CAA ORS9 Decision No. 47
Text in magenta in force from 30 October 2025
OPERATIONS UTILISING EVS
The pilot using a certified enhanced vision system (EVS) in accordance with the procedures and limitations of the AFM:
(a) may reduce the RVR/CMV value in column 1 to the value in column 2 of Table 6 for CAT I operations, APV operations and NPA operations flown with the CDFA technique;
(b) for CAT I operations:
(1) may continue an approach below DH to 100 ft above the runway threshold elevation provided that a visual reference is displayed and identifiable on the EVS image; and
(2) should only continue an approach below 100 ft above the runway threshold elevation provided that a visual reference is distinctly visible and identifiable to the pilot without reliance on the EVS;
(c) for APV operations and NPA operations flown with the CDFA technique:
(1) may continue an approach below DH/MDH to 200 ft above the runway threshold elevation provided that a visual reference is displayed and identifiable on the EVS image; and
(2) should only continue an approach below 200 ft above the runway threshold elevation provided that a visual reference is distinctly visible and identifiable to the pilot without reliance on the EVS.
