Approach Plates Flashcards
On an RNAV approach, which type of waypoint requires turn anticipation?
Fly-by waypoints. Fly-by waypoints are used when an aircraft should begin a turn to the next course prior to reaching the waypoint separating the two route segments. This is known as turn anticipation.
Can you use an IFR-approved GPS in lieu of a dual VOR installation to identify EMUNY to benefit from the lower “EMUNY” minimums?
Yes. AIM 1-2-3 (c)(1) - Note 1 states that RNAV (GPS) may be used to identify a fix normally designated by the intersection of a VOR and a localizer course.
One may NOT, however, use the GPS for LATERAL navigation on the final approach segment of a localizer approach that is not also designated “or GPS”
What is the MAP on the LOC BC 28L approach?
The MAP point is the .5DME from IBOI, which can be identified through a DME, GPS, ATC call out, or by timing from the FAF.
What does an upside down black T symbol mean in the notes section of an IAP chart?
The airport has nonstandard IFR takeoff minimums and/or
The airport has an obstacle departure procedure.
What portion of an instrument approach plate is known as the “pilot briefing” section?
The pilot briefing information format consists of three horizontal rows of boxed procedure-specific information along the
top edge of the chart.
Altitudes, frequencies and channel, course and elevation values (except HATS and HAAS) are charted in bold type.
When an alternate airport is required, standard IFR alternate minimums apply. Precision approach procedures require a 600-
foot ceiling and 2 statute miles visibility; nonprecision approaches require an 800-foot ceiling and 2 statute miles visibility.
When an
appears in the Notes or Pilot Briefing section of the approach chart, it indicates non-standard IFR alternate minimums exist
For the airport. This information is found in Section E of the TPP.
Note: If
appears, alternate minimums are not authorized due to unmonitored facility or absence of weather reporting service. Civil
pilots see FAR 91.
What is an LPV approach?
LPV can be thought of as “localizer performance with vertical guidance.’’
