Presently, CAT II / IIIA / IIIB facilities are available on Rwy 28, Rwy 11 and Rwy 29 at Delhi and CAT II on Rwy 19L at Kolkata Generally, visibility at Delhi and Kolkata remain below 500M for longer duration in the morning hours and sometimes in the evening hours from November to January. Therefore, the whole schedule of the Airlines is badly affected which further caused inconvenience to the passengers. To meet the Operational Requirements of Modern Aircraft and also passenger convenience, CAT II / IIIA / IIIB systems have been installed at these airports.

1.3 Level of Safety
The main objective of CAT II / III A / III B operation is to provide the level of safety equivalent to other operations, but in more adverse weather conditions and lower visibility.
The desired level of safety is achieved through:
-
 Airborne Equipment

-
 Aircraft Maintenance

-Non-visual Aids (ILS facility)
-
 Visual Aids (Runway Marking, Lighting system)

-
 Airfield Maintenance

-Criteria for Obstacle Clearance
-ATC Procedures
-
 Flight Crew Procedures

-
 Flight Crew Training

CAT II weather minima are established to provide sufficient visual references at DH to permit a manual landing. (It does not mean that the landing must be made manually.)

CAT-IIIA/IIIB weather minima do not provide sufficient visual references to allow a manual landing to be made. The minima only permit the pilot to decide if the aircraft will land in the Touch-down Zone.
Therefore an automatic landing system is mandatory to perform Category-IIIA/B Operations. Its reliability must be sufficient to control the aircraft to touchdown in CAT-IIIA/B Operations and through roll-out to a safe taxi speed in CAT III B (and CAT III C when authorized).
