APPH 3

Question 1

2365
The Glide path Qualification Surface (GQS) limits the height of obstructions.

Answer 1

Decision Altitude and the Runway Threshold.

GQS: DA & RT

Question 2

2484
(Refer to figure 251.) What is the slope of RWY 9?

Answer 2

0.4% DOWN.

Question 3

2490
The standard IFR ATC climb gradient is

Answer 3

200 feet per NM.

Question 4

2589
(Refer to figure 247.) During a stabilized IMC approach, the pilot should have the aircraft in a landing configuration

Answer 4

ESTABLISHED on the glide slope before descending below 1819 MSL.

Question 5

2626
(Refer to figure 249.) What approach should be selected to ensure the safest approach at night?

Answer 5

LPV since it takes you to the lowest height above the runway and provides close guidance all the way to the DA ensuring obstacle avoidance along the approach.

Safest APPH @Night: LPV to Lowest Height

Question 6

2688
A pilot may conduct a contact approach

Answer 6

if ATC approves the PIC’s request to do so.

Question 7

2710
(Refer to figure 192.) You have been cleared for the VOR/DME-B approach at PRB in a category D aircraft. Consider the IAP only specifies circling minimums. Under what conditions could you perform a straight-in landing on runway 31?

Answer 7

A straight in landing may be performed if the runway 31 in sight and the aircraft is in a position to make a normal approach.

Straight in 31: Straight in 31

Question 8

2746
(Refer to figures 208 and 209.) You are cleared, ”Jet 123AB, proceed direct to AUDIL for the STELA ONE arrival, cross SWEDE at FL230.” Proceed

Answer 8

As charted, then you must receive ATC verbal clearance to descent for STELA at 11,000 ft.

Question 9

2756
When might you expect ATC to issue a visual approach as you approach your destination on an instrument flight plan?

Answer 9

When ATC deems it beneficial and the weather is reported as 1,000 feet and visibility 3 SM.

Question 10

2859
The main purpose of a vertical descent angle on a non-precision approach

Answer 10

is to allow the pilot to establish a descent during the approach.

Question 11

2938
ATC directs you to resume own navigation after completing a no-gyro surveillance or precision based approach. All turns should be

Answer 11

standard rate.

OR Stand

Question 12

3022
The controller has cleared you for a visual approach. What must the pilot have?

Answer 12

Be able to remain in visual conditions.
