(2)  The pilot-in-command of a Singapore registered aircraft must take into account the following factors when establishing the aerodrome operating minima:
(a)the type, performance and handling characteristics of the aircraft;
(b)the pilot-in-command’s competence and experience;

(d)the adequacy and performance of the available visual and non‑visual ground aids;
(e)the equipment available on the aircraft for the purpose of navigation and control of the flight path, during take‑off, approach, flare, landing, rollout and any missed approach;
