Question 16

Define the Obstacle Clearance Altitude/Height

Answer 16

The lowest altitude/height above the elevation of the relevant runway threshold or above the aerodrome elevation as applicable used in establishing the compliance with the appropriate obstacle clearance criteria

Question 17

Define VM (C)

Answer 17

Visual Manoeuvring (Circling)

Used to describe the visual phase of flight, after completing an instrument approach, where an a/c is manoeuvred into position for a landing on a runway which is not suitably located for a straight in approach

Question 18

Define the VM (C) Area

Answer 18

Visual Manoeuvring (Circling) Area

Area in which obstacle clearance has been considered for a/c manoeuvring visually before landing. Determined by drawing arcs centred on each runway threshold and joining these arcs with tangent lines

Question 19

What is the sectorisation of the VM (C) Area?

Answer 19

Dividing the VM (C) Area into various sectors within which obstacles or terrain may necessitate different OCH/OCAs.

It is permissible to eliminate sectors if required.
