Both the QNH and QFE are rounded ____ to the nearest whole hectopascal before
being passed to the pilot. However, the QNH and QFE are available to the nearest tenth of a hectopascal if required.
Both the QNH and QFE are rounded down to the nearest whole hectopascal before
being passed to the pilot. However, the QNH and QFE are available to the nearest tenth of a hectopascal if required.
The flight level or levels selected for a flight shall -
- In IMC ensure adequate _____ _______;
- For IFR flights, satisfy ATC _________; and
- For all IFR flights and for VFR flights at or above 1 500 feet above the surface, be compatible with the application of the ___ _____ ___.
Note: Pilots must take note of the procedures applicable to VFR flights as described - see AIP ENR 1.2.1
The flight level or levels selected for a flight shall -
- In IMC ensure adequate terrain clearance;
- For IFR flights, satisfy ATC clearances; and
- For all IFR flights and for VFR flights at or above 1 500 feet above the surface, be compatible with the application of the semi-circular rule.
Note: Pilots must take note of the procedures applicable to VFR flights as described - see AIP ENR 1.2.1
Explained from which altitude the flight level sequence start to change for a IFR flight, both to the East and West:
From FL410 for East. To find each consecutive altitude from this point add 40 - FL450, FL490.
From FL400 for West. To find each consecutive altitude from this point add 30 - FL430, FL470.
Define cloud break procedure:
A cloud break procedure may be approved when one or more of the following apply:
(a) the runway and/or equipment does not comply with ICAO requirements for a instrument procedure
(b) The runway is not aligned with the final track
(c) Local QNH is not available
The visual manoeuvring area for a circling approach is determined by drawing arcs centred on each runway threshold and joining these arcs with tangent lines. The radius of the arc is related to:
a) Aircraft ________ category;
b) Speed for each approach category;
c) Wind speed __ KTS throughout the turn; and
d) Bankangle: __ average or _/second, whichever requires less bank.
The visual manoeuvring area for a circling approach is determined by drawing arcs centred on each runway threshold and joining these arcs with tangent lines. The radius of the arc is related to:
a) Aircraft approach category;
b) Speed for each approach category;
c) Wind speed 25 KTS throughout the turn; and
d) Bankangle: 20 average or 3/second, whichever requires less bank.
Minimum Sector Altitude definition:
