    the following points (47a) and (47b) are inserted:

    1. (47a)

      ‘“type A instrument approach operation” means an instrument approach operation with a minimum descent height or decision height at or above 75 m (250 ft);

      4. 2. Category II (CAT II)

    4. a decision height lower than 60 m (200 ft), but not lower than 30 m (100 ft) and a runway visual range not less than 300 m;

      5. 3. Category IIIA (CAT IIIA)

    5. a decision height lower than 30 m (100 ft) or no decision height and a runway visual range not less than 175 m;

      6. 4. Category IIIB (CAT IIIB)

    6. a decision height lower than 15 m (50 ft) or no decision height and a runway visual range less than 175 m, but not less than 50 m;

      7. 5. Category IIIC (CAT IIIC)

    7. no decision height and no runway visual range limitation;’.
