• Abstract:
  The European Joint Aviation Authority (JAA) introduced its Joint Airworthiness Requirements for Operations (JAR-OPSl) in April 1995. In general, 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. The rationale for JAA's lower operating minima is based primarily on several years of operating experience by various European ICAO member states. 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.
