Category II Operations Manuals

Have you ever been stranded on the ramp - waiting for the next weather report - hoping the weather has improved enough to allow you and your important passengers, (the 'Boss') to depart?

If you're like the majority of pilots today, you operate the finest corporate aircraft with some of the most sophisticated, state-of-the-art avionics equipment available. Why not take advantage of the technology? Most pilots are content to operate aircraft restricted to Category I limitations. The Airmen's Information Manual limits Category I operations to a Decision Height (DH) of 200 feet and Runway Visual Range (RVR) of 2,400 feet, with touch-down-zone and center-line-lighting of RVR of 1,800 feet for Category A, B, and C aircraft.

Regulations state that "no person may operate a civil aircraft in a Category II or III operation unless the flight crew consists of a two pilot crew who hold the appropriate authorizations and ratings, and that each flight crew member has adequate knowledge of, and familiarity with the aircraft and the procedures to be used, and the instrument panel in front of the pilot controlling the aircraft has appropriate instrumentation for the type of flight control guidance system that is being used."

Additionally, the operator conducting Category II or III operations must develop a Category II or III Flight Operations Manual. The manual must be specific to the aircraft, the operator, the type of operations to be conducted, the procedures, instructions and limitations of that operation, the instruments and equipment that are required and the inspection and maintenance program for that equipment.

Once the Manual is approved, it must be available in the airplane at all times. An additional copy must be kept at he principal operations base and each copy must be kept current. With the additional maintenance requirements of RVSM-related equipment, obtaining Category II or Category III operational authority can be less expensive than you think!

Organized in a logical manner, the D&D Manual contains flight operational procedures, crew training programs, inspection and maintenance programs for the instruments and equipment, and forms to provide a structured monitoring system. All you need in one manual, complete and concise.

The D&D CAT II and CAT III Flight Operations Manual provides procedures that allow your company to capitalize on available resources. With your aircraft appropriately equipped, your flight crew highly qualified, CAT II operations will leverage your valuable assets and increase your level of safety. Don't waste valuable time and resources on the ground. Put your company safely back in the air and ahead of the competition!
