AIP GEN Flashcards
Rated Coverages NAVAIDS
TCAS TA
In the event of a TA, the pilot should use all available information to prepare for appropriate action if an RA occurs including:
a. attempt to establish visual contact; and
b. change the flight path only if a collision risk is established visually
TCAS RA
In the event of an RA, pilots must:
a. immediately conform to the RA indication, even if this conflicts with an ATC instruction, unless doing so would jeopardise the safety of the aircraft;
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, of an RA which requires a deviation from the current ATC instruction or clearance.
Avoiding High Vertical Rate Encounters
To avoid RAs in these circumstances, the pilot of the climbing or descending aircraft should, where practicable, 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.
Minimum Descent Altitude/Height (MDA/H)
A specified altitude or height in a 2D instrument approach operation or circling approach operation below which descent must not be made without the required visual reference.
Decision Altitude/Height (DA/H)
A specified altitude or height in a 3D instrument approach operation at which a missed approach must be initiated if the required visual reference to continue the approach has not been established.
Dependent Parallel Approaches
Simultaneous instrument approaches to parallel or near-parallel instrument runways where ATS radar separation minima between aircraft on adjacent extended runway centrelines are prescribed
Independent Parallel Approaches
Simultaneous instrument approaches to parallel or near-parallel instrument runways where ATS radar separation minima between aircraft on adjacent extended runway centrelines are not prescribed
Independent Parallel Depatures
Simultaneous departures in the same direction from parallel or near-parallel instrument runways
Independent Visual Approach
Visual approach operations to parallel or near-parallel instrument runways where the distance between runway centrelines and use of particular procedures allows a visual approach to one runway independently of approaches occurring on an adjacent parallel or near-parallel runway.
Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP)
A series of predetermined manoeuvres by reference to flight instruments with specified protection from obstacles from the initial approach fix, or where applicable, from the beginning of a defined arrival route to a point from which a landing can be completed and thereafter, if a landing is not completed, to a position at which holding or en route obstacle clearance criteria apply.
Non-precision approach (NPA) procedures
2D and 3D
An instrument approach procedure designed for 2D instrument approach operations Type A.
Note: Non-precision approach procedures may be flown using a Continuous Descent Final Approach technique (CDFA).
CDFA with advisory VNAV guidance calculated by on-board equipment are considered 3D instrument approach operations.
CDFA with manual calculation of the required rate of descent are considered 2D instrument approach operations.
Approach Procedure with Vertical guidance (APV).
A Performance Based Navigation (PBN) instrument approach procedure designed for 3D instrument approach operations Type A
Precision Approach (PA) procedure.
An instrument approach procedure based on navigation systems (ILS, MLS, GLS and SBAS CAT I) designed for 3D instrument approach operations Type A or B
Readback Requirements
a. an ATC route clearance in its entirety, and any amendments;
b. en route holding instructions;
c. any route and runway-holding position specified in a taxi clearance;
d. any clearances, conditional clearances or instructions to hold short of, enter, land on, line-up on, wait, take-off from, cross, taxi or backtrack on, any runway or HLS;
e. any approach clearance;
f. assigned runway or HLS;
g. altimeter settings directed to specific aircraft, radio and radio navigation aid frequency instructions;
h. SSR codes, data link logon addresses;
i. level instructions (including ‘VIA SID/STAR TO’ when this is part of the instruction), direction of turn, heading and speed instructions
