Continually monitor your implementation and seek to identify new risks and mitigate them effectively. The end of the story of all weather operations is really that you never stop learning. However, like any change in your operation it can also create new risks that you need to understand and manage. The purpose of the new rules is clearly to help manage risks around operating in poor weather conditions. Knowing these are vital to implementation of the new rules. A key part of operating in low visibility are the technical capabilities onboard the aircraft and then also those available at the aerodrome. To operate in low visibility requires specific proficiency checks that are covered in the Air Ops Rules. The new rules have a particular focus on the competencies of your people. Ask yourself important questions about where your risks lie and encourage everyone in the organisation to talk openly about safety. This is particularly important when operating in difficult weather conditions. Considering safety as a key part of every aspect of what you do is vital. Everything in aviation requires the right mindset and culture in your organisation. The main purpose of this article, the implementation guide and the different webinars is to help you to understand and comply with these new rules. The rules are obviously new so we are firmly in the compliance box. It also highlights how the 6 parts of the Safety Map of the World will help you to understand this topic in more detail. The challenge of all-weather operations is a great example of the different parts of our aviation system coming together to achieve something amazing. In these circumstances, technology can really help to enable safe operations in situations that would otherwise be impossible or pose considerable safety challenges. All weather operations is the ability of aircraft to take off and land in an airport under low visibility conditions, this means below 550m Runway Visual Range (RVR). 1st Webinar on AWO held on 19 June - AMC and GM information available.Presentations and full recording available. 2nd Webinar on AWO held on 7 September with presentations on the NAA and operators view as well as navigation system providers.Presentations and partial recording available. 3rd Webinar on AWO held on 24 October with the focus on EFVS.The All Weather Operations (AWO) Implementation Manual (at the bottom of this page).In addition to this article, there is lots of information to support you with the implementation. The material available to help you with implementation There are also new rules on Enhanced Flight Vision Systems (EFVS) that reduces approach possibilities to 200ft without prior approval, then also to 100ft and even 0ft depending on the equipment available on the aircraft and at the aerodrome. The new regulatory framework makes it easier to enable CAT II and CAT III approaches by reducing the operational demonstration needed by the operator, for some cases the operational demonstration can be removed. Maintain the standard approach minima at airports having reduce airport infrastructure while the ‘basic aircraft’, must use higher minima.Reduce your approach minima at airports having standard ground and navigation infrastructure while the ‘basic aircraft’ maintains the standard minima or.More specifically RMT.0379 has introduced the ICAO concept of operational credits meaning that with an advanced aircraft (having enhanced capabilities) you can either: EASA Rulemaking Task RMT.0379 has recently been completed to introduce a more performance-based and technology neutral approach to enabling all weather operations. Updated version of the EASA All Weather Ops Implementation Manual published with effect from 8 January 2023 - download at the bottom of the page.Īir operations need to happen safely in all weather conditions.
