AIP Flashcards
ILS rated coverage?
GEN 2.3
RA actions?
a. immediately conform to the RA indication, even if this conflicts with an ATC instruction
b. limit the alterations of the flight path to the minimum extent necessary to comply with the RA; and
c. notify ATC, as soon as permitted by workload
GEN 7.2.2
HVR mitigation?
Reduce the vertical rate to less than 1,500FPM when within the last 1,000FT of the assigned altitude or flight level, unless otherwise directed by ATC.
GEN 7.7.1
Wet runway
a. is covered by surface water not more than 3mm deep;
or b. is covered by slush or loose snow equivalent to surface water not more than 3mm deep; or
c. has sufficient moisture on the surface to cause it to appear reflective, but without significant areas of standing water.
Note: Wet Runway now covers the previous Australian description – ‘Damp’.
Special Authorisation Category I (SA CAT I) Operation
A precision approach CAT I operation with:
a. a DH lower than 200FT, but not lower than 150FT;
b. an RVR not less than 450M.
Special Authorisation Category II (SA CAT II) Operation
A precision approach operation to a runway where some or all of the elements of the precision approach CAT II lighting system are not available, with:
a. a DH lower than 200FT but not lower than 100FT; and
b. RVR of not less than 350M.
Self Contained Navigation Systems
Area navigation systems based on INS, IRS or GNSS.
Runway Visual Range (RVR)
The range over which the pilot of an aircraft on the centre line of a runway can see the runway surface markings or the lights delineating the runway or identifying its centre line. (ICAO)
Standing Water
Water of depth greater than 3mm.
Minimum Sector Altitude (MSA)
The lowest altitude which may be used which will provide a minimum clearance of 1,000FT above all objects located in an area contained within a circle or a sector of a circle of 25NM or 10NM radius centred on a significant point, the ARP, or the HRP.
Minimum Vector Altitude
The lowest altitude which a controller may assign to a pilot in accordance with the Radar Terrain Clearance chart.
Minimum Vector Altitude
The lowest altitude which a controller may assign to a pilot in accordance with the Radar Terrain Clearance chart.
Contaminated Runway
A runway that has more than 25% of the runway surface area within the required length and width being used covered by:
a. water, or slush, more than 3mm deep; or
b. loose snow more than 20mm deep; or
c. compacted snow or ice, including wet ice.
Note: ‘CONTAMINATED RUNWAY’ is not normally used in radiotelephony.
