En las carteras Master Jeppesen están incluyendo los nuevos mínimos JAR’s. Este sistema será obligatorio a partir del 1 de Abril de 1998. De momento y hasta nuevo aviso estas fichas 10-9X, 20-9X se considerarán a título informativo.

Effective with the 2, February 1996 revision Jeppesen will commence publishing JAA Aerodrome Operating Minimums (AOM). Included with this Briefing Bulletin is a set of Terminal pages regarding the use and methods used to determine JAA AOM.

 GENERAL.
The member States of the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) have established rules and regulations laid down in JAR-OPS 1 Subpart E regarding the methods to determine and use of AOM. These rules were adopted by the Operations Committee on 28 March 1995. After a three-year transition period, JAR OPS 1 will become the European Standard and will apply in full after 1 April 1998 to all large civil operators, (large meaning airplanes over 10 tons MTOW and/or 20 seats or more). The deadline for small operators is the 1 April 1999. Operators with mixed fleets are to be considered large operators. AOM is obligatory for pilots and aircraft operators and will have worldwide application for JAA member States. JAA and Non-JAA operators require authorization from their State Authority to apply JAA AOM. Operators who have obtained such approval may use either the currently charted Jeppesen ECOMS or JAA AOM during the transition period, but are obliged to use JAA AOM whenever these minimums are charted.

CURRENT JAA MEMBER STATES
Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom.

1. PORTRAYAL OF AOM.
Whenever possible AOM for Take-off and Landing will be shown either on a separate minimums listing (interim solution) in front of the first instrument approach chart for the airport concerned, or on the instrument approach chart itself (in only those cases where JAA minimums have to be considered as State minimums). Chart index numbering for the AOM listing will be 10-9X, 20-9X etc. The currently charted Jeppesen AOM (ECOMS) will be left untouched as the majority of the Airway Manual users are still applying these minimums.

2. TAKE-OFF MINIMUMS.
Take-off minimums are expressed either in RVR or VIS. The reported RVR/VIS value representative for the first part of the take-off run can be replaced by pilot assessment. When Low Visibility Procedure are in force, take-off minimums may be reduced for CAT A, B & C to RVR 125m and CAT D RVR 150m.
Using an approved Lateral Guidance System a further reduction is possible for CAT A, B & C to below RVR 125m and CAT D to below RVR 150m but not lower than RVR 75m. Low Visibility take-offs for CAT A, B & C below RVR 150m and CAT D below RVR 200m require the approval of the State Authority.

3. LANDING MINIMUMS.
Precision Approach CAT I & Non-Precision Approaches.
Landing minimums are subdivided into Full, Intermediate, Basic and Nil Approach Light Facilities, depending on the approach light system and runway lights available.
Landing minimums are expressed in DH/MDH and RVR. The RVR value is related to DH/MDH and approach and runway lighting. Lowest possible CAT I minimum for all acft categories is DH 200ft/RVR550m. Lowest possible Non-Precision approach minimum for CAT A, B & C is MDH 250ft/RVR 800m and CAT D MDH 250ft/RVR 1200m.

Precision Approach CAT II
CAT II RVR values are dependent on DH and aircraft category used. Lowest possible CAT II minimum for all acft categories is DH100/RVR300m.

Precision Approach CAT III
CAT III minimums have intentionally not been considered in the Jeppesen Airway Manual due to their dependence on aircraft type and equipment on board. For detailed information refer to your Aircraft Flight Manual.

4. CONVERSION OF MET VIS TO RJR
JAA Straight-in landing minimums for Precision and Non-Precision Approaches are published exclusively as RVR values.
Where no RVR is available the reported MET VIS has to be converted into RVR by applying different conversion factors for lighting elements in operation under day/night conditions.

5. COMMENCEMENT AND CONTINUATION OF APPROACH (APPROACH BAN)
For pilots/operators who have JAR-OPS 1 approval a worldwide Approach Ban is mandatory. For details refer to the new Terminal JAA pages.
