What is the maximum runway length for which takeoff is performed when landing on a CAT II approach?

• A. 5000 ft
• B. 6000 ft
• C. 4000 ft
• D. 4500 ft

Answer: (A)

CAT II operations involve stricter instrument approach requirements, which constrains how takeoff is planned when a CAT II landing is being performed. The maximum runway length used for takeoff in this scenario is five thousand feet. This ceiling keeps takeoff performance, abort capability, and obstacle clearance margins consistent with the CAT II approach environment, providing a safe, standardized procedure. Shorter runways would still meet the limit, but they aren’t the maximum; longer runways exceed the defined limit for this specific CAT II takeoff scenario.
