However automatic landing in CAT 1 or better
weather conditions is possible on CAT 1 ground
installations or when ILS critical areas are not
protected provided the following precautions are
taken
~ the airline has checked that the ILS beam quality
and the effect of the terrain profile before the
runway has no adverse effect on A.P guidance. In
particular the effect of terrain discontinuities within
300 m before runway threshold must be assessed.
