APPH 2 Flashcards
What conditions are necessary before ATC can authorize a visual approach?
You must have the airport in sight or a preceding aircraft to be followed, and be able to proceed to the airport in VFR conditions.
Visual APPH= Aport in Sight & in VFR
Which fixes on the IAP Charts are initial approach fixes?
Any fix that is identified by the letters IAF.
IAF on charts: Any Fix labeled IAF
When may a pilot make a straight in landing, if using an IAP having only circling minimums?
A straight in landing may be made if the pilot has the runway in sight in sufficient time to make a normal approach for landing, and has been cleared to land.
Straight in = Straight in w/RWY in sight, normal landing, & CLR’d to LAND
A contact approach is an approach procedure that may be used
in lieu of conducting a SIAP.
Contact = In Lieu SIAP
You received the following clearance. “CLEARED FOR ILS RUNWAY 07 LEFT APPROACH, SIDE STEP TO RUNWAY 07 RIGHT.” When does ATC expect you to commence the side step maneuver?
As soon as possible after the runway or runway environment is in sight.
Side step: ASAP RWY in sight
During a “no-gyro” approach and prior to being handed off to the final approach controller, the pilot should make all turns
standard rate unless otherwise advised.
No Gyro APPH: STD Rate
After being handed off to the final approach controller during a “no-gyro” surveillance approach, the pilot should make all turns
one half standard rate.
No Gyro Surveillance APPH: ONE 1/2 STD Rate
How can IAF be identified on a Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) Chart?
All fixes that are labeled IAF.
IAF on Chart: All fixes labeled IAF
Precision Runway Monitoring (PRM) is
a RADAR system for monitoring approaches to closely spaced parallel runways.
PRM = RADAR system to monitor Parallel RWY
For a stabilized approach, what is the maximum descent rate during the final stage of a precision approach?
1,000 FPM
Max Descent rate on Final = 1,000
