The European Joint Aviation Authority (JAA) introduced its Joint Airworthiness Requirements for Operations (JAR-OPS1) in April 1995. The airport lighting system requirements and associated operating minima authorized by the JAA for use during low-visibility takeoff and landing operations are lower than that used by the United States (U.S.) and American air carrier operators. In an effort to standardize aircrew procedures, training, and charting requirements, both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the JAA would like to harmonize low-visibility operating requirements and minima to the maximum extent possible. This report describes a simulator evaluation to determine the feasibility of adopting the JAA lighting system requirements and operating minima as the FAA standard for low-visibility operations. The data results from this evaluation will be used by FAA Headquarters to formulate the U.S. position on adopting the JAA operational requirements for low-visibility operations.
