What is the approach category for the 900 series?

The 900 series approach is classified as Category D. This categorization is essential for understanding the procedural and operational requirements for aircraft during specific phases of flight, particularly when it comes to instrument approaches. Each category is designed to help pilots and air traffic control manage operations efficiently based on the performance characteristics of the aircraft and the specific requirements of the approach.

Category D approaches are typically characterized by more complex operational factors, such as lower decision heights and visibility minimums, and they may involve larger aircraft or those with specific approach capabilities. Pilots flying Category D approaches must be aware of these complexities to ensure safety and compliance with regulatory requirements. Understanding this categorization aids in assessing the necessary training and equipment as well as ensuring that pilots are competent in navigating these more demanding approaches.
