If the approval is missing operations of this type shall not be conducted.
Basically, CAT.POL.H.305 covers most take-off and landings performed in alpine regions (e.g. Switzerland). Most off-airport landings and take-off performed outside the H-V diagram would not allow a safe-forced landing. Usually a distance of about 250m has to be free of obstacles in order not to require this approv
