Ground Speed x 2.5

30
Q

A

5,000ft Cloud Base
10km VIS
No Rain, Smoke or Haze
No Significant Weather

31
Q

Define NOSIG

A

The weather isn’t expected to change for the next 3 hours

32
Q

What is GR?

A

Hail

33
Q

What is MI on a METAR?

A

Shallow

34
Q

What is BR on a METAR?

A

Mist

35
Q

How early to turn onto an arc?

A

1% of GS. Eg 150kt is 1.5NM before the arc.

36
Q

Crosswind Calculation

A

Clock Face Method;
30 Degrees (30 Mins) = 50% of Wind
45 Degrees (45 Mins) = 75% of Wind
60 Degrees (60 Mins) = 100% of Wind

37
Q

What climb gradient ensures containment in CTR?

A

5%

38
Q

Where would one find a table of climb gradients?

A

ENR 1.5

39
Q

Standard SID Climb Gradient?

A

3.3%

40
Q

Cat B Max Speed On SID?

A

165kt

41
Q

Max Speed Cat C On SID

A

265kt

42
Q

Take off Minima if certain conditions are met?

A

800m Visibility

43
Q

How many degrees AOB in a Holding Pattern?

A

25 degrees or 3 degrees per second whichever requires the least

44
Q

Is a sector entry off a heading or a track?

A

Heading

45
Q

Is there any flexibility on what sector you can fly?

A

5 degrees either side of heading

46
Q

When can you descend below MSA/DH/DA?

A
  • 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
47
Q

Circling Area Cat C

A

4.2 NM

48
Q

Circling Area Cat B

A

2.66NM

49
Q

For a visual approach at night what must the pilot have in sight?

A

The runway lights specifically.

50
Q

With regard to the cloud ceiling, what is required for a visual approach?

A

The cloud ceiling cannot be below the initial approach altitude

51
Q

What things would require an alternate at an aerodrome?

A

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.

52
Q

Where do you find the requirements for an alternate airport?

A

Table in ENR 1.5

53
Q

What is pressure height?

A

Altitude if 1013 was set

54
Q

How to calculate pressure height with QNH 1024 and Elevation of 1,000ft?

A

1013-1024 = 11hpa
11x30=330
1,000-330 = 670ft

55
Q

What is density altitude

A

Density altitude is pressure altitude corrected for temperature

56
Q

How to calculate density altitude

A

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

57
Q

Calculate Density Height Given OAT 18 and Pressure Height of 2,850ft

A

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

58
Q

A

Windspeed / Ground Speed in Miles a Minute

59
Q

Given
180kt
HDG: 100deg
Wind: 130/40
Find Drift

A

180kt = 3NM/Minute
30degrees difference between heading and track = 50% wind speed = 20kt
20kt/3nm a minute = 6.66 deg drift
