Question 1

What are the two kinds of low altitude approaches?

Answer 1

1) course reversals

2) procedure tracks

Question 2

Unless ATC clears you otherwise how’re you expected to fly the approach?

Answer 2

Fly to the IAF and execute the full instrument approach procedure as published

Question 3

When is radar required?

Answer 3

When approaches depict only a final approach segment starting at the FAF

Question 4

When cleared the approach, maintain the last assigned altitude until what?

Answer 4

Until established on a segment of the published IAP

Question 5

Prior to the initial approach fix, slow to what speed?

Answer 5

Aircraft maneuvering or, if not specified, holding airspeed

Question 6

What are the two types of course reversals?

Answer 6

1) procedure turn

2) HILO PT

Question 7

When do you not execute a procedure turn or HILO PT?

Answer 7

• St in
• NoPT routing
• Established in holding, cleared approach and holding course and PT course are the same
• Radar vectors to final
• Timed approach

Question 8

How can you tell a procedure turn on a plate?

Answer 8

A barb indicating the maneuvering side

Question 9

Procedure turns may safely be flown up to what speed? What is FAA maximum recommended airspeed?

Answer 9

250 KIAS; 200 KIAS

Question 10

What are three common methods for executing a procedure turn?

Answer 10

Holding technique
45/180
80/260

Question 11

When flying the outbound leg what must you do?

Answer 11

Adjust the outbound leg length to remain within protected airspace (remain within distance). And allow time for config and a descent

Question 12

What do you do for approaches where no FAF is depicted?

Answer 12

The FAF is now considered to be the point when you begin your descent from the procedure turn completion altitude

Question 13

When do you begin timing for a holding method PT?

Answer 13

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

Question 14

When do you begin timing for a holding method PT?

Answer 14

Outbound abeam the PT fix unless if you cannot determine abeam start timing upon completing outbound turn

Question 15

When can you descend from the PT fix altitude?

Answer 15

Outbound and abeam (or wings level outbound if cannot determine outbound)

Question 16

When can you descend from the PT completion altitude?

Answer 16

When established on the inbound segment of the approach

Question 17

When can you descend from a 45/180 or 80/260 PT?

Answer 17

Outbound abeam on a parallel or intercept heading

Question 18

How do you execute a 45/180?

Answer 18

Turn 45 deg away from outbound track toward maneuvering side. Begin timing when start turn (1 min for Cat A and B and 1:15 for Cat C and above) and then begin 180 deg turn in opposite direction to intercept inbound course

Question 19

How do you execute a 80/260?

Answer 19

Make 80 deg turn away from the outbound track toward maneuvering side followed by an immediate 260 in other direction to intercept inbound course

Question 20

How do you know it’s a HILO PT?

Answer 20

The holding pattern track is depicted with a heavy black line

Question 21

If cleared for the approach while holding in a published HILO PT, what should you do?

Answer 21

Complete the holding pattern and commence the approach without making any additional turns.

Question 22

How do you fly a procedure track?

Answer 22

When over the IAF turn immediately in the shorter direction to intercept the published track. Conform to specific ground track. If heading within 90 deg of procedure track course, use normal lead points—otherwise overfly the fix and turn in the shorter direction to intercept the procedure track course

Question 23

When can you descend from a procedure track ?

Answer 23

1) . When descent depicted at the IAF, abeam or past IAF and on a parallel or intercept heading to procedural track course
2) . When teardrop depicted, do not descend from turn altitude until established on inbound segment of procedural track

Question 24

If an altitude restriction is depicted at a fix defined as an inter a radial and an arc, by when must you comply with the altitude restriction?

Answer 24

NLT completion of the lead turn associated with that fix

Question 25

When dealing with arc-radial and arc-localizer altitude restrictions when are you considered established on the next segment of the approach?

Answer 25

Once a lead point is reached and the turn to the next segment begun.

Question 26

What is a TAA?

Answer 26

Terminal Areival Area, it is used for some RNAV (GPS) approaches

Question 27

How is a “Basic T” designed?

Answer 27

1-3 IAFs, an intermediate fix, a FAF and MAP. Forms a T shape, initial segment 3-6 NM long normally, intermediate 5-7 NM long, final segment 5 NM

Question 28

What are the three standard TAA areas?

Answer 28

1) . Straight-in
2) . Left base
3) . Right base

Question 29

What does a feeder route do?

Answer 29

It is established to provide a transition from the en route structure to the appropriate IAF. It terminates at the TAA boundary

Question 30

When can a pilot descend with regards to a TAA?

Answer 30

To TAA altitude after crossing the TAA boundary and cleared by ATC

Question 31

Answer 31
