Approach Knowledge Flashcards
What is the landing category for the CRJ200?
Category D
What are the considerations when selecting and approach?
- No approach should be initiated without prevailing conditions understood/briefed and landing anticipated
- Precision approached recommended whenever available
- Constant angle for non-precision approaches
- Visual and VFR arrivals if within OpSpecs and PIC determines safe
What are the general approach procedures?
- 1/2 Bank off
- Select green needles for LOC early enough for stable intercept and ID
- For CAT I/Non-Precision, set the MDA to the rounded HIGHER 10ft increment
- CAT II set the DH
- Maneuvering speed/straight in speed verbally stated by appropriate pilot after EACH flap selection
What type of approach requires DH to be set?
CAT II ILS
What type of approach requires MDA to be set?
-CAT I
What type of approach requires DMDA to be set?
Non-Precision
What is the stabilized approach criteria?
At 1000’ HAT
- In final landing config
- Aligned with centerline(IFR)
- Established on published final approach course(IFR)
- Within 5 degrees of runway centerline (VFR)
- Indicated heading within 30 degrees of runway (VFR)
- Proper sink rate for descent path
- Established on Glidepath (If applicable)
- Sink rate no greater than 100FPM
- Airspeed VREF +10/-0
- Proper steady thrust setting
What are the allowances for fluctuations during approach?
- VMC <1000’ or IMC 500-1000FT HAT: Deviation stated and correction made IMMEDIATELY
- IMC <500ft missed approach mandatory
When does the “approach lights, continue” callout occur?
- Visual cues established
- “MINIMUMS” callout
When does the “runway in sight” callout occur?
Visual contact with the RUNWAY is maintained
When can you descend below the DH/MDA/DMDA?
With ONE of the following in sight:
- Threshold, markings, or lights
- Runway, markings, or edge lights
- Touchdown zone, markings, or lights
- REIL
- Visual approach slope indicator
- Approach Light system, except this only allows to descent 100ft ABOVE TOUCHDOWN ZONE elevation. Must have the Red-Side Row or Red Terminating bars to LAND using the approach lights
What should be done when you are cleared for the approach?
-Select APPR or NAV
When arming the approach, what caution should be considered?
Arming too early may cause capture of a false glideslope
In order to maintain currency, how often is it recommended to fly CAT II approaches?
3 approaches every 90 days
In order to maintain currency, how many CAT II approaches should be flown?
3 approaches every 90 days
What type of approaches are considered Non-Precision?
- LOC
- VOR
- GPS
- RNAV
What is the DMDA and how it it derived?
- Derived Minimum Descent Altitude
- Adding 50ft to the MDA of a non-precision approach
How is a DMDA utilized?
Like a DA on a precision approach
Can you level off at the DMDA?
No
At the final segment altitude what altitude is set in the altitude selector for a Circle-To-Land?
MDA
What is the min MDA that can be flown on a Circle-To-Land?
-1000’ AFE or published minimum, whichever is higher
To begin the Circle-To-Land, what are required WX mins?
Published mins or 1000ft ceiling and 3SM
Who can call for missed approach?
Either pilot
What is the fuel burn during a missed approach for the CRJ200?
450lbs
