What does GS on a METAR/TAF stand for?
Small Hail/Snow Pellets
What is the radius of a TAF?
5NM
Missed approach gradient?
2.5%
How to calculate a 2.5% climb gradient?
Ground Speed x 2.5
Define CAVOK
5,000ft Cloud Base
10km VIS
No Rain, Smoke or Haze
No Significant Weather
Define NOSIG
The weather isn’t expected to change for the next 3 hours
What is GR?
Hail
What is MI on a METAR?
Shallow
What is BR on a METAR?
Mist
How early to turn onto an arc?
1% of GS. Eg 150kt is 1.5NM before the arc.
Crosswind Calculation
Clock Face Method;
30 Degrees (30 Mins) = 50% of Wind
45 Degrees (45 Mins) = 75% of Wind
60 Degrees (60 Mins) = 100% of Wind

265kt
Take off Minima if certain conditions are met?
800m Visibility
How many degrees AOB in a Holding Pattern?
25 degrees or 3 degrees per second whichever requires the least
Is a sector entry off a heading or a track?
Heading
Is there any flexibility on what sector you can fly?
5 degrees either side of heading
When can you descend below MSA/DH/DA?
- Approach can be conducted at normal rates of descent using normal manoeuvres to conduct a normal landing
- On a circling approach the aircraft must be maintained in the circling area
- Visibility not less than the approach
- Reference to the landing environment is continuously maintained
Circling Area Cat C
4.2 NM
Circling Area Cat B
2.66NM
For a visual approach at night what must the pilot have in sight?
The runway lights specifically.
With regard to the cloud ceiling, what is required for a visual approach?
The cloud ceiling cannot be below the initial approach altitude
What things would require an alternate at an aerodrome?
Time - 1 hour before & 1 hour after arrival
Cloud - At least 1,000ft above the minima
Visibility - 5km or 2km more than the minima whichever is greater.
Where do you find the requirements for an alternate airport?
Table in ENR 1.5
What is pressure height?
Altitude if 1013 was set
How to calculate pressure height with QNH 1024 and Elevation of 1,000ft?
1013-1024 = 11hpa
11x30=330
1,000-330 = 670ft
What is density altitude
Density altitude is pressure altitude corrected for temperature
How to calculate density altitude
Round Pressure Alt nearest 500ft
Find ISA Temp
Take ISA Temp Away From OAT
Multiply ISA deviation by 120ft
Add two temp together to get density alt
Calculate Density Height Given OAT 18 and Pressure Height of 2,850ft
1 - Round PH to 3,000ft
2 - ISA Temp for 3,000ft is 9
3 - ISA +9 is Deviation
4 - 9x120= 1,080ft
5 - 1,080+2,850 = 3,930
What’s the formula to calculate drift in flight?
Windspeed / Ground Speed in Miles a Minute
Given
180kt
HDG: 100deg
Wind: 130/40
Find Drift
180kt = 3NM/Minute
30degrees difference between heading and track = 50% wind speed = 20kt
20kt/3nm a minute = 6.66 deg drift
What does a forward CoG do to rate of climb?
Reduces the Rate of Climb
What is TODA?
TORA + any clearway and or stopway available
What is MCrit?
The minimum number at which airflow over some part of the aircraft reaches the speed of sound.
