The following are LVO and require 2 qualified crew:

• LVTO (low visibility take-off)
• LTS CAT I (lower than standard category I) Using a CAT I DH minima of 200 ft but reducing the standard RVR minima from 550 m to 400 m
• ILS CAT II
• OTS CAT II (other than standard category II) Using CAT II minima with lower than required lighting infrastructure conditions
• ILS CAT IIIA and CAT IIIB
• Approaches using EVS (enhanced vision systems)

You also need to know for other questions - system minima on the approach:

• 350 ft: NDB
• 300 ft: NDB/DME - VOR
• 250 ft: VOR/DME - LOC
• 200 ft: ILS CAT I

All of these approaches are NOT LVO. (Note: This includes ILS CAT I although it is a precision approach) Remember - you can fly these single pilot and using an altimeter.

Regulation (EU) No 965/2012
SPA.LVO.100 Low visibility operations

The operator shall only conduct the following low visibility operations (LVO) when approved by the competent authority:

• (a) low visibility take-off (LVTO) operation;
• (b) lower than standard category I (LTS CAT I) operation;
• (c) standard category II (CAT II) operation;
• (d) other than standard category II (OTS CAT II) operation;
• (e) standard category III (CAT III) operation;
• (f) approach operation utilising enhanced vision systems (EVS) for which an operational credit is applied to reduce the runway visual range (RVR) minima by no more than one third of the published RVR.
