CAT.POL.A.430 Landing — dry runways

(a)  The landing mass of the aeroplane determined in accordance with CAT.POL.A.105(a) for the estimated time of landing at the destination aerodrome and any alternate aerodrome shall allow a full stop landing from 50 ft above the threshold within 70 % of the LDA taking into account:

(1)  the altitude at the aerodrome;

(2)  not more than 50 % of the headwind component or not less than 150 % of the tailwind component;

(3)  the type of runway surface; and

(4)  the runway slope in the direction of landing.

(b)  For dispatching the aeroplane it shall be assumed that:

(1)  the aeroplane will land on the most favourable runway in still air; and

(2)  the aeroplane will land on the runway most likely to be assigned considering the probable wind speed and direction, the ground handling characteristics of the aeroplane and other conditions such as landing aids and terrain.

(c)  If the operator is unable to comply with (b)(2) for the destination aerodrome, the aeroplane shall only be dispatched if an alternate aerodrome is designated that permits full compliance with (a) and (b).
