“Appendix 2 to OPS 1.430 (c)Aeroplane categories — All Weather Operations
(a)
Classification of aeroplanes
The criteria taken into consideration for the classification of aeroplanes by categories is the indicated airspeed at threshold (VAT) which is equal to the stalling speed (VSO) multiplied by 1,3 or VS1G multiplied by 1,23 in the landing configuration at the maximum certificated landing mass. If both VSO and VS1G are available, the higher resulting VAT shall be used. The aeroplane categories corresponding to VAT values are in the Table below:
| Aeroplane Category | VAT |
|---|---|
| A | Less than 91 kt |
| B | From 91 to 120 kt |
| C | From 121 to 140 kt |
| D | From 141 to 165 kt |
| E | From 166 to 210 kt |
The landing configuration which is to be taken into consideration shall be defined by the operator or by the aeroplane manufacturer.
(b)
Permanent change of category (maximum landing mass)
(1)
An operator may impose a permanent, lower, landing mass, and use this mass for determining the VAT if approved by the Authority.
(2)
The category defined for a given aeroplane shall be a permanent value and thus independent of the changing conditions of day-to-day operations.
