Plain English Meaning

It is the official FAA permission slip an operator must hold before its pilots are allowed to use an Enhanced Flight Vision System to continue an instrument approach below normal minimums. Without this authorization on file, the EFVS cannot be used that way, even if the airplane has the equipment installed.

Full Definition
