AIM-J JOHANNES Flashcards
131 – ILS:
LOC – Between full ‘fly left’ and full ‘fly right’, LOC signal adjusted to cover 700’ (210m) of width over the T/H
G/S – Equipment adjusted for the descent angle of 2.5-3.5° (CAT 1) and 2.5-3.0° (CAT II/III); installed to the side of the runway (off C/L), therefore complete guidance to T/D is not provided; full scale deflection is 100’ at the middle marker
264 – Wind Bearing:
Wind data provided by Tower or ATIS referenced to magnetic direction
265 – RVR:
An RVR value is reported when one of the observed values is 1800m or less
443 – Altitude Reporting:
Report assigned altitude and present altitude when in climb upon each initial contact
501 – ATS Route:
Airway – Domestic protected airspace = 4nm each side primary area and 4 nm secondary area; Domestic offshore = 50nm each side; International offshore = 50nm each side (Northers and Central Pacific regions) and 25nm each side (Japan sea and S/E Asia)
RNAV Route – M ,Y ,Z designators
Oceanic Transition Route – connects a Navaid and a fix in OCA
Transition Route – connects terminal fix of SID and airway
Direct Route – connects 2 navaids, excluding airways, OTR and RNAV routes;
published in AIP Japan
En Route Holding Pattern
542 – Course Change on Route:
Non-RNAV – start early turn to prevent overshoot of new course
RNAV – consider if ‘fly-by’ or ‘fly-over’ point; all enroute are ‘fly-by’
612 – Altitude Restrictions on STAR:
STAR to approach fix only assignment does not clear for descent, only route
STAR and approach clearance, may descend in accordance with STAR
614 – FPR:
FPR clears to last fix on authorized route (usually commencement point of STAR),
therefore require confirmation and clearance beyond this point
Even if route not defined beyond this point, do not hold over the STAR
commencement point
622 – Vectoring for Approach:
Visual Approach – vectoring terminates when issued visual approach clearance
ILS approach – vectored so as to i/c LOC from below the G/S
637 – RNAV (GNSS) Approach:
Fix = Initial Appr. Fix (IAF), Intermediate Appr. Fix (IF), Final Approach Fix (FAF),
Missed Appr. Point (MAP), Missed Appr. Turning Fix (MATF), Missed Appr. Holding
Fix (MAHF)
682 – Descent Procedures in NPA:
Straight in LDG – descend to reach MDA by VDP; when established visual contact
before MDA, adjust RoD visually but do not descent below MDA until reaching VDP;
when the runway is sighted, may transition to the extension of the runway centreline
Circling Approach – When established visual contact before MAPt, establish visual flight path within Circling Area and maintain MDA until the point where adequate
descent path established to T/D; may deviate from the final approach path before
MAPt and advise ATC of intentions ie. “Right break”
714 – ELT:
Operate on 406MHz and 121.5MHz
If inadvertently transmit, reset device and report to RCC to prevent search and rescue
operations
811 – Met:
CAVOK – Visibility 10km or greater and the lowest vis is not reported; No cloud
below 5000’ or highest MSA, whichever is higher; No CB or TCU observed; No
weather phenomenon
TAF – Aerodrome forecast valid for 27 hours after release
TREND – Landing forecast
VOLMET – Met info for a/c in flight
