(Hauteur d'alerte)Īutomatic landing system – The airborne equipment which provides automatic control of the aeroplane during the approach and landing. POPTS: Private Operator Passenger Transportation StandardĪlert height – An alert height is a height above the runway based on the characteristics of the aeroplane 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.
