DECISION HEIGHT DEFINITION


DH is the wheel height above the runway elevation by which a go-around must be initiated
unless adequate visual reference has been established and the aircraft position and approach
path have been assessed as satisfactory to continue the approach and landing in safety.
DH recognition must be by means of height measured by RA.
ALERTA HEIGHT DEFINITION

An Alert Height is a height above the runway, based on the characteristics of the airplane
and its fail-operational automatic landing system, above which a Category III approach
would be discontinued and a missed approach initiated if a failure occurred in one of the
redundant parts of the automatic landing system, or in the relevant ground equipment
(ICAO).

Alert height is a height defined for Category III operations with a fail-operational landing
system.
 Above AH, a go-around must be initiated if a failure affects the fail-operational
landing system.
 Below AH, the approach will be continued

• A (autotuning) – FMC selects a navaid for best position orientation
• M (manual) – VOR is manual–tuned. Manual–tuning takes priority over FMC autotuning.
