Autoflight Approaches:
The use of the autopilot or the flight director in the OP DES or DES mode is prohibited below 1,000 feet AGL in VMC, or below the FAF, or glideslope intercept altitude in IMC. (Allegiant)
TRUE
Autoflight Approaches:
Precision Approaches:
• The use of the autopilots and flight director with the APPR pb is approved for CAT 1 ILS approaches and LDA with glideslope.
TRUE
Autoflight Approaches:
Non-Precision Approaches:
NAV, or NAV/FINAL APP mode may be used for VOR, VOR/DME, NDB, NDB/DME or RNAV (including GPS) approaches.
NAV, or NAV/FINAL APP mode cannot be used for ILS, LOC, LOC-BC, LDA, SDF, or MLS final approach.
FINAL APP mode guidance capability with GPS PRIMARY has been demonstrated down to a MDH/DH (barometric) of 250 ft.
TRUE
Autoflight Approaches:
RNAV Approaches:
RNAV approaches without GPS PRIMARY may be performed only if the radio NAVAID
coverage supports the RNP value and HIGH accuracy is displayed on the MCDU with
the specified RNP, and operational approval is obtained.
For GPS approaches, GPS PRIMARY must be available.
TRUE
Autoflight Approaches:
VOR, VOR/DME, NDB, or NDB/DME approaches:
May be performed, in NAV, or NAV APP and FINAL APP mode, provided:
— GPS PRIMARY is available. In this case, the reference NAVAID may be unserviceable, or the airborne radio equipment may be inoperative, or not installed, provided operational approval is obtained.
Or
— Without GPS PRIMARY:
• The reference NAVAID and the corresponding airborne equipment is serviceable,
tuned, and monitored during the approach, or
• The radio NAVAID coverage supports the RNP value, specified for the approach procedure, and an operational approval is obtained.
Autoflight Approaches:
NAV MODE MAY BE USED:
After takeoff provided FMGS runway updating has been checked.
May be used in the terminal area, provided:
— GPS PRIMARY is available, or
— HIGH accuracy is displayed, and the appropriate RNP is checked or entered on
the MCDU, or
— NAVAID raw data is monitored.
Autoflight Approaches:
WGS 84
For instrument procedures not coded in the WGS 84 coordinate system, the GPS must be deselected, unless the shift between the local coordinate system and the WGS 84 is found acceptable for the intended operation.
NOTE:
1. The assessment of this shift can be done:
a. In flight, monitoring the NAVAID raw data in non RNAV procedures,
b. On ground performing a GPS survey of the procedure waypoints.
2. RNAV (GPS) and RNAV (RNP) approach procedures require WGS 84
coordinates and GPS.
Autoflight Approaches:
(A319) In the case of one engine inoperative, the use of the autopilot is not allowed to
perform Non Precision Approaches in the following Flight Modes:
– FINAL APP
– NAV/VS
– NAV/FPA
NOTE: The use of FD in NAV mode remains authorized
Autoflight Approaches:
When the weather is below VFR minimums (1,000/3), all Non-Precision Approaches will be flown utilizing the autopilot with the exception of a Non-Precision Approach with One Engine Inoperative (OEI)(A319 Only). (Allegiant)
