What are the limitations of ILS?

Limitations of the ILS Signal Interference: Terrain, vehicles, or nearby aircraft can disrupt localizer and glideslope signals. False Courses: Errant signals can cause deviations if the glideslope is intercepted from above.

What are the requirements for ILS Category 2?

The minimum for ILS approaches to CAT II runways is 100 feet DH/RVR 1200, regardless of published lower minimums. Passengers or property cannot be carried for compensation or hire. The LOA requires an operational check of the ILS equipment within the last 15 flight hours and 15 calendar days before flight.

What is a category II pilot authorization?

Category II Pilot Authorization: A part of the holders instrument rating or airline transport pilot certificate (but separately issued) that authorizes the holder to conduct Cate- gory II operations as pilot in command of specified types of airplanes.

When may a category II/ILS limitation be removed?

A pilot acting as second in command remains current for 6 calendar months after successfully completing the instrument competency check specified in FAR Part 61, if no further IFR flights are made. If this period elapses without further IFR practice, the pilot will need to retake the competency check to fly IFR again.

What is the difference between ILS Cat 2 and 3?

CAT II approaches utilize a radio altimeter for minimums (around 100 feet above touchdown) and require an autopilot coupled to the ILS, while CAT III approaches automate even more of the landing process down to very low or zero visibility.
