502 Simulated Approach Flashcards
SIMULATED APPROACH
An instrument approach procedure conducted in visual meteorological conditions by an aircraft not on an IFR clearance.
Types of simulated approaches:
- Full procedure simulated approach
- Straight-in simulated approach
- Vectored simulated approach
- Pilot vectored simulated approach
straight-in approach
Definition 1: A VFR approach in which the aircraft enters the aerodrome traffic circuit on the final leg without having executed any other part of the circuit
Definition 2: An IFR approach in which the aircraft begins the final approach without first having executed a procedure turn
Vectored Practice Approaches
-conducted when the IFR controller issues vectors to an aircraft until interception of the final approach.
-The heading to intercept is at an angle of 30° from the final approach interception.
Pilot-Vectored Simulated Approach
-the pilot determines the headings to be flown
-pilot can inform ATC that the simulated approach will be conducted through self-vectoring and the controller will approve it
You may, approve a simulated approach if:
- VFR conditions exist at the airport.
- Traffic permits.
- You instruct the pilot to maintain VFR at all times.
Phraseology for approving simulated approach:
SIMULATED (type) APPROACH APPROVED, MAINTAIN VFR AT ALL TIMES
After completion of the simulated approach, the pilot may request one of the following manoeuvres:
- Low approach to the runway with which it is aligned
- Conduct the published missed approach
- Touch-and-go on the runway with which it is aligned
- Stop-and-go on the runway with which it is aligned
- Full stop on the runway with which it is aligned
- Circle for the active runway
- Join base/downwind for the active runway, then request:
o A low approach
o A touch-and-go
o A stop-and-go
o A full stop - Conduct another approach (either the same as the one just completed or an approach on a different runway).
- Fly to another location, etc.
Phraseology to Approach with Circling
… CIRCLING [direction (NORTH/WEST/SOUTH/EAST)] FOR (runway id/ANY RUNWAY IS APPROVED)
POINT OUT
An action taken by a controller to transfer the identification of an aircraft to another controller, when control and radio communication will not be transferred.
Receiving controller point-out responsibilities:
An automated point-out is available:
An automated point-out is NOT available:
After approval:
An automated point-out is available: you may electronically approved the point-out
An automated point-out is NOT available: If the aircraft’s position corresponds with the information provided by the originating controller, you may approve the point-out
After approval: Separate aircraft under your control from the pointed-out aircraft
When in direct communication with an aircraft in airspace under the jurisdiction of another controller, ……
coordinate with that controller before authorizing a change in the aircraft’s altitude, route, speed, or transponder code.
The information provided to the IFR controller as a point-out are:
- Position
- Aircraft call sign
- Altitude
- Simulated approach
- Other data, as required
If radio communication will not be transferred and an aircraft will or may enter airspace that is under the jurisdiction of another controller, …..
obtain approval from that controller before permitting the aircraft to enter the controller’s airspace.
Originating controller point-out responsibilities:
An automated point-out is available:
An automated point-out is NOT available:
After point-out approval:
An automated point-out is available: use automated point-out
An automated point-out is NOT available: Identify aircraft in accordance with procedures in non-automated handoff, and inform the receiving controller of the following:
- aircraft’s identification/SSR code (as necessary)
- aircraft’s track and altitude
After point-out approval: Before making any changes to the flight path, altitude, or data tag information for any pointed-out aircraft, coordinate with the receiving controller, if appropriate
