Configure with miles to FAP
Approach will be treated as a VOR DME approach

35
Q

What if we have no distance to the FAP?

A

Configure before reaching the altitude at which we should intercept the FAP

36
Q

40
Q

Once you arrive at the FAF

A

A

If we have field in sight:

Maintain and initiate a 45º turn with respect to the longitudinal centerline of rwy

Turn with a bank angle of 25º (max 30º) to establish ourselves in downwind that we have been cleared to do.

Maintain 100 KIAS during the maneouver

52
Q

We will not descend below our MDA(H) unless:

A

We have:

Visual contact with rwy and this condition can be maintained during the whole maneouver
Pilot has the rwy threshold in sight and
We can maintain separation from the ground and perform a safe landing

53
Q

What do we do abeam the threshold?

A

Reduce airspeed to 100 KIAS with
FLAP 10º
Landing Gear Down
(LANDING GEAR DOWN, THREE GREENS)

54
Q

What do we need to calculate after?

A

A point which will be situated at approximately 45º to the runway end to turn to base and initiate a descent at 95 kias with 25º flap

55
Q

What do you need to take into account?

A

How the wind may affect us during the approach

56
Q

What do we do once we turn to final?

A

If required:
FULL FLAP
FINAL CHECLIST will be completed
(Flap 25º, 90kias +gust; Flap 40º, 85 kias, +gust)

57
Q

What do you do if at the MAPT we do not have any of the minimum references to continue the approach or in case of losing visual reference with the rwy during the circle to land?

A

Arrive at the point where we must perform the missed approach for the instrumental approach being performed

58
Q

How is a Go Around during the circling maneouver?

A

In case of having to go around in either base or final:

Turn towards desired missed approach track while climbing

Then climb in traffic pattern above the runway with the aim of maintaining the required protection until performing the initial published missed approach
