11-217V1 Ch11 Flashcards
What are the two kinds of low altitude approaches?
1) course reversals
2) procedure tracks
Unless ATC clears you otherwise how’re you expected to fly the approach?
Fly to the IAF and execute the full instrument approach procedure as published
When is radar required?
When approaches depict only a final approach segment starting at the FAF
When cleared the approach, maintain the last assigned altitude until what?
Until established on a segment of the published IAP
Prior to the initial approach fix, slow to what speed?
Aircraft maneuvering or, if not specified, holding airspeed
What are the two types of course reversals?
1) procedure turn
2) HILO PT
When do you not execute a procedure turn or HILO PT?
- St in
- NoPT routing
- Established in holding, cleared approach and holding course and PT course are the same
- Radar vectors to final
- Timed approach
How can you tell a procedure turn on a plate?
A barb indicating the maneuvering side
Procedure turns may safely be flown up to what speed? What is FAA maximum recommended airspeed?
250 KIAS; 200 KIAS
What are three common methods for executing a procedure turn?
Holding technique
45/180
80/260
When flying the outbound leg what must you do?
Adjust the outbound leg length to remain within protected airspace (remain within distance). And allow time for config and a descent
What do you do for approaches where no FAF is depicted?
The FAF is now considered to be the point when you begin your descent from the procedure turn completion altitude
When do you begin timing for a holding method PT?
If heading is within 90 deg of outbound procedure turn course, may use normal lead points to intercept the PT course outbound.
If do a teardrop entry, must be within 30 deg.
If intercept PT course outbound maintain this for the remainder of the outbound leg then turn to maneuvering side to reverse course
When do you begin timing for a holding method PT?
Outbound abeam the PT fix unless if you cannot determine abeam start timing upon completing outbound turn
When can you descend from the PT fix altitude?
Outbound and abeam (or wings level outbound if cannot determine outbound)
