8.3 Flight Procedure

Question 1

Stabilised approach criteria?

Answer 1

1. Flight Path

a. Instrument APP: By FAF/FAP/ATC vector alt, established laterally and vertically on the published profile, with correct AP/FD modes engaged.
b. Visual APP: By 1000’AAL, established vertically on the published profile (if no published profile, less than full scale deflection on PAPI/VASIS). By 300’AAL, wings level and established on extended centerline.

2. Config and Energy Mgmt

a. Configured (Flaps set, Gear down n locked, Spd brk retracted n armed)
b. Landing checklist complete
c. Speed stabilized at Vapp (By 500’AAL)
d. Thrust set to maintain Vapp

Question 2

Missed Approach Criteria?

Answer 2

1. Stabilized APP criteria not met.
2. RVR/VIS or minimum visual reference of the APP in use not achieved.
3. Loss of visual reference
4. Loss of situational awareness under MSA
5. Outcome of APP/maneuver not ensured.
6. Commander/PIC announces G/A

Question 3

Required Visual Reference?

Answer 3

If by DA/Derived DA, APP cannot be continued purely by visual reference, have to G/A.
Visual Reference Definition
a. If approach lights avail, 5 rows of rwy app/rwy lights AND one row crossbar lights visible.

b. If no approach lights, rwy threshold and touchdown zone visible.

CAT 1 Midpoint RVR - 200M
Autoland Midpoint RVR -150M

Question 4

Autoland criteria?

Answer 4

VIS 1500M

Ceiling 300’

Question 5

Holding speed and outbound leg time? (ICAO PANS OPS 3/4/5)

Answer 5

Up to 14000’ - 230kts
14001’ to 20000’ - 240kts
20001’ to 34000’ - 265kts
34000’ above - M0.83

At or below 14000’ - 1 min
Above 14000’ - 1.5 min
