 25.125 and the one as per the intended design of the flare cue.

The AFM should provide the unfactored landing distance with the flare cue and the minimum factor as determined above.

(iii) In any case, the landing distance may not be shorter than the landing distance esta blished in accordance with CS 25.125 without using the flare cue.

associated with the use of the flare cue

ED Decision 2022/007/R (a) For the purpose of the failure assessment of the flare cue in the context of CS 25.1309, it may be necessary to use a simulator with an acceptable visual system, which accurately represents the real aeroplane, in particular the ha ndling qualities, the ground effect, the fog structure, and the cut - off angle (i.e. the angle between the longitudinal axis of the aircraft and an incline plane below up to the limit at which the pilot can view).

(b) The failure assessment of the flare cue should take into account at least the following nominal environmental conditions: (1) minimum visibility / RVR of the operation intended to be certified (e.g. RVR 550m for CAT I, RVR 300m for EFVS - L); (2) day and night conditions; (3) runways with differ ent length and width; (4) runways with different lighting layout (e.g. no centre line lights, no TDZ lights, etc.).

(c) As flare cue failures are expected to be detected by the flight crew using visual cues, a multiple representative population range of fl ight crews should be involved in the failure assessment of the flare cue in the simulator.

[Issue: CS - AWO/2]

AMC AWO.A.EFVS.101 General

ED Decision 2022/0 07/R The functions the enhanced flight vision system (EFVS) is intended to perform should be defined. This definition should include what features will be displayed and the criticality of pilot decision - making when using the display features. The additio nal intended functions (for example, terrain alerting) should be defined according to AMC 25 - 11 as well as CS 23.2500 and CS 25.1301.

This should include the use of the EFVS to visually acquire the visual references required to operate below the DA/H or th e MDA and the criticality of pilot decision - making based on what is visible when using the EFVS display. The purpose of the EFVS is to provide a visual advantage over the pilot’s out - the - window view using natural vision. In low - visibility conditions, the ‘ enhanced flight visibility’ should exceed the ‘flight visibility’, and the required visual references should become visible to the pilot at a longer distance with an EFVS than they would be out - the - window using natural vision. The visual advantage of using an EFVS should be demonstrated before descending below the DA/H or the Powered by EASA eRules Page 46 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART A – ENABLING EQUIPMENT Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 3 – ENHANCED FLIGHT VISION SYSTEMS (EFVSs) MDA because this is the point in an instrument approach procedure where the operating rules permit an EFVS to be used in lieu of natural vision for operational benefits.

Note 1: The EF VS is not intended to replace the technologies or procedures already used to safely fly the aircraft down to the MDA/H or the DA/H.

Note 2: While the goal of the EFVS is to exceed the natural flight visibility in the majority of cases / weather conditions, there may be meteorological conditions where the EFVS does not provide a significant advantage.

Note 3: The HUD (or equivalent display) is separately certified and should remain subject to all applicable rules and guidance for a given category of aircraft and operation.

Databases that are used to support the provision of a synthetic runway (or equivalent) that are provided by a Type 2 DAT provider certified in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/373 or equivalent, and that are compliant with the data quality requirements (DQRs) are considered to be an acceptable means of compliance to CS AWO.A.EFVS .101(f) .

[Issue: CS - AWO/2]

AMC AWO.A.EFVS.103 EFVS depiction

ED Decision 2022/007/R The EFVS image is in the centre of the pilot’s regulated ‘pilot compartment view’. It should be free of interference, distortion, and glare that would adversely affect the pilot’s normal performance and workload. A video image can be more difficult for the pilot to see through than symbols that are also displayed on the HUD. Unlike symbology, the video image illuminates, to some degree, most of the total display area of the HUD with much greater potential interference with the pilot compartment view. It is sufficient for the pilot to see around the video image, but the outside scene must be visible through and around it.

Unlike the pilot’s external view, the EFVS image is a monochrome, two - dimensional display. Some, but not all, of the depth cues found in the natural view are also found in the im agery. The quality of the EFVS image and the level of the EFVS sensor performance could depend significantly on the atmospheric and external light source conditions. Gain settings of the sensor, and brightness or contrast settings of the HUD (or equivalent display), can significantly affect image quality. Certain system characteristics could create distracting and confusing display artefacts. Finally, this is a sensor - based system that is intended to provide a conformal perspective.

The sensor image, combin ed with the required aeroplane state and position reference symbology, is presented to the flight crew on a HUD (or an equivalent display), so that they are clearly visible to the pilot flying in their normal position and line of vision looking forward alo ng the flight path.

Flare cue An EFVS - L should have a flare cue because it is intended to enable landing in low visibility. As regards flare cue, whether a flare prompt or flare guidance, its compliance with AMC AWO.A.H UD.107 should be demonstrated.

Flare guidance provides explicit command guidance for the pilot to flare the aircraft.

A flare prompt advises the pilot when it is time to begin making the control inputs for the flare manoeuvre and transition to landing. A flare prompt does not provide command guidance for manoeuvring the aeroplane with regard to the rate or magnitude of manual inputs, alignment to runway heading nor touching down at a specific point on the runway.

AMC AWO.A.EFVS.104 EFVS display

ED Decision 2022/007/ R The EFVS imagery should not degrade the presentation of essential flight information on the HUD. The pilot’s ability to see and use the required primary flight display information, such as primary attitude, airspeed, altitude, and command bars, should not be hindered or compromised by the EFVS image on the HUD.

The EFVS imagery displayed on the HUD or equivalent display must account for the pilot compartment view requirements found in CS 25.773 or CS 23.2600, including validation that the display of imagery does not conflict with the pilot compartment view. The display of the EFVS sensor imagery should be on a system that compensates for the interference caused by the provided imagery. Additionally, the system should provide an undistorted and conformal view of the external scene, a means to deactivate the display, and should not restrict the pilot from performing specific manoeuvres. The following tasks associated with the use of the pilot’s view should not be degraded below the level of sa fety that existed without the video imagery: (a) Detection, accurate identification and manoeuvring, as necessary, to avoid traffic, terrain, obstacles, and other hazards of flight.

(b) Accurate identification and utilisation of visual references required for every task relevant to the respective phase of flight.

Note: Although the EFVS image requirements relate primarily to the approach and landing phases of flight, the EFVS image, when viewed head - up during ground operations, should not create unacceptabl e distraction to the pilots due to sensor proximity to the taxiway surface .

For EFVSs that are implemented on a HUD, the image should be compatible with the FOV and head motion box of a HUD designed against SAE ARP5288 Transport Category Airplane Head Up D isplay (HUD) Systems. When used in a given phase of flight, the HUD and the EFVS FOR must provide a conformal image with the visual scene over the range of aircraft attitudes and wind conditions.

EFVS display criteria must meet the CS - 23 or CS - 25 airworthi ness specifications (as applicable) (see Appendix 1 to the AMC to Section 3 of Subpart A ). Some of these specifications could be specific to EFVSs and could be in addition to all other requirements applicable to t he HUD and the basic avionics installation. The amount of new test data can be determined by the individual application, availability, and relevance of data.

Powered by EASA eRules Page 51 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART A – ENABLING EQUIPMENT Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 3 – ENHANCED FLIGHT VISION SYSTEMS (EFVSs) The current certification specifications for HUDs apply with respect to EFVSs. These criteria incl ude well - established military as well as civil aviation standards for HUDs as defined in MIL - STD - 1787C Aircraft Display Symbology and in AMC 25 - 11. SAE design standards for HUD symbology, optical elements, and video imagery are also prescribed within SAE A S8055 Minimum Performance Standard for Airborne Head Up Display (HUD), SAE ARP5288 Transport Category Airplane Head Up Display (HUD) Systems, and SAE ARP5287 Optical Measurement Procedures for Airborne Head Up Display (HUD).

The specific design standards f or image size, resolution and line width, luminance and contrast ratio, chromaticity, and grayscale should be applied.

A HUD modified to display EFVS imagery should continue to meet the conditions of the original approval and be adequate for the intended f unction in all phases of flight in which the EFVS is used.

An accurate, easy, quick - glance interpretation of attitude should be possible for all unusual attitude situations and other ‘non - normal’ manoeuvres to permit the pilot to recognise the unusual atti tude and initiate recovery within 1 second. The use of chevrons, pointers, and/or permanent ground - sky horizon on all attitude indications to perform effective manual recovery from unusual attitudes is recommended. Refer to AMC 25 - 11 for guidance on electr onic flight deck displays.

EFVS latency should be no greater than 100 milliseconds (ms). Latency should not be discernible to the pilot and should not affect control performance nor increase pilot workload. EFVS latency causes, at best, undesirable oscilla tory image motion in response to pilot control inputs or turbulence. At worst, EFVS latency may cause pilot - induced oscillations if the pilot attempts to use the EFVS for active control during precision tracking tasks or manoeuvres in the absence of other visual cues.

EFVS field of regard (FOR) The minimum fixed FOR should be 20 degrees horizontally and 15 degrees vertically. In applications where the FOR is centred on the flight path vector (FPV), the minimum vertical FOR should be 5 degrees (± 2.5 degrees ) and 20 degrees horizontally.

(a) The minimum EFVS FOR should not only consider the HUD FOV (i.e. the size of the area that is displayed), but also the area over which this area subtends (i.e. what is shown on the conformal display). The FOR portrayed on the HUD is established by three primary aspects: (1) HUD and EFVS sensor FOV; (2) orientation of the HUD with respect to the aircraft frame of reference (for example, boresight and proximity to pilot’s eye); and (3) orientation (for example, attitude) of t he aircraft, if FOR is centred on FPV.

(b) SAE ARP5288 Transport Category Airplane Head Up Display (HUD) Systems states: ‘The design of the HUD installation should provide adequate display fields - of - view in order for the HUD to function correctly in all an ticipated flight attitudes, aircraft configurations, or environmental conditions such as crosswinds for which it is approved. Limitations should be clearly specified in the AFM if the HUD cannot be used throughout the full aircraft flight envelope.’ A quan titative EFVS FOR should be established as a minimum design criterion to be qualitatively checked during the certification flight test for sufficiency in meeting its intended function. The EFVS FOR should result from consideration of the minimum FOR criter ia for various aircraft attitudes and wind conditions using a critical altitude of 200 ft height above TDZE for EFVS visibility.

(c) A variable FOR is permissible assuming a slewable sensor (i.e. variable FOR), centred on the FPV, with a minimum ±2.5 degre es about the FPV to allow for momentary flight path perturbations and to allow for sufficient fore/aft view of the required visual references.

Powered by EASA eRules Page 52 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART A – ENABLING EQUIPMENT Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 3 – ENHANCED FLIGHT VISION SYSTEMS (EFVSs) Off - axis rejection A source in object space that is greater than 1 degree outside the FOV should not result in any perceptible point or edge - like image within the FOV. The EFVS should preclude off - axis information from folding into the primary FOR imagery, creating the potential for misleading or distracting imagery.

Jitter When viewed from the HUD eye re ference point, the displayed EFVS image jitter amplitude should be less than 0.6 mrad. Jitter for this use is defined in SAE ARP5288. This implies that the EFVS and the HUD cannot exhibit jitter greater than that of the HUD itself.

Flicker Flicker is brigh tness variations at frequency above 0.25 Hz as per SAE ARP5288. The minimum standard for flicker should meet the criteria of SAE ARP5288. Flicker can cause mild fatigue and reduced crew efficiency. Therefore, the EFVS and the HUD should not exhibit flicker greater than that of the HUD itself.

Image artefacts The EFVS should not exhibit any objectionable noise, local disturbances, or an artefact that prevents the system from meeting its intended function. The EFVS design should minimise display characteristics or artefacts (for example, internal system noise, ‘burlap’ overlay, or running water droplets) which obscure the desired image of the scene, impair the pilot’s ability to detect and identify visual references, mask flight hazards, distract the pilot, or otherwise degrade task performance or safety.

Image conformality The accuracy of the integrated EFVS and HUD image should not result in a greater than 5 mrad display error at the centre of the display at a range of 2 000 ft (100 ft altitude o n a 3 - degree glideslope). In accordance with SAE ARP5288, the total HUD system display accuracy error, as measured from the HUD eye reference point, should be less than 5.0 mrad at the HUD boresight, with increasing error allowable toward the outer edges o f the HUD. Errors away from the boresight should be as defined in SAE ARP5288. The primary EFVS error components include the installation misalignment of the EFVS sensor from aircraft/HUD boresight and sensor parallax. A range parameter is used in the EFVS conformability requirement to account for the error component associated with parallax. There is no error allowed for the EFVS sensor, since it is assumed that any error can be electronically compensated during installation. With EFVS operations, the airc raft is flown essentially irrespective of the EFVS/HUD dynamic error, to the MDA or DA. From this point to 100 ft height above TDZE, the EFVS conformality error introduces error in the pilot’s ability to track along the extended centre line / vertical glid e path as the pilot flies the FPV and glide path reference line toward the EFVS image of the runway.

Dynamic range The minimum required dynamic range for passive EFVSs should be 48 dB. For active EFVSs, side lobes should be 23 dB below the main beam, and 4 0 dB dynamic range plus sensitivity time control.

Sensor image calibration Visible image calibrations and other built - in tests that cannot be achieved within a total latency of 100 ms should occur only either on pilot command or be coordinated by aircraft data to only occur in non - critical phases of flight. If other than normal imagery is displayed during the Powered by EASA eRules Page 53 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART A – ENABLING EQUIPMENT Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 3 – ENHANCED FLIGHT VISION SYSTEMS (EFVSs) non - uniformity correction (NUC) or other built - in tests, the image should be removed from the pilot’s display. This prohibits excessive times to compl ete maintenance or calibration functions which would remove or degrade the EFVS imagery during critical phases of flight, unless the pilot commands the action (with full knowledge of the effect based on training and experience).

Abnormal imagery should be removed from the display to eliminate the potential for any misleading information.

Passive sensor optical distortion Optical distortion should be 5 % or less across the minimal FOR and no greater than 8 % outside the minimal FOR.

Sensor sensitivity In thi s context, the EFVS sensor sensitivity should be at least a noise - equivalent temperature difference (NETD) of 50° mK tested at an appropriate ambient temperature for passive EFVSs or – 20 dB sm/sm (square metre/square metre) surface at R from 200 ft heig ht above TDZE max with a typical 3° glideslope for active EFVSs. Passive sensors for different visible or short - wave infrared sources can require very sensitive detectors, as specified by low noise - equivalent powers.

Blooming The sensor should incorporate feat ures to minimise blooming, which can create an unusable or objectionable image. Objectionable blooming is defined as the condition that obscures the required visual cues. Blooming to the extent the required visual references are no longer distinctly visibl e and identifiable is unacceptable.

Image persistence The image persistence time constant should be less than 100 ms. However, burn - in or longer image persistence caused by high - energy sources (for example, the sun saturating the infrared sensor elements) should be removed from the image. Image artefacts should be removed by a secondary on - demand process (for example, the non - uniformity correction (NUC) process).

Dead pixels Dead pixels or sensor elements replaced by a ‘bad pixel’ replacement algorithm shou ld be limited to 1 % average of the total display area, with no cluster greater than 0.02 % within the minimum FOR. A small number of disparate dead pixel elements can be effectively replaced by image processing but eventually the algorithms will degrade t he image quality and accuracy due to the sheer number and closely spaced location of the element.

Parallax The effects of parallax caused by lateral, vertical, and longitudinal offset of the sensor from the pilots’ design eye points should not impede the E FVS from performing its intended function, as evaluated during flight test. Parallax should not cause unsatisfactory landing performance parameters (e.g. flare height, sink rate, touchdown location, ground speed during landing, exit and taxiing) between EF VS operations and visual operations in the same aircraft.

AMC AWO.A.EFVS.107 EFVS safety assessment

ED Decision 2022/007/R The safety assessment should show that the applicant’s specific installation meets all the integrity criteria for the aircraft systems and for the EFVS. All aircraft configurations to be certified should be addressed.

The applicant may need to assess by flight test or simulatio n the effects of combinations of EFVS malfunctions that are not classified as Catastrophic by the functional hazard analysis (FHA) (to support compliance demonstration to CS 23.2500(a), CS 23.2500(b), CS 23.2510, CS 23.2605 or CS 25.1309, as applicable).

T he overall level of safety of the aircraft is based on installed equipment. A complete system safety assessment (SSA) should be conducted. The SSA should consider the potential for hazardously misleading information (HMI) being presented to the flight crew . Examples of HMI that should be considered include at least information providing attitude, altitude, and distance cues as outside terrain imagery, frozen and offset imagery.

EFVS fail - safe features The normal operation of the EFVS may not adversely affec t, or be adversely affected by, other normally operating aircraft systems. Detected malfunctions of the EFVS which could cause display of misleading information should be annunciated and the misleading information removed. The criticality of the EFVS’s fun ction to display imagery, including the potential to display HMI, should be assessed according to CS 25.1309 and AMC 25 - 11. Likewise, the hazard effects of any malfunction of the EFVS that could adversely affect interfaced equipment or associated systems s hould be determined and assessed according to CS 25.1309 and AMC 25 - 11. Similar criteria can be found in CS 23.2510. This requirement should be met through an SSA and documented via fault tree analysis (FTA), failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and f ailure mode and effects analysis substantiation (FMEA substantiation), or equivalent safety documentation.

AMC AWO.A.EFVS.108 EFVS level of safety

ED Decision 2022/007/R During the development and design of an EFVS, the safety design goals for airworth iness approval should be established. The safety criteria for each phase of flight, including approach and landing systems, should be defined in terms of accuracy, continuity, availability, and integrity. Appropriate design guidance should be used to deter mine the overall required level of safety for the aircraft, in any mode of flight, and for any combination of failures which can cause an unsafe condition in order for them to be fully assessed and categorised. This should include the ability of the flight crew to cope with these failures. The hazard level for any aircraft system will depend on the ability of the flight crew to cope with failures. For failures where the SSA assumes a particular pilot intervention to limit the hazard effects (for example, fr om catastrophic or hazardous to major or minor), it should be shown that the pilot can be relied on to perform that intervention. For example, the pilot might be assumed to detect a system error because of other displays or out - the - window view.

It should be demonstrated that flight crew can detect the error in a timely fashion and not be hazardously misled. The demonstration must validate the hazard classification contained in either CS 23.2510 or CS 25.1309, as appropriate.

The applicant should demonstrat e a satisfactory safety (failure and performance) level which should not be lower than the safety level required for precision and NPAs with decision altitudes (DAs) of 200 ft or above without the use of an EFVS. In showing compliance, probabilities cannot be factored by the fraction of approaches which are performed using EFVS. Consideration, however, can be given to the EFVS critical flight time, such as from the highest DH that can be expected for an approach to 100 ft above the TDZE using an EFVS - A.

The selected DALs are directly linked to the specific intended use and to the specific EFVS installation as an integrated part of the flight deck flight information system.

In showing compliance with these safety criteria, the probabilitie s of failure conditions of an EFVS - L should not be factored by the fraction of approaches which require an EFVS - L. The probabilities of failure conditions of an EFVS - L should also not be factored by a statistical distribution of visibility conditions. The exposure time used for failure calculations of an EFVS - L should be the elapsed time from descent below the highest expected DA/H for the approach using an EFVS - L to completion of roll - out to a safe taxi speed.

Any malfunction, fault detection and annunciat ion schemes should satisfy the required levels of safety and should perform their intended functions.

AMC1 AWO.A.EFVS.109 EFVS performance

ED Decision 2022/007/R The performance of EFVS imaging systems does not solely depend upon system design, but also depends upon the target scene characteristics such as the runway, light structures, electromagnetic radiation, and atmospheric conditions.

Since the purpose of the EFVS sensor is to provide a visual advantage over the pilot’s out - the - window view, the design should include a gener al performance analysis. This analysis should include the calculated performance, which indicates the viability of the system to meet the proposed intended function, specifically including the calculated performance of the sensor operation within the range of the environment proposed.

Likewise, since the purpose of the EFVS sensor is to provide a visual advantage over the pilot’s out - the - window view, the general performance analysis should include the calculated transmission of Powered by EASA eRules Page 60 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART A – ENABLING EQUIPMENT Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 3 – ENHANCED FLIGHT VISION SYSTEMS (EFVSs) electromagnetic energy in the visible spectrum and other relevant frequencies. The analysis should portray the length of transmission over a path with generalised extinction coefficients at a given wavelength.

EUROCAE ED - 291 Test Procedures for Quantified Visual Advantage Issue 1 cont ains an acceptable methodology for determining and quantifying the visual advantage for an EFVS - A or EFVS - L, and should be used as the basis for the flight test.

Note: Examples of acceptable sensor models are MODTRAN and LOWTRAN, which can be used to estim ate the performance of infrared systems. Other models (FASCODE) for radar systems may be used for these types of sensors and provide a basic measure of signal attenuation helpful in assessing performance and viability for the required functions.

Both the i nstalled system and the individual system components should be verified to ensure compliance with the requirements in Book 1 Subpart A Section 3.

Airframe and equipment manufacturer - based tests or analyses, as applicable, should be developed and conducted to validate the detailed system criteria. No specific test procedures are cited because alternative methods can be used. Alternate procedures can be utilised if it can be demonstrated that they provide the totality of the required information. System perfo rmance tests are the most important tests as they relate to operational capability. Subsystem tests are used as subsystems are added during system build - up to ensure appropriate subsystem performance as it relates to overall system performance.

An evaluati on of the system used during anticipated operational scenarios should be conducted.

The minimum detection EFVS range can be derived by using an assumed minimum distance of the aircraft at the nominal Category I (200 ft) DA before which the EFVS should imag e the visual cues required by AMC7 SPA.LVO.105(c) point (e).

Sensor resolution As a minimum, the EFVS resolution performance shall adequately resolve (for pilot identification) the runway threshold and the TDZ to enable the intended function. For example, an EFVS should resolve a 60 - ft wide runway from 200 ft height above the TDZE with a typical 3 - degree glideslope. The sensor resolution has been established by providing this resolution at a minimum range, allowing the pilot to continue the descent below DA or MDA. (These values do not take into account pilot decision time or actual atmospheric conditions, or the use of NPAs which may require greater distances.) A 60 - ft wide runway has been chosen as the ICAO minimum runway width to support instrument approa ch procedures.

Display resolution Since the sensor can be active or passive, the EFVS display should adequately resolve a 60 - ft wide runway from 200 ft height above the TDZE with a typical 3 - degree glideslope. The pilot needs to be able to detect and accur ately identify the visual references in the image.

Performance demonstration The performance demonstration, establishing aircraft system compliance, typically includes bench testing, flight testing, data collection, and data reduction to show that the prop osed performance criteria can be met. Minimal performance standards necessitate an evaluation of the system used during anticipated operational scenarios. The performance evaluations should, therefore, include demonstrations of taxi, take - off, missed appro aches, failure conditions, crosswind conditions, and approaches into specific aerodromes as appropriate for the system’s intended function. For EFVSs, performance at the lateral and vertical limits for the type of approach (for example, precision, Powered by EASA eRules Page 61 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART A – ENABLING EQUIPMENT Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 3 – ENHANCED FLIGHT VISION SYSTEMS (EFVSs) non - prec ision, and approach with vertical guidance) for which operational credit is being sought should be demonstrated.

The applicant should demonstrate compliance through flight test using an aircraft that is fully representative for the purpose of the test in terms of flight deck geometry, instrumentation, alerts, indications, and controls (in the air or on the ground).

In addition, the applicant should use any of these three general verification methods to supplement flight testing: (a) Analysis: demonstrate compliance using an engineering analysis.

(b) Laboratory test: demonstrate compliance using an engineering bench representative of the final EFVS being certified.

(c) Simulation: demonstrate compliance using a flight simulator.

The individual v erification methods that are to be used should be specified in the certification plan to be agreed by EASA. For extensions, features, and design decisions not explicitly specified in this certification specification, human factors evaluations should be con ducted through analyses, bench, simulation, or flight testing.

Final approach course offsets greater than 3 degrees should be subject to additional flight test evaluation. The maximum allowable final approach course offset is established by flight testing. This testing should include the factors related to the offset, such as HUD/EFVS FOV, crosswinds, and the maximum drift angle for a conformal FPV.

Benchmark data establishing equivalence to normal visual operations with a specific aircraft should not norma lly be necessary. However, if flight test results show deviations from the standard criteria listed above, then benchmark data might be used to establish the equivalence of operations with EFVS - L to normal visual operations for that specific aircraft.

The image/symbology of EFVS - L should provide the visual cues for the pilot to perform the following actions without requiring exceptional piloting skill, alerting, strength, or excessive workload: (a) Speed control within +10/ – 5 kt of the approach speed, wheth er manually controlled or with auto - throttle, up to the point where the throttles are retarded for landing.

(b) A smooth transition through flare to landing.

(c) Approach, flare, and landing at a normal sink rate for the aircraft.

(d) All touchdowns in the TDZ. Lateral touchdown performance should be demonstrated to be no worse than that achieved in visual operations with natural vision for a specific aircraft.

Longitudinal touchdown performance must be demonstrated within the TDZ which is the first one thi rd, or the first 3 000 ft, of the usable runway, whichever is more restrictive, and demonstrated to be equivalent to or better than that achieved in visual operations with natural vision for that specific aircraft.

(e) Prompt and predictable correction of any lateral deviation away from the runway centre line to smoothly intercept the centre line.

(f) Touchdowns with a bank angle that is not hazardous to the aeroplane.

(g) Demonstrated performance of the installed EFVS at representative visibilities for ope rations conducted with EFVS - A and EFVS - L, as described in this document, will determine any additional limitation (for example, crosswind and offset).

(h) A normal derotation.

EFVS - L perform ance demonstration For EFVS - Ls and, where appropriate, for the performance demonstration, the non - visual conditions can be achieved either by natural obscuration or by use of a visibility - limiting device in front of the pilot. Caution should be used if the use of a visibility - limiting device for system performance demonstrations is selected. Visibility - limiting devices may not adequately simulate low - visibility conditions for all performance demonstrations of EFVS - Ls because of the unrealistically good exte rnal visibility outside the HUD FOV and the unrealistic image performance of the EFVS - Ls in good atmospheric conditions.

Signal - in - space models for approach and landing simulation and

fault analysis

ED Decision 2022/007/R 1 Purpose The purpose of this Appendix to the AMC is to provide acceptable signal - in - space models based on known navigation means (facilities external to the aircraft) that can be used to demonstrate in simulation the system performance in approach and landing. It should be noted that system performance depends on the performance of the navigation means (nominal limit and fault), and a performance demonstration conducted using one navigation means may not be valid when using another navigation means due to different nominal limit and fa ult characteristics.

Note: These models are primarily intended to simulate the characteristics of beams at low altitude and, therefore, the results derived from its use should not be relied on for heights above 150 m (500 ft).

2 ILS CAT I/II/III signal - in - space model The values given are derived from the performance characteristics for ILS, contained in ICAO Annex 10, Volume I, Sixth Edition, dated July 2006, at Amendment 90, except where otherwise indicated.

ICAO Annex 10 Volume I (Attachment C, paragraph 2.14) defines a standard classification of ILS by using three characters: (1) facility performance (I, II or III); (2) ILS points (A, B, C, T, D or E — see definition below) to which the localiser structure conforms to the course structure of a CAT II/III localiser; and (3) level of integrity and continuity of service (1, 2, 3 or 4).

ILS point ‘A’ A point on the ILS glide path measured along the extended runway centre line in the approach direction at a distance of 7.5 km (4 NM) from the threshold.

ILS poi nt ‘B’ A point on the ILS glide path measured along the extended runway centre line in the approach direction at a distance of 1 050 m (3 500 ft) from the threshold.

ILS point ‘C’ A point through which the downward extended straight portion of the nominal ILS glide path passes at a height of 30 m (100 ft) above the horizontal plane containing the threshold.

ILS reference datum (point ‘T’) A point at a specified height located above the intersection of the runway centre line and the threshold, and through which the downward extended straight portion of the ILS glide path passes.

ILS point ‘E’ A point 4 m (12 ft) a bove the runway centre line and 600 m (2 000 ft) from the stop end of the runway in the direction of the threshold.

Depending on the intended operation, the minimum class of ILS elected will define the detailed characteristics of the ILS to be used for: — nominal and limit case analysis; — failure cases to be considered; and — integrity and continuity analysis.

2.1 Glide path 2.1.1 Glide path angles It should be assumed that the operationally preferred glide path angle is 3°. The system should be shown to meet all applicable requirements with promulgated glide path angles from 2.5° to 3°. Minimum and maximum glide path angle slopes considered in the demonstrations should be defined and the system should meet all applicable requirements within the defined limits. Where certification is requested for the use of a larger beam angle, the performance on such a beam should be assessed.

— For CAT I operations, it is recommended to cover at least a 2.5° to 3.5° glideslope range.

— For CAT II or CAT III operations, it is reco mmended to cover a 2.5° to 3° glideslope range.

2.1.2 Height of the ILS reference datum (height of glide path at threshold) For establishing compliance with the longitudinal touchdown performance limits, it may be assumed that the height of the ILS referen ce datum is 15 m (50 ft).

2.1.3 Glide path alignment accuracy It should be assumed that the standard deviation of the beam angle about the nominal angle (θ) is 0.025 θ.

2.1.4 Displacement sensitivity It should be assumed that the angular displacement from the nominal glide path for 0.0875 DDM has the value of 0.12 θ.

2.1.5 Glide path structure For the purposes of simulation, the noise spectrum of the ILS glide path may be represented by a white noise passed through a low - pass first - order filter of time con stant 0.5 s.

Note: For CAT I ILS, a combination of high - frequency and low - frequency noise would be more representative of the actual noise experienced in - service.

(Background: An interpretation of Annex 10, Volume I, Section 3.1.5.4.1 and 3.1.5.4.2) Note 1: ICAO Annex 10 Section 3.1.5.4 defines higher value prior point ‘B’ for Type II or III facilities. Since the model is intended to be used only below 500 ft, the increase value prior point B may not be considered.

Note 2: This model is primarily intended to simulate the characteristics of beams at low altitude and, therefore, the results derived from its use should not be relied on for heights above 150 m (500 ft).

2.1.6 Glide fault mode The effect of a glideslope malfunction can be modelled as a ramp with a start time, a ramp rate, a glide monitoring threshold and a time - to - alert, as illustrated in Figure 1. As the effect of the glide fault may differ depending on start time and ramp rate, the combination that provides the most severe effect on aircraft devia tion shall be considered.

Note: The Type II or III value is between those given in ICAO Annex 10, section 3.1.3.6 for CAT II and CAT III ILS which are assumed to be three - sigma values, 2.5 m (8.3 ft) and 1.0 m (3.3 ft) respectively.

2.2.2 Displacement sensitivity It should be assumed that the nomina l displacement sensitivity at the ILS reference datum (Point ‘T’) has the value of 0.00145 DDM/m.

2.2.3 Course structure For the purposes of simulation, the noise spectrum of the ILS localisers may be represented by a white noise passed through a low - pass first - order filter of time constant 0.5 s.

The two - sigma level value of the filter output should be set according to the minimum class of the ILS considered as per the following table: Note: For CAT I ILS, a combination of high - frequency and low - frequency noise would be more representative of the actual noise experienced in - service.

— If the minimum required for the operation is ‘A’ or ‘B’, for final approach path, the output of the filter should be set to a two - sigma level of 0.015 DDM up to point ‘C’. After point ‘C’, the local iser signal performance is unknown and should not be used.

— If the minimum required for the operation is ‘C’, ‘T’, ‘D’ or ‘E’, after the elected point, the localiser signal performance is unknown and should not be used.

— Facility performance Type II or III: for the whole of the approach path, the output of the filter should be set to a two - sigma level of 0.005 DDM.

2.2.4 Localiser fault mode The effect of a localiser malfunction can be modelled as a ramp with a start time, a ramp rate, a localiser monitoring threshold and a time - to - alert as illustrated in Figure 2. As the effect of the localiser fault may differ depending on start time and ramp rate, the combination that provides the most severe aircraft deviation shall be considered.

The probability of losing the ILS guidance localiser or glide can be assumed to be: — for integrity level 1 ILS: no demonstrated values; – 6 — for integrity level 2 ILS: 4.0 × 10 in any period of 15 s; – 6 — for integrity level 3 ILS: 2.0 × 10 in any period of 15 s; and – 6 — for integrity level 4 ILS: 2.0 × 10 in any period of 30 s (localiser) or 15 s (glide).

3 MLS signal - in - space model The MLS models defined by the ICAO All Weather Operations Panel (AWOP) (reference AWOP/14 - WP/659, dated 4/2/93) should be used for approach simulations. Alternatively, if certification of MLS is only sought for ILS lookalike operations, the applicant may use the ILS model defined in paragraph 2. This is based on the assertion that the MLS quality is equal to or better than th at of the ILS and requires no further substantiation.

4 GLS signal - in - space model What follows describes one acceptable model for the assumed characteristics of the GLS guidance errors. Applicants that use an alternate model are responsible for documenting the alternate model, its basis (including a mapping to ICAO Annex 10 characteristics and any additional assumptions made), and its validity.

The ground - based augmentation system (GBAS) performance model simulates the outputs of a fault - free GBAS airborne receiver when used in conjunction with a GBAS ground station categorised as either GAST C or GAST D.

The architecture of the GLS model is illustrated in Figure 3. The GLS model includes a navigation system error (NSE) generator which generates NSEs representative of a GBAS providing 1 2 3 approach service type C or D as defined by the applicable requirements [ , , ]. The position calculator adds NSEs to the true position of the GLS reference point (GRP). The deviation calculator computes the deviations of the GRP given the FAS data. A latency model is applied to each output of the GLS model.

The NSE generator and the NSE step generator are discussed below.

4.1 GBAS NSE generator The GBAS NSE generator produces NSEs in the along - track, cross - track and vertical directions. The block diagram of the GBAS NSE generator is shown in Figure 4. The Gaussian white noise (GWN) generator produces three independent noise sequences with zero, mean, and unity variance. Each sequence is filtered by a second - order Butterworth filter. The compensation gain which brings the root mean square (rms) of the filtered noise back to unity is obtained as: [1] The filter output is scaled by NSE scale factors K , K , and K . At the beginning of each atrk xtrk vert run, the NSE generator filter should be i nitialised at a value sampled from a Gaussian distribution consistent with these scale factors.

For each run, the value of K is determined by selecting a sample, x , from a uniform distribution between vert 0 and 1. The value of K is then given by the foll owing function of x : vert [3] where the parameters of the function are dependent on the GBAS approach service type as given in Table 3: Powered by EASA eRules Page 87 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART A – ENABLING EQUIPMENT Operations (CS - AWO) APPENDIX 1 TO THE ACCEPTABLE MEANS OF COMPLIANCE TO SUBPART A ‘MODELS’ Service type a 1 a 1 a 3 K vert_max GAST C 0.4 0.2 0.006 10 / 5.762 = 1.736 GAST D 0.52 0.47 0.005 10 / 5.762 = 1.736 Table 3: GAST - dependent parameters for K vert If the random pick from a distribution between 0 and 1 results in K > K , then the vert vert_max value should be discarded and another sample should be selected from the uniform distribution set to the maximum val ue from the table .

For each run, the value of K is determined by selecting a sample, x , from a uniform xtrk 1 distribution between 0 and 1. For each run, the value of K is determined by selecting a atrk sample, x , from a uniform distribution between 0 and 1. The cross - track and along - track scale factors are then computed by: [4] [5] where the parameters of the function are dependent on the GBAS approach service type as given in Table 4: Service type a a a K , K 1 2 3 xtrk_max atrk_max GAST C 0.2 0.1 0.003 40 / 5.762 = 6.942 GAST D 0.21 0.12 0.003 17 / 5.762 = 2.951 Table 4: GAST - dependent parameters for K xtrk If the random pick from a distribution between 0 and 1 results in K > K or K > xtrk xtrk_max atrk K , then the value should be discarded and another sample should be selected from atrk_max the uniform distribution.

4.4 NSE step generator The NSE step generator is illustrated in Figure 5. Step errors will occur when individual satellites are removed from the position solution (e.g. a satellite fails and stops transmitting or the user receiver stops tracking a satellite for any reason) or due to an individual sate llite rising or setting. The step generator produces representative step errors in the vertical, along - track and cross - track directions. This is accomplished by scaling a unit step function by factors that are derived from representative statistical distri butions. First, three random samples, one for each axis, are selected from a zero mean unit variance normal distribution. Then, these samples are multiplied by scale factors that are chosen to simulate the statistical variation in the size of an error that would result from normal variations in the relative geometry between the user and the This corresponds to the case where VPL > 10 m and, therefore, the system is not available.

Finally, the resultant constant factors are multiplied with a unit step function time sequence.

4.6 Latency model The latency of the GLS output should be delayed for a period of 400 ms.

4.7. Fault mode generator The limit case or fault mode generator is illustrated in Figure 6.

The fault mode generator produces a ramp error with characteristics as illustrated in Figure 7 Malfunction transient . The effect of a malfunction is modelled as a ramp, with a start time, a ramp rate, and a total exposure time, T . The maximum value of t he ramp max depends on the ramp rate and the time - to - alert. The ramp is assumed to increase to the level of the maximum value and then to exceed that value for a period equal to the time - to - detect and mitigate the failure. The erroneous satellite is isolated a nd the error returns to the nominal value (i.e. the fault error is set to zero). The model may alternatively produce step errors where the maximum change in error due to the step is specified rather than the ramp rate. (See reference [ ] for more details regarding GLS fault modelling.)

For ground segment reference receiver failures, the effective VAL will depend on the geometry screening applied in the airborne equipment. If no additional geometry screening is applied other than VPL<VAL, the maximum effective VAL is 9.35 [m] (see Table 7 Malfunction transient characteristics in the vertical direction ). If additional geometry screening is applied, a lower effective VAL may result. Reference [ ] explains how to compute the effective VAL given additional geometry screening. Figure 8 Maximum error and T as a function of alert limits shows a plot of maximum vertical BAC and lateral errors as a function of vertical and lateral alert limit screening. The calculations to produce the plot in Figure 8 are described in detail in reference [ ].

For i onospheric anomalies, the maximum vertical error E is limited to a specified max maximum allowable position error for the airborne installation for each axis, vertical ( MaxE ) and lateral ( MaxE ), as a part of the satellite geometry screening in the avionic s V L [ ]. These values along with broadcast information provided by the ground station determine the geometry screening.

2.1 Wind model Number 1 2.1.1 Mean wind It may be assumed that the cumulative probability of reported mean wind speed at landing, and the crosswind component of that wind are as shown in Figure 15 Cumulative probability of reported mean wind and headwind, tailwind and crosswind components when landing . Normally, the mean wind which is reported to the pilot is measured at a height which may be between 6 m (20 ft) and 10 m (33 ft) above the runway. The models of wind shear and turbulence given in paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3 assume this reference height is used.

2.1.2 Wind shear 2.1.2.1 Normal wind shear Wind shear should be included in each simulated approach and landing unless its effect can be accounted for separately. The magnitude of the shear should be defined by the expression: u = 0.43 U log10 (z) + 0.57 U (1) where ‘u’ is the mean wind speed at height z m etres (z ≥ 1 m) and ‘U’ is the mean wind speed at 10 m (33 ft).

2.1.2.2 Abnormal wind shear The effect of wind shears exceeding those of paragraph 2.1.2.1 should be investigated using known severe wind shear data.

2.1.3 Turbulence 2.1.3.1 Horizontal compon ent of turbulence It may be assumed that the longitudinal component (in the direction of mean wind) and lateral component of turbulence may each be represented by a Gaussian process having a spectrum of the form: L  2 2 2 L 1  +  Φ(Ω) = (2) where: Φ(Ω) = a spectral density [[metres/s] per [radian/metre]] σ = root mean square (rms) turbulence intensity = 0·15 U L = scale length = 183 m (600 ft) Ω = frequency [radians/metre] Powered by EASA eRules Page 101 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART A – ENABLING EQUIPMENT Operations (CS - AWO) APPENDIX 1 TO THE ACCEPTABLE MEANS OF COMPLIANCE TO SUBPART A ‘MODELS’ 2.1.3.2 Vertical component of turbulence It may be assumed that the vertical compon ent of turbulence has a spectrum of the form defined by equation (2) in paragraph 2.1.3.1.

The following values have been in use: = 2.8 km/h (1.5 kt) with L = 9.2 m (30 ft) or alternatively = 0.09 U with L = 4·6 m (15 ft) when z < 9.2 m (30 ft) and L = 0.5 z when 9.2 < z < 305 m (30 < z < 1 000 ft) Figure 15: Cumulative probability of reported mean wind and headwind, tailwind and crosswind components when landing Powered by EASA eRules Page 102 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART A – ENABLING EQUIPMENT Operations (CS - AWO) APPENDIX 1 TO THE ACCEPTABLE MEANS OF COMPLIANCE TO SUBPART A ‘MODELS’ Note: This data is based on worldwide in - service operations of UK airlines (sample siz e: about 2 000).

These cumulative probabilities could be approximated by a Gaussian distribution with characteristics as below: Wind in runway axis Mean Standard deviation Crosswind 0 kt 7 kt Longitudinal wind 7.5 kt head 7.3 kt 2.2 Wind model Number 2 2.2.1 Mean wind The mean wind is the steady - state wind measured at landing. This mean wind is composed of a downwind component (headwind and tailwind) and a crosswind component. The cumulative probability distributions for these components are pro vided in Figure 16 Headwind – tailwind description (downwind) and in Figure 17 Crosswind description (crosswind).

Alternatively, the mean wind can be defined with magnitude and direction. The cumulative probability for the mean wind magnitude is provided in Figure 8 Annual per cent probability of mean wind speed equalling or exceeding given values , and the histogram of the mean wind direction is provided in Figure 9 Histogram of the mean wind direction relative to runway heading . The mean wind is measured at a reference altitude of 20 ft above ground level (AGL). The models of the wind shear and turbulence given in Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 assume this reference altitude of 20 ft AGL is used.

2.2.2 Wind shear When stable and steady horizontal wind blows over th e ground surface, terrain irregularities and obstacles such as trees and buildings alter the steady wind near the surface and a boundary layer will cause a form of wind shear. The magnitude of this shear is defined by the following expression: V = 0.20 4*V *ln((h + 0.15)/0.15) wref 20 where V is the mean wind speed measured at h ft and V is the mean wind wref 20 speed (ft/s) at 20 ft AGL.

Note: This expression does not represent the violent wind shears created by unstable air mass conditions.

2.2.3 Turbulence 2.2.3.1 Turbulence spectra The turbulence spectra are of the Von Karman form.

The vertical component of turbulence (perpendicular to the earth’s surface) has a spectrum of the form defined by the following equation: ( )   w = Powered by EASA eRules Page 103 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART A – ENABLING EQUIPMENT Operations (CS - AWO) APPENDIX 1 TO THE ACCEPTABLE MEANS OF COMPLIANCE TO SUBPART A ‘MODELS’ The horizontal component of turbulence (in the direction of the mean horizontal wind) has a spectrum of the form defined by the following equation:

This means that one can consider the turbulence components to have equal intensities.

(See AMC AWO.B.SACATI.101 ) [Issue: CS - AWO/2]

AMC AWO.B.SACATI.101(a) Applicability and terminology

ED Decision 2022/007/R An aeroplane with a basic airworthiness approval for IFR operations is eligible to perform xLS precision approaches down to a DH of 60 m (200 ft), assuming tha t the necessary navigation receiver(s) and instruments and their installation have been approved. The purpose of this Section is to specify the supplementary airworthiness requirements for the performance of approaches on authorised Category I xLS runways with DHs below 60 m (200 ft) down to 45 m (150 ft). Authorised runway criteria include xLS categories that are suitable for the intended operation and the pre - threshold terrain is compatible with the use of a radio altimeter (or other device capable of pro viding equivalent performance and integrity level) at a DH of 45 m (150 ft).

Terminology (a) The term ‘approach system’ refers only to the airborne system. It includes the equipment listed in AMC AWO.B.SACATI.111 , and all related sensors, instruments and power supplies.

(b) ‘Decision height (DH)’ is the w heel height above the runway elevation by which a go - around must be initiated unless adequate visual reference has been established and the aircraft position and approach path have been visually assessed as satisfactory to continue the approach and landing safely. Where ‘DH’ is used in this Section, it means the minimum DH at which compliance with the requirements of this Section has been demonstrated.

(c) A ‘go - around’ is the transition from an approach to a stabilised climb.

(e) The terms ‘localiser’,’glide path’ and ‘beam’ have been retained for use with either ILS or an equivalent system.

(f) ‘ILS or equivalent system’ is understo od as ILS, MLS and GLS. It may include other xLS systems if they demonstrate the same global level of precision, integrity and continuity as an ILS CAT II operation with a DH of 150 ft.

(g) ‘HUD or equivalent display’ is understood as HUD or head - worn disp lay (HWD).

Guidance on controls, indicators and alerts that are associated with installations that incorporate more than one type of approach system can be found in AMC AWO.A.ALS.110 .

System concept The principle of SA CAT I operations is to provide a lower DH than the standard CAT I operation by mitigating xLS performance category characteristics that may be not suitable for CAT II operations and reduced runway lighting by additional approach system requirements. These requirements intend to compensate for lower accuracy and integrity and longer time - to - alert than those required for CAT II operations, and provide assistance to acquire the visual cues required to complete the landing with reduced lighting.

Systems t hat have shown or can demonstate compliance with CS - AWO Subpart B Section 3 (CAT II) are considered to be eligible for SA CAT I operations if it has been demonstrated that they can be safely used in a CAT I environment. Other systems can be considered if s uitable justification and mitigation means can be provided.

Due to the fact that low - visibilty procedures (LVPs) are required to be in place for SA CAT I operations, the following non - exhaustive list of approach systems may be considered for SA CAT I oper ations: (a) HUD (or equivalent display) with flight guidance which is approved for xLS manual operation down to 36 m (120 ft).

(b) SVGS with flight guidance based on xLS displayed on the primary flight display or HUD (or equivalent display), and high - preci sion position assurance monitoring.

(c) Automatic approach system coupled down to 36 m (120 ft) with a HUD (or equivalent display) to ease manual transition at the DH, thanks to the control of the flight path vector (FPV) in the visual segment.

(d) Automat ic landing system alone, provided it is demonstrated that failures linked to Category I xLS performance can be recognised by pilot in low - visibility conditions.

(e) Automatic landing system with a HUD (or equivalent display) to monitor the autoland path al ong the Category I xLS performance before and after the DH .

AMC AWO.B.SACATI.120 Failure of xLS navigation means (facilities

external to the aircraft, including signal - in - space)

ED Decision 2022/007/R The effect of detected and undetected failures of the navigation means (facilities external to the aircraft, including signal - in - space) intended to b e used for the operation should be considered. The guidance of this Section is intended to address non - aircraft system errors. Due to the fact that low - visibility procedures (LVPs) are in place for SA CAT I operations, the effects of interruption or distur bance of the ground navigation means by surface movement in sensitive or critical aerodrome areas does not need to be considered.

A description of the possible fault modes of the navigation means (facilities external to the aircraft, including signal - in - sp ace) that are derived from ICAO Annex 10 Volume I can be found in Appendix 1 to AMC to Subpart A. It includes a description of detected failures and the probability of undetected failures. In the demonstration, credit may be taken for the ground subsystem’ s probability of undetected failures.

Note: Detected localiser and glide (or equivalent) threshold and time - to - alert and probability of undetected failures depend on the class of the navigation means. Demonstration made for CAT II/III systems may not be applicable for lower - class navigation means.

Failures of the navigation means (facilities external to the aircraft, including signal - in - space) which would require pilot recognition in relation with external references (as required by AMC5 SPA.LVO.105(c) po int (d)) should be demonstrated in the actual visual references available on an SA CAT I (or equivalent type sought) runway (see CS AWO.B.SACATI.117 ).

Navigation means (facilities external to the aircraft, includi ng signal - in - space) should ensure a minimum vertical clearance of 1 m (3 ft) from the obstacle clearance surface, including height loss during the missed approach if applicable in the event of a failure (detected or undetected). If flight crew action is re quired to trigger a missed approach procedure, a standard delay of 1 s should be considered after flight crew detection. The probability of exceeding the 1 m (3 ft) clearance from the – 7 obstacle clearance surface due to navigation means shall be demonstrated to be lower than 10 per approach. In addition, if automatic landing is provided, it should be demonstrated that the probability – 7 of landing outside the limits that define a safe landing due to navigation means is lower than 10 .

AMC AWO.B.CATII.101(a) Applicability and terminology

ED Decision 2022/007/R An xLS (as defined in CS AWO.B.CATI.102 ) which has outputs that indicate the magnitude and sense of deviation from a preset azimuth and ele vation angle giving operational characteristics equivalent to those of a conventional ILS is considered a precision approach system.

An aeroplane with a basic airworthiness approval for IFR operations is eligible to perform x LS precision approaches down to a DH of 60 m (200 ft), assuming that the necessary x LS receiver(s) and instruments and their installation have been approved. The purpose of Subpart B Section 3 is to specify the supplementary airworthiness requirements for the performance of x LS approach es with DHs below 60 m (200 ft) down to 30 m (100 ft ). Depending upon the applicable operational regulations, aeroplanes that are certified in accordance with this Section may also be eligible to conduct SA CAT II operations.

Terminology (a) The term ‘appr oach system’ used here refers only to the airborne system. It includes the equipment listed in CS AWO.B.CATII.111 , and all related sensors, instruments and power supplies.

(b) ‘Decision height (DH)’ is the wheel h eight above the runway elevation by which a go - around must be initiated unless adequate visual reference has been established and the aircraft position and approach path have been visually assessed as satisfactory to continue the approach and landing safel y. Where ‘DH’ is used in Section 3, it means the minimum DH for which compliance with the requirements of Section 3 has been demonstrated.

(c) A ‘go - around’ is the transition from an approach to a stabilised climb.

(d) ‘Failure condition’ and the terms des cribing the probabilities and effects of failure conditions are defined in AMC 25.1309.

AMC AWO.B.CATII.113 Flight demonstration

ED Decision 2022/007/R 1 Flight path control Compliance with CS AWO.B.CATII.113 may be shown by a flight test programme covering a representative range of weight, centre - of - gravity (CG) position, xLS ground facility characteristics, aeroplane configu rations and wind speed. At least three ILS ground facilities and/or at least two MLS /GLS facilities should be used with an approximately equal number of approaches to each. The aeroplane and its equipment should be representative of the product ion standard in relevant areas. For handflown approaches conducted using a flight director or a HUD, at least three different pilots flying should be employed with the total number of approaches flown being approximately evenly divided among them.

Since it is not econ omically possible to make a large number of approaches to show compliance with AMC AWO.B.CATII.113 , it is necessary to impose a confidence level on the results of the programme. A confidence level of 90 % has been selected to allow a reasonable number of approaches. Two methods of demonstrating compliance are given : the ‘ c ontinuous m ethod’ and the ‘ p ass or f ail m ethod’. The mathematical derivation of these two method s is given in Appendix 1 to AMC AWO.B.CATII.113 .

1.1 Continuous method (analysis of maximum value) If this method is used , a minimum of 30 approaches should be made to provide an adequate sample. If more than one type of precisio n approach system is installed, approximately equal numbers of approaches should be carried out for each type of approach system being certified . The maximum glide path and localiser deviations occurring between 90 m (300 ft) and 30 m (100 ft) should be re corded using test instrumentation and the results analysed in one of the following two ways.

Note: Figure 1 is based on excessive glideslope and localiser deviation thresholds of 75 μA and 25 μA respectively, as specified in AMC AWO.B.CATII.115(a) . If lower thresholds are used, Figure 1 should be amended using the method specified in Appendix 1 to AMC AWO.B.CATII.113 , par agraph 3, ‘Graphical a nalysis’.

b. When the plotted line enters the ‘pass’ regio n , the programme may be stopped.

1.2 Pass or fail method This method is suitable for use when it is not practicable to install recording equipment.

A total of at least 46 successful approaches are necessary to pass this method. If more than one type of precision approach system is installed, approximately equal numbers of app roaches should be carried out for each type of approach system being certified . Each approach is made using Category II procedures and a record is kept of any unsatisfactory approaches due to x LS tracking performance or airborne system malfunctions. The su ccess of the programme is judged against t he criteri a shown in Figure 2.

tracking performance

ED Decision 2022/007/R 1 Introduction AMC AWO.B.CATII.113 gives acceptable methods of demonstrating acceptable ILS and/o r MLS tracking performance. This A ppendix gives the mathematical derivation of these methods.

2 Numerical a nalysis The maximum glide path or localiser deviation recorded during an x LS approach will vary from one approach to another and may be treated as a statistical variable. If it is assumed that the glideslope and localiser deviations recorded during an x LS approach have a normal distribution with mean zero, then it can be shown that the maximum deviations (ignoring the sign of the maximum value) during a certain approach interval follow a Ray leigh distribution of the form: 𝑥 𝑥 − ⁄ ( ) 𝜆 ( ) 𝑃 𝑥 = 𝑒 𝜆 where x is the maximum glideslope or localiser deviation and λ is the scale parameter of the Rayleigh Distribution function.

If large numbers of approaches were made, λ could be calculated and used to find the probability that the maximum xLS deviation will not exceed the excess - deviation alert setting.

For example, if: 𝑛 2 2 𝜆 = ∑ ( 𝑥 ) = 625 0 𝑖 2 𝑛 𝑖 − 1 and the excess - deviation alert setting is 75 μA, then: 𝑥 = 3 ∙ 0 𝜆 and 𝑃 ( 𝑥 ) = 98 . 9 % However, it is not economically practicable to make large numbers of approaches and the effects of small sample sizes should be considered. The usual method of doing so is to impose a confidence level (in this case , 90 %) on the results of the measured sampl e.

If values of λ are calculated from a number of samples, sampling theory shows that they will 𝜆 2 0 be normally distributed with a mean value 𝜆 and a standard deviation of where n is the √ 𝑛 number of approaches in each sample.

2 2 ( 𝜆 − 𝜆 ) √ 𝑛 Parameter 𝜇 = is normally distributed with a mean value 0 and a standar d 𝜆 deviation 1.

FIGURE A1 – 1 : Confidence l evel From this Figure , it can be seen that for τ = 90 %, μ = 1 . 28.

Thus, there is a given level of confidence τ that: – ( ) 𝜆 − 𝜆 𝑛 √ 𝜇 = > − 𝜇 𝜆 F rom which 𝜆 𝜆 < 𝜇 1 − √ 𝑛 The value of λ for the sample is, as shown earlier: 𝑛 2 2 𝜆 = ∑ ( 𝑥 ) 𝑖 2 𝑛 𝑖 = 1 Powered by EASA eRules Page 133 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART B – APPROACH AND LANDING Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 3 – AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATION OF AEROPLANES FOR OPERATIONS WITH DECISION HEIGHTS (DHs) BELOW 60 M (200 FT) AND DOWN TO 30 M (100 FT) — CATEGORY II (CAT II) OPERATIONS Hence, the maximum value of λ can be calculated, followed by the minimum value of 𝜇 1 − √ 𝑛 √ 𝛼 = 𝑥 𝜆 where, as before, x is the excess - deviation alert setting.

The minimum probability of not exceeding the excess - deviation alert setting is found by using the probability equation: 𝛼 − ( ) 𝑃 𝛼 = 100 ( 1 − 𝑒 ) 3 Graphical a nalysis As before, the distribution of the maximum deviation on an approach is assumed to be such that the probability that it is less than a value x is given by: 𝑥 1 0 − ⁄ ( ) 𝜆 𝑃 ( 𝑥 ) = 1 − 𝑒 𝑥 From this equation, given that the required probability is 95 %, the value of can be calculated 𝜆 as: 𝑥 = 2 ∙ 4477 𝜆 The limiting deviations (x ) are the excess - deviation alert settings; 75 μA for the glide path and 25 μA for the localiser. Hence: λ = 30.64 for the glide path λ = 10.21 for the localiser As given earlier: 𝑛 𝜆 = √ ∑ ( 𝑥 ) 𝑖 2 𝑛 𝑖 = 1 so that: 𝑛 2 2 ∑ ( 𝑥 ) = 2 𝑛 𝜆 𝑖 𝑖 = 1 = 1 878 n for the glide path = 209 n for the localiser Powered by EASA eRules Page 134 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART B – APPROACH AND LANDING Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 3 – AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATION OF AEROPLANES FOR OPERATIONS WITH DECISION HEIGHTS (DHs) BELOW 60 M (200 FT) AND DOWN TO 30 M ( 100 FT) — CATEGORY II (CAT II) OPERATIONS Thus, a 95 % success rate can be r epresented graphically as in Figure A1 – 2 showing Σx plotted i against i: FIGURE A1 – 2 : Examples of results of flight trials If, now, a flight trials programme is carried out and the accuracy of the results needs to be checked against the 95 % success criterion, this can be achieved by plotting the value of Σx , the i sum of the squares of the maximum recorded deviations, against n, the number of runs as the trial progresses. If the results are better than required, the graph will cross the 95 % line as shown by line A above. If they are worse the results will appear as line B.

So far, the effect of sample size has not been considered. Its effect is to lower the 95 % success line.

For the sample: 𝑛 √ 𝜆 = ∑ ( 𝑥 ) 𝑖 2 𝑛 𝑖 = 1 As shown earlier: 𝜆 𝜆 < 𝜇 1 − √ 𝑛 which, in the limiting case becomes: 𝜇 2 2 𝜆 = 𝜆 ( 1 − ) 𝑛 √ Powered by EASA eRules Page 135 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART B – APPROACH AND LANDING Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 3 – AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATION OF AEROPLANES FOR OPERATIONS WITH DECISION HEIGHTS (DHs) BELOW 60 M (200 FT) AND DOWN TO 30 M (100 FT) — CATEGORY II (CAT II) OPERATIONS Hence: 𝑛 𝜇 1 2 2 𝜆 ( 1 − ) = ∑ ( 𝑥 ) 0 𝑖 2 𝑛 𝑛 √ 𝑖 = 1 or 𝑛 𝜇 2 2 ∑ ( 𝑥 ) = 2 𝑛 𝜆 ( 1 − ) 𝑖 0 √ 𝑛 𝑖 = 1 λ = 30 . 64 for the glide path λ = 10 . 21 for the localiser μ = 1 . 28 for 90 % confidence level 𝑛 ∑ ( 𝑥 ) 1 = 1 878 n – 2 403 for the glide path 𝑖 = 1 n = 209 n – 267 for the localiser These expressions have been used to p roduce Figure 1 of AMC AWO.B.CATII.113 .

4 Pass or f ail m ethod Suppose the rate of failed approaches measured over a large number of approaches is r.

In a number of approaches T , the expected number of failures is n = r T .

In any given period of time, the number of failures occurring may be greater or less than n, and the small sample may not b e typical.

If the failures are randomly distributed with respect to time , the probability p of observing F failures when the expected number is n is given by the various terms of the Poisson distribution, viz . : F 0 1 2 3 F - n - n − 𝑛 2 − 𝑛 3 − 𝑛 𝐹 P e e n 𝑒 𝑛 𝑒 𝑛 𝑒 𝑛 2 ! 3 ! 𝐹 !

This is a convenient form when the long - term average n is known and the probability of an occurrence of abnormally high or low numbers of failures over short periods is to be found. The problem here is the reverse of this. The observed nu mber F is known and the value of n, which is c onsistent with it, is required.

By considering all values of n from zero to some selected maximum N, the Poisson distribution can be used to find the probability of occurrence of each value of n. Summing all these probabilities gives the cumulative probability P that, for an observed value of F, the expected val ue is not in excess of N. Thus: 𝑁 𝐹 𝑛 − 𝑛 𝑃 = ∫ 𝑒 𝑑𝑛 𝐹 !

As F is a known whole number , then, for various values of F, the value of P may be determined as follows: 𝑁 − 𝑛 − 𝑁 𝐹 = 0 , 𝑃 = ∫ 𝑒 𝑑𝑛 = 1 − 𝑒 𝑁 − 𝑛 − 𝑁 𝐹 = 1 , 𝑃 = ∫ 𝑛𝑒 𝑑𝑛 = 1 − ( 𝑁 + 1 ) 𝑒 2 𝑛 𝑁 − 𝑁 𝑛 𝑒 𝑒 𝐹 = 2 , 𝑃 = ∫ 𝑑𝑛 = 1 − ( 𝑁 + 2 𝑁 + 2 ) 2 ! 2 and generally for any value of F, 𝐹 𝐹 − 1 𝐹 − 2 𝑁 𝑁 𝑁 − 𝑁 𝑃 = 1 − ( + + − − − + 𝑁 + 1 ) 𝑒 ( ) ( ) 𝐹 ! 𝐹 − 1 ! 𝐹 − 2 !

By evaluating the integral for various values of N , the variation of P with N is obtained. Then, for a given confidence level P, the value of N corresponding to the observed value F is obtained.

Thus if the observed ra te is F/T, then, for a selected confidence level, it is possible to determine the maximum value for the failure rate N/T.

AMC AWO.B.CATIII.101(a) Applicability and terminology

ED Decision 2022/007/R A precision approach s ystem, as defined in ICAO Annex 10, is considered an xLS (ILS, MLS or GLS) which has outputs that indicate the magnitude and sense of deviation from a preset azimuth and elevation angle giving operational characteristics equivalent to those of a convention al ILS.

An aeroplane with a basic airworthiness approval for IFR operations is eligible to perform x LS precision approaches down to a DH of 60 m (200 ft), assuming that the necessary x LS receiver(s) and instruments and their installation have been approved. The supplementary airworthiness criteria for aeroplanes to perform precision approaches down to a DH below 60 m (200 ft) and down to 30 m (100 ft) are contained in Subpart B Section 3 .

The purpose of this Section is to specify the supplementary airworthiness criteria for aeroplanes to perform precision approaches with DH s below 30 m (100 ft) or w ith no DH .

This material may not be appropriate to precision approa ch aids other than x LS. It should be noted that when other guidance information is used to supplement the x LS (e.g. inertial navigation systems) , some reduction may be acceptable in the standard of xL S g round facility indicated below.

(d) For a fail - passive automatic landing system, the pilot assumes control of the aircraft following a failure.

The following are typical arrangements: (1) A monitored automatic pilot in which automatic monitors will provide the necessary failure detection and protection.

(2) Two automatic pilots with automatic comparison to provide the necessary failure detection and protection.

(e) ‘Super fail - passive automatic landin g system’: an automatic landing system which meets the requirements of point (c) but has additional features such as automatic align, roll - out and go - around modes which, along with other aircraft characteristics defined under CS AWO.B.CATIII.113(b)(2) , permit operations in lower RVRs than less sophisticated fail - passive landing systems.

(f) ‘Fail - operational automatic landing system’: an automatic landing system is fail - operational if, in the event of a failure, th e approach, flare and landing can be completed by the remaining part of the automatic system.

In the event of a failure, the automatic landing system will operate as a fail - passive system.

The following are typical arrangements: (1) Two monitored automatic pilots, one remaining operative following a failure.

(2) Three automatic pilots, two remaining operative (to permit comparison and provide necessary failure detection and protection) following a failure.

(g) ‘Fail - operational hybrid landing syste m’: a system which consists of a primary fail - passive automatic landing system and a secondary independent guidance system enabling the pilot to complete a landing manually following a failure of the primary system.

A typical secondary independent guidance system consists of a monitored HUD providing guidance which normally takes the form of command information, but it may alternatively be situation (or deviation) information.

(h) The alert height is a specified radio height, based on the characteristics of the aeroplane and its fail - operational landing system. In operational use, if a failure occurred above the alert height in one of the required redundant operational systems in the aeroplane (including, where appropriate, ground - roll guidance and the rever sionary mode in a hybrid system), the approach would be discontinued and a go - around executed unless reversion to a higher DH is possible.

(i) DH is the wheel height above the runway elevation by which a go - around must be initiated unless adequate visual reference has been established and the aircraft position and approach path have been assessed as satisfactory to continue the approach and landing safely.

Where ‘DH’ is used in this document, it means the minimum DH determined in the airworthiness certification.

(j) A go - around is the transition from an approach to a stabilised climb.

(k) Head - up display landing s ystem (HUDLS) The term ‘HUDLS' refers to the total airborne system which provides head - up guidance to the pilot during the approach, landing or go - around. It includes all the sensors, computers, power supplies, indications and controls. Typically, a HUDLS is used for primary approach guidance for DHs down to 15 m (50 ft).

The term s ‘ localiser ’ and ‘ glide path ’ have been retained for use with either ILS , MLS or GLS .

Cross reference is made in this Section to AMC AWO.A.ALS.110 which provides guidance on controls, indicators and alerts associated with installations incorporating more than one type of appr oach system (e.g. ILS and MLS and/or GLS ).

Characteristics of the ty pes of operation Additional and more detailed information regarding the characteristics of the types of operation is provided below .

(a) DH below 30 m (100 ft) but not less than 15 m (50 ft) The RVR required by a pilot to make the decision to land from a DH below 30 m (100 ft) is less than the RVR required for a DH at 30 m (100 ft). Furthermore, the time from the DH to the start of th e flare manoeuvre will be less.

Consequently, in order to achieve the desired success rate and to preserve the safety level, it has been considered necessary that the aeroplane be fitted with an automatic landing system or a head - up landing guidance system . Use of such system s also ensures that the aeroplane is within the obstacle - free zone specified in ICAO Annex 14 during app roach and any go - around so that there is no need to take obstacle clearance into account in determining the DH . The RVR limit is set by the responsible national authority in accordance with applicable operating regulations and provides an assessment of the visibility conditions at and below the DH so that, if either the landing system or the x LS signal - in - space fails when the aeroplane is below the DH , the pilot can carry out a manual landing w ith an acceptable safety level.

The ground guidance system is ei ther : (1 ) a Facility Performance Category III or a Facility Performance Category II ILS that compl ies with the Facility Performance Categ ory III standards of ICAO Annex 10, Chapter 3 - 1 , in respect of all significant performance parameters, at least down to ILS point D, 900 m (3 00 0 ft) from the runway threshold ; or Powered by EASA eRules Page 143 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART B – APPROACH AND LANDING Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 4 – AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATION OF AEROPLANES FOR OPERATIONS WITH DECISION HEIGHTS (DHs) BELOW 30 M (100 FT) OR NO DECISION HEIGHT (DH) — CATEGORY III (CAT III) OPERATIONS (2 ) a Category III MLS that complies with the requirements of ICAO Annex 10, Chapter 3.11 ; Or (3) a GAST D GLS that compl ies with the requirements of ICAO Annex 10 (b) D H below 15 m (50 ft) Aeroplanes which have a fail - operational landing system, can be certified for operation with a DH below 15 m (50 ft).

In this type of operation, the RVR needs not only to be sufficient for t he pilot to make the decision at the DH , but also to be sufficient to enable the pilot to control the aeroplane during the ground roll. The main purpose of the DH is so that t he pilot can assess the adequacy of the visibility conditions before touchdown an d prepare to take over visual manual control. It is desirable that the DH be late in the flare after the major pitch changes have taken place, and that an automatic go - around system be fitted. There exists an unknown probability that, although the RVR is r eported to be adequate, denser patches of fog may lie on the runway, and it is thought prudent to add a margin to the bare minimum required to control the ground roll.

The RVR limit is set by the responsible national authority in accordance with the ap plic able operating regulations.

The ground guidance system ( x LS) is as described in point (a) , and, additionally, comply with a - 6 continuity of service objective (failure survival capability) of 1 – (2 x 10 ). It is assumed that the pilot is promptly notified by air traffic control ( ATC ) of a failure or degradation of the required ground equipment (e.g. loss of the st and - by x LS transmitter).

(c) No DH An aeroplane with a fail - operational landing system with automatic ground - roll control (or ground - roll guidance) m ay be certified for operation without a DH (operations when the pilot is not required to make a decision described in the definition of DH). Any required RVR limit is set by the responsible national authority in accordance with the applicable operating reg ulations.

In these visibility conditions, the pilot is likely to brake hard during the ground roll and , therefore , an anti - skid braking system is considered essential. Distance and ground speed indications and automatic braking would obviously be useful, but are not considered essential and are not required.

The ground guidance system ( Facility Performance Category III ILS , Category III MLS or GAST D GLS ) complies with the Standards of ICAO Annex 10 and, additionally, complies with an integrity - 9 – 6 obj ective of 1 – (0.5 x 10 ) ) and an ILS/MLS continuity of service objective of 1 – (2 × 10 ) or a GLS continuity of service objective as stated in ICAO Annex 10, Appendix B, paragraph 3.6.7.1.3.2 .

AMC AWO.B.CATIII.113(b)(2) Suitability of aircraft for fail - passive

operations with a decision height of 50 ft or greater

ED Decision 2022/007/R Operations in accordance with CS AWO.B.CATIII.113(b)(2) may not be suitable for all aircraft types.

When assessing the suitability of an aircraft type in respect of size and approach speed, the follow in g should be taken into account: (a) landing gear track; (b ) wingspan ; (c ) pilot's eye - to - wheel height (EWH); (d) distance from the cockpit to the main wheels; and (e ) approach speed at maximum landing weight .

The following provides additional guidance in order to assist in the determination of whether an aircraft is suitable for super fail - passive operations: (a) Landing gear track, wingspan and distance from cockpit to the main wheels The landing gear track, wingspan and distance from the cockpit to the main wheels should be considered in relation to the safety of the go - around which is likely to be conducted from a height where ground contact is likely. If the results of the simulator tests show potential for wing tip strikes or runway excursions during go - around, then it is unlikely that the aircraft can be approved for super fail - passive operations.

(b) Pilot’s eye - to - wheel height (EWH) The pilot’s EWH has a direct bearing on the height of the pilot’s eyes above the runway at the DH. This, along with th e angle of vision cut - off of the pilot’s downward view, determines the visual segment available in low visibility.

The visual segment and number of visible approach lights required are explained in AMC4 SPA.LVO.105(c). It is likely that the size of the vis ual segment will be determined by the pilot’s need to see at least one barrette of the TDZ lighting in order to have a suitable roll reference in the event of having to perform a manual go - around due to autopilot failure. Since the TDZ lighting is spaced a t a maximum of 60 - m intervals on Category III runways, a visual segment of 60 m must always be available at and below the DH for super fail - passive operations.

The EWH is affected not only by aeroplane size and geometry, but also by the pitch attitude duri ng approach (which itself, is weight - , centre - of - gravity - and configuration - dependent).

Typical EWH values for narrow - body turbojets lie between 4 and 5 metres. Aeroplanes with significantly higher values may not be suitable for super fail - passive operatio ns since the visual segment might be insufficient.

It is important to ensure that any pitch attitude changes, which may occur as a result of the automatic landing flare, are taken into account when determining the EWH. See also CS AWO.B.CATIII.110 .

Experience has shown that super fail - passive operations may be safely conducted on some aircraft types up to a maximum approach speed of 140 kt. This value equates to the upper limit of Category C aeroplanes as defined by CAT.OP.MPA.320(b) Table 1, and may be used as a general guide but it may not be limiting.

(d) Other aeroplane characteristics The requirement for the aircraft to be easily manoeuvrable relates mainly to the ability of the pilot to safely perform a manual go - around close to the ground, with limited external cues following an autopilot failure below the DH. The assumption is that the more manoeuvrable the aircraft is, the safer the go - around is likely to be.

Areas to consider when ass essing the manoeuvrability of the aircraft with respect to the manual go - around manoeuvre should include engine spool - up characteristics and trim changes due to thrust (directional and in pitch), trim changes due to flap and gear, and the ability to contro l airspeed.

The aeroplane should also be assessed from the point of view of being able to be safely controlled along the runway from the point at which the automatic landing system is normally disengaged, down to a safe taxi speed in the minimum RVR proposed.

ED Decision 2022/007/R 1 Approach The supporting flight t ests to show compliance with CS AWO.B.CATIII.115(a) in respect of approach performa nce may be a programme of flight demonstrations carried out in accordance with AMC AWO.B.CATII.113 .

2 To uchdown For compliance with CS AWO.B.CATIII.115(b) in respect of touchdown performance, a programme of flight demonstrations will be required to support the simulation and analysis.

(See AMC AWO.A.ALS .106 ) 3 Ground r oll 3.1 A programme of landings should be carried out to ensure that there is a confidence level of 90 % that the criterion of CS AWO.B.CATIII.117(a) is complied with. This programme and the analysis of the r esults should be in accordance with the procedures established for approach performance. (See AMC AWO.B.CATII.113 paragraph 2) 3.2 When operation is based on fail - operational ground roll, a programme of flight demonstration landings is necessary to support the simulation and the analysis programme which are required to demonstrate compliance with CS AWO.B.CATIII.11 7(b) .

The criteria ensure that undetected faults or rare normal errors in non - aircraft GBASs, when combined with all other nominal factors that affect landing performance, do not result in an unacceptably high probability of landing outside the limits that define a safe landing.

N ote: Appendix 1 to AMC AWO.B.CATIII.115 GBAS performance model for approach and landing simulation contains a list of references that have been used to derive the signal model. These references describe undetected non - aircraft system error conditions, rare normal performance and faults as well as the ICAO standardised ground system monitoring requirements. The aircraft requirements in this Section are intended to address non - aircraft system errors that are below th e ground monitoring thresholds. The existence of such errors is not considered a malfunction of the non - aircraft system.

For any value of GLS NSE, including the effects of undetected satellite faults and undetected faulted conditions at a single ground - ref erence receiver, it must be shown that the touchdown performance will be such that the exceedance of any of the limits prescribed in CS AWO.A.ALS.106(c) will be less than those prescribed in AMC AWO.A.ALS.106 paragraph 1.4 for the limit condition.

Other non - GLS variables that effect performance shall vary according to their expected distributions when assessing this compatibility. Credit for the prior probability of the fault cannot be taken when evaluating the required landing probabilities; however, credit may be taken for the ground subsystem’s probability of detection for satellite faults and the aircraft’s probability of detection for single - refere nce receiver faults.

Note: It is assumed that operations will be approved with knowledge of the runway - specific glide path and threshold crossing height values and the aircraft’s capability. Therefore, it is not necessary to determine compliance with this Section using the glide path and threshold crossing height values set to the limit allowed for the aircraft.

4.2 Compatibility with worst - case undetected guidance errors Rare ionosphere events and undetected satellite or ground station failures could resul t in significant vertical (and lateral) position errors. Under certain conditions, such errors may go undetected by the system and could result in erroneous guidance if not mitigated.

The effect of such errors may not be observable by the flight crew.

All undetected errors that are not extremely improbable shall not prevent a safe landing and/or go - around when all other variables that effect the performance are at their nominal values. The effect of worst - case undetected errors on landing system performance shall be assessed via simulation using the GLS noise model provided in Appendix 1 to AMC to Subpart A . The worst - case undetected errors shall be simulated by using the maximum range domain error given in Table 5 of Appendix 1 to AMC to Powered by EASA eRules Page 155 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART B – APPROACH AND LANDING Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 4 – AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATION OF AEROPLANES FOR OPERATIONS WITH DECISION HEIGHTS (DHs) BELOW 30 M (100 FT) OR NO DECISION HEIGHT (DH) — CATEGORY III (CAT III) OPERATIONS Subpart A in conjunction with the appropriate geometry screening factors used by the aircraft.

demonstrations

ED Decision 2022/007/R 1 Limit case analysis Demonstration of compliance with paragraph 4.1 of AMC AWO.B.CATIII.115 may be done by analysis to show that for all possible sizes of navigation error, the joint probability that the error is not detected and that the error results in the aeroplane landing outside the safe landing box – 5 as defined in CS AWO.A.ALS.106 is less than 1 × 10 . The analysis uses the nominal touchdown distributions (lateral and longitudinal) along with the geometry factors (S and S ), and the vert lat maximum allowable P performance of the monitors for satellite ranging source failures and md for the reference receiver fault monitor (RRFM). The nominal touchdown distribution is used to compute the prob ability of an unsuccessful landing given a particular size of error 𝑃 ( 𝐸 ) .

𝑈𝐿 | 𝐸 This probability is then multiplied by the probability of an error not being detected as a function of E, P (E). The probability of an unsuccessful landing given in error is the joint probability that md the fault that causes an error, E, is not detected and the landing will be unsuccessful given an error, E: − 5 ( ) ( ) ( ) 𝑃 𝐸 = 𝑃 𝐸 ∙ 𝑃 𝐸 < 10 [1 ] 𝑈𝐿 𝑈𝐿 | 𝐸 𝑚𝑑 ( ) To form the conditional unsuccessful landing probability , 𝑃 𝐸 , a condition al touchdown 𝑈𝐿 | 𝐸 distribution should be used that would result from a constant bias error in addition to the fault - free NSE and flight technical error distributions. This should be done for the full range of relevant error sizes to form the total conditional p robability of an unsuccessful landing as a function of the error. The conditional unsuccessful landing probability is expressed as follows for the land - short and land - long cases: LSC Land short 𝑃 = p ( x , E ) dx [2] ∫ ( ) TSE _ LON | E ( 𝑈𝐿 | 𝐸 ) 𝐸 − ∞ ∞ Land long 𝑃 ( 𝐸 ) = p ( x , E ) dx [3] ∫ 𝑈𝐿 | 𝐸 TSE _ LON | E LLC Land with wheels less than 5 ft from the edge of the runway: ∞ − RWE + GW / 2 𝑃 ( 𝐸 ) = p ( x , E ) dx + p ( x , E ) dx [4] ∫ ∫ 𝑈𝐿 | 𝐸 TSE _ LAT | E TSE _ LAT | E RWE − GW / 2 − ∞ where: LSC is the land - short criteria (i.e. 200 ft) ; LLC is the land - long criteria (i.e. 3 000 ft) ; RWE is the lateral landing criteria (i.e. 70 ft) ; Powered by EASA eRules Page 156 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather SUBPART B – APPROACH AND LANDING Operations (CS - AWO) SECTION 4 – AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATION OF AEROPLANES FOR OPERATIONS WITH DECISION HEIGHTS (DHs) BEL OW 30 M (100 FT) OR NO DECISION HEIGHT (DH) — CATEGORY III (CAT III) OPERATIONS GW is the lateral distance between the main landing gear ; ( ) p x , E is the probability density function for the longitudinal touchdown given TSE _ LON | E a bias of magnitude E ; and ( ) p x , E is the probability density function for the lateral touchdown given a bias TSE _ LAT | E of magnitude E.

Note: Care should be taken to ensure consistency of units when making these calculations.

1.1 Computing P for ranging source errors md A bound on the probability of missed detection for the ranging source error , 𝑃 ( 𝐸 ) , is 𝑚𝑑 𝑅 defined by the performance constraint region given in ICAO Annex 10 Appendix B Section 3.6.7.3.3.2.

1.3 Example assessments Figure 2 illustrates a landing - short assessment for a hypothetical aeroplane with a nominal longitudinal touchdown point of 1 500 ft from the threshold and a dispersion that can be bounded by a Gaussian distribution with σ = 220 ft. Also , a max ( | S | ) Apr . i vert of 5, VAL of 10 metres and GPA of 3 degrees is used. Rearranging equation [1]: − 5 𝑃 ( 𝐸 ) < [9] 𝑈𝐿 | 𝐸 𝑃 ( 𝐸 ) 𝑚𝑑 – 5 Hence, by dividing 10 by the P curves for satellite ranging sources and RRFM, the grey md ‘keep - out regions’ shown in Figure 2 can be obtained. The assessment is then simple. If the curve for 𝑃 ( 𝐸 ) does not enter the keep - out regions, then the requirement that 𝑈𝐿 | 𝐸 − 5 ( ) 𝑃 𝐸 < 10 is met for all values of E.

𝑈𝐿 An alternative approach to the analysis is illustrated in Figure 3 where the probability of an unsuccessful landing is explicitly calculated for both monitor types (ranging sources and RRFM).

Extension of these examples to the land - long and lateral cases is straightforward.

AMC AWO.B.CATIII.118 Landing distance

E D Decision 2022/007/R This AMC applies when using HUDs in manual CAT III operations. A relevant feature of the HUD system to consider would be flare guidance.

Relevant procedural elements associated with using the HUD would be any specific aeroplane conf iguration, approach speed increment, thrust management or automatic throttle / thrust speed target.

The increment of the landing distance referred to in CS AWO.B.CATIII.118 when using a HUD may be derived as follo ws: (a) The configuration, procedure and speed should be those recommended in the associated procedures.

(b) The distance from the runway threshold to the touchdown point should be the distance from the runway threshold to the glideslope origin (SO) plus t he mean distance from the glideslope origin to touchdown (STD) plus three times the standard deviation of the distance from the glideslope origin to touchdown (σSTD).

(c) The gross distance from touchdown to come to a complete stop should be determined in accordance with CS 25.125(b)(1) through (5), assuming a touchdown speed equal to the main touchdown speed plus three standard deviations of the touchdown speed.

Note: The main values and standard deviations considered in paragraphs (b) and (c) should be based on random variations as determined by AMC AWO.A.HUD.107 . The systematic variation of parameters should cover the normal range of AFM conditions.

The manoeuvre should not require exceptional piloting skill, alertness or s trength, and should ensure that the aeroplane remains within the obstacle limitation surface specified in ICAO Annex 14 for a precision approach runway Category II or III.

2.1.2 For aircraft for which a go - around from a very low altitude may result in inad vertent runway contact, the safety of the procedure should be established giving consideration to at least the following: a. Where the guidance information provided by the go - around mode is retained, it should be shown to have safe and acceptable character istics throughout the manoeuvre.

b. Other systems (e.g. automatic throttle, brakes, spoilers and reverse thrust) should not operate in a way that would adversely affect the safety of the go - around manoeuvre.

2.1.3 Non - normal procedures that are applicable following a loss of a fail - passive automatic landing system (see paragraph 3) may require the flight crew to revert to manual control using primary display information, such as attitude and airspeed, to perform a manual go - around. Where applicable, conside ration should be given to failure conditions that could result in a loss of both the automatic landing system and the relevant primary display information.

2.2 Performance The safety of the go - around manoeuvre may be determined by flight testing (typically 10 go - arounds) supported, where necessary, by simulator testing.

If a loss of the automatic pilot can result in a loss of the flight director guidance, this should be considered during the performance demonstration.

3 Manual landing Following a loss of th e automatic control capability below the DH, a safe landing should be demonstrated in accordance with established procedures.

a. The demonstration should take into account at least the following variables: i. centre of gravity (CG), ii. landing weight, and iii. wind conditions.

b. If the demonstration is to be performed with a simulator, the simulator should be: i. equipped with a visual system that provides an acceptable representation of the actual visibility conditions for which operational ap proval is sought; and ii. suitably validated by flight test demonstrations for the landing manoeuvre.

The number of manual landings to be performed should be related to the probability of a loss of the automatic landing system below the DH.

4 Considerat ion of the effects of engine failure 4.1 Where the landing system provides automatic control of the rudder pedals, a demonstration should be made to show that, for automatic approaches initiated with all engines operating: a. automatic go - around, and b. au tomatic landing can be performed safely following the failure of any single engine at any point during the approach down to touchdown without the pilot needing to intervene and assume control.

4.2 The automatic pilot should remain engaged following the failure of any single engine, taking account of the loss of systems (e.g. electrical and hydraulic systems) associated with the failed engine.

ED Decision 2022/007/R The certification specifications of this Subpart are applicable to aeroplanes for which certification is sought to allow the performance of take - off in visibility lower than th at which is sufficient to ensure that the pilot will at all times have sufficient vi sibility to complete or abandon the take - off safely. This Subpart is only concerned with directional guidance during the ground - borne portion of the take - off (i.e. from start to main - wheel lift - off, or standstill in the event of abandoned take - off). (See AMC AWO.C.TOO.101 ) [Issue: CS - AWO/2]

AMC AWO.C.TOO.101 Applicability and terminology

ED Decision 2022/007/R An aeroplane with a basic airworthiness approval is eligible for take - off in reported visibility conditions which are sufficient to ensure that the pilot will at all times have sufficient visibility to complete or abandon the take - off safely. The purpose o f this Subpart is to specify the supplementary airworthiness criteria for aeroplanes equipped to take off in lower visibilit y conditions . This Subpart is only concerned with directional guidance during the ground - borne portion of the take - off (i.e. from st art to main wheel lift - off, or standstill in th e event of abandoned take - off).

The RVR limits for take - off of transport aircraft are set by the responsible national authority in accordance with the applicable operating regulations. The purpose of the guida nce system, which is the subject of these requirements, is to permit a reduction of these limits but not to allow a take - off in visibility below the minimum necessary for a normal t ake - off using visual reference.

The requirements are based on the assumptio n that, if the take - off guidance system is based on x LS information, operational precautions are taken to ensure that the locali s er signal is suitable (e.g. in each case the ILS, the locali s er is Category III, or the airborne system has been shown to perfo rm satisf actorily on that installation). For other xLS systems, it should be verified that the runway is covered by the systems’ service volume (e.g. GBAS point).

Terminology ‘Take - off guidance system’: a take - off guidance system provides directional guida nce information to the flight crew during the take - off or abandoned take - off. It includes all the airborne sensors, computers, controllers and indicators necessary for the display of such guidance. Guidance normally takes the form of command information, b ut it may alternatively be situation (or deviation) information.

Visual reference remains the primary means of guidance, with the system providing reve rsionary guidance. The pilot would , therefore , not commence the take - off run unless the prescribed visual reference had been acquired and the values of the RVR reported were adequate.

Experience indicates that pilots are able to hold the centre line in ver y low visibilit y conditions (e.g.

one or two lights visible at one time), and that this ability improves as the speed increases. However, in such low visibilit y conditions, the pilot may over - control in attempting to return to the centre line if the aeropl ane deviates for any reason, and the reducing speed of an abandoned take - off may be the most critical phase in this respect.

AMC AWO.C.TOO.106 Performance

ED Decision 2022/007/ R (see also Figure 1) The factors that affect the behaviour of the aeroplane include, for example, wind conditions, xLS ground facility characteristics, aeroplane configurations, weight, and centre of gravity (CG), and should be covered by flight testing.

The demonstration of system performance should c omprise at least the following: — 10 all - engine take - offs ; — 3 take - offs with simulated failure of the critical engine at V + 10 kt ; and 1MIN — 2 rejected take - offs with simulated failu re of the critical en gine at V .

Half of the all - engines take - offs and two of each of the engine failure conditions should be carried out in crosswinds equal to or greater than the level being sought for certification with optional aeroplane and runway configurations. The rema inder should be carried out in optional winds in the most adverse aeroplane configuration at two different runways, which represent the reasonable extremes of thos e likely to be used in service.

In the engine failure take - offs, V should not be less than 2 8 km/h (15 kt) above the engine failure R speed and should be delayed until the path of the aeroplane has stabilised and the aeroplane is converging with the centre line.

The take - off may beg i n using external visual reference but, from a speed no greater tha n 50 % of V , the guidance commands should be followed as accurately as possible without using the external view.

To ensure that this is done , it is recommended that the windscreen be blanked.

For x LS - based systems , compliance may be shown using an x LS, wh ich complies with the requirements for Category III Operations in relation to centring error and beam bends along the runway. Allowance may be made for long - term perturbatio ns of the x LS locali s er.

GENERAL ACCEPTABLE MEANS OF COMPLIANCE

AMC AWO - 1 All - weather operations recertification following the

installation of new or modified navigati on receivers providing xLS

capability

ED Decision 2022/007/R 1 Purpose The purpose of this AMC is to provide a cceptable m eans of c ompliance for retrofit certifications, addressing the certification of x LS receivers in the so - called ‘ ILS l ookalike ’ applications, and the certification of ILS installations with either new or modified receivers .

2 Scope CS AWO already provide a cceptable m eans of c ompliance for the certification of new x LS installations. Where, for an already certifi ed installation, it is established that the proposed new or modified navigation receiver configuration can be considered to have ‘ ILS lookalike ’ characteristics, the contents of this AMC may be used as an alternative for that part of the certification affect ed by the revised installation.

This AMC provides acceptable means of compliance for the approval of a ll - w eather o perations.

Other generic certification processes (such as software, equipment, and radio approvals , etc.)

remain equally applicable to new and retrofit applications. These general certification considerations are summarised for reference in paragraph 5 below.

3 Definition s ‘ ILS lookalike ’ is the ability of a non - ILS - based navigation receiver function to provide operational characteristics and in terface functionality to the rest of the aircraft equivalent to th ose provided by an ILS - based receiver function. Specifically , in the case of an xL S receiver function, the output should be in DDM/micro amps, with a sensitivity equivalent to an ILS receive r taking account of the effects of the runway length.

‘Impact assessment’ is the justification that is provided, usually in a certification plan, to determine the scope of work and certification activity that are required for a retrofit certification.

4 Re lated r equirements and d ocuments This AMC provides another means of compliance for retrofit certifications to the following CS - AWO and CS - 25 AMC material.

Paragraph 5.3.4 Flight demonstration of autopilot failure conditions coupled to an ILS glide path Powered by EASA eRules Page 180 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather GENERAL ACCEPTABLE MEANS OF Operations (CS - AWO) COMPLIANCE 5 General c ertification c onsiderations 5 .1 Certification p rocess An ‘ impact assessment ’ is required to determine the tasks that are required to achieve approval of the new receiver functionality in a retrofit application. Based on the ‘ impact assessment ’, the certification plan should consider: ( a) the d ifferences between the curr ent basis of certification and that requested (if applicable) ; ( b) t he functionality being added ; and ( c) t he credit that can be taken for the existing app roval.

5 .2 Equipment a pproval Suitable procedures for equipment approval should be employed. CS - E TSO compliance should be demonstrated , where appropriate, including software qualification and receiver environmental qualification to the appropriate levels.

5 .3 Aircraft i nstallation a pproval (CS - 25) The following should be considered for the approval of the installation: ( a) i mpact on aeroplane system safety assessments (SSAs); (b) radio approval (e.g. antenna positions, range, polar diagrams, coverage, compatibility between receiver and antenna); ( c) electromagnetic interference ( EMI ) / electromagnetic comp atibility ( EMC ) testing ; ( d) f unctional integration aspects of the receiver with respect to other systems, controls, warnings, and displays ; ( e) e lectrical loading ; ( f) f light data recorder requirements ; ( g) i mpact on the aircraft f light m anual ; and ( h) c ertification means of compliance for the receiver installation , e.g. ground and/or flight testing.

6 CS - AWO re certification of the x LS f unction following the i ntroduction of a n ew or m odified x LS n avigation r eceiver i nstallation The magnitude of the certif ication program me will be based upon an ‘ impact assessment ’ of the differences between the configuration offered for certification and the pre - existing x LS receiver system installed in a given aircraft type. The ‘ impact assessment ’ should establish the bas is and rationale for the work to be accomplished to achieve certification.

6 .1 Impact a ssessment The impact assessment should assess the following aspects of the new or modified x LS receiver, or receiver function, for equivalence with the existing x LS rece iver configuration: ( a) h ardware design ; ( b) s oftware design ; ( c) s ignal processing and functional performance ; Powered by EASA eRules Page 181 of 183 | May 2022 Easy Access Rules for All - Weather GENERAL ACCEPTABLE MEANS OF Operations (CS - AWO) COMPLIANCE ( d) f ailure analysis ; and ( e) r eceiver function, installation and integration (e.g. with controls, indicators and alerts ) .

The impact assessment should also identify any additional considerations. This may include: ( a) a ny functionality, or provisions for future functionality, which hav e no impact on the functionality for which certification is sought ; and ( b) a ny shared resources, which will support future functionality.

Based upon the assumption that the x LS receiver, or receiver function, can be shown to be equivalent to the current x LS configuration, it may be proposed that the new installation be treated as a new x LS receiver for approval on a given aeroplane type.

6 .2 Failure a nalysis The failure characteristics of the new or modified installation should be reviewed in the context o f the safety assessments of systems using x LS data, to ensure that the failure characteristics are equivalent to, or are compatible with and do not invalidate, the current safety assessments.

6 .3 Flight t esting For an installation which can be treated as a new x LS receiver, a flight test program me of typically a minimum of 10 – 15 approaches terminating in an automatic landing and roll - out (if applicable) using the flight control/guidance system, including a minimum of 2 x LS facilities should be carried out. The approaches should include captures from both sides of the beam.

The approach and landing performance (flight path deviation, touchdown data , etc.) , as appropriate, should be shown to be equivalent to that achieved in the original x LS certification. Rec orded flight test data may be required to support the equivalency demonstration.

A demonstration of take - off guidance performance should be included where applicable.

6.4 Antenna location The implication of differences in the position of the xLS aircraft a ntennas should be assessed for their impact on: (a) the wheel - to - threshold crossing height; and (b) the lateral and vertical performance.
