Approach Questions And Facts Flashcards
When the landing weather is below CAT I ILS minimums, an _____________ is required.
Auto land
When an auto land approach is required, use an approach with the _______________ within the aircraft and Captains authorization
Lowest minimums
The Airbus is certified with a _____________ autoland system, allowing for reduced RVR and an alert height (AH) based approach.
fail operational
If the fail operational capability is downgraded to a ___________ mode, the approach becomes based on a DH in lieu of AH.
fail passive
CAT II approaches use the lowest RA published in the in the CAT II minimums box, but never less than ______________.
100 foot DH
If fail operational downgrades to fail passive, what would the DH be?
50 DH
An AH of ____________ is used in lieu of traditional minimums for a CAT III fail operational approach. At AH the Captain is not required to see any visual reference.
100 RA
What would prohibit the use of a radio altimeter on a CATII/III approach?
Irregular terrain (Seattle)
What would be used in lieu of a radio altimeter?
Inner marker or barometric DA
The approach may not be initiated if the reporting visibility is below published minimums. Where would this apply?
Final approach segment. Feather on approach chart.
Once established on the final approach segment (inside the feather) of an approach requiring a DH (fail passive), if the visibility goes below minimums, the approach may continue to the DH and ______________.
Land if the prevailing visibility is determined to be equal to or greater than published minimums.
Once established on an approach requiring an AH (fail operational), if the visibility is reported below minimums, ___________________.
The approach may continue to an autoland
CAT II/III Missed Approach
A missed approach is required for the following reasons.
Any airborne or ground equipment becomes inop
The wind component exceed FM values
If using DH (fail passive) at DH the pilot flying does not visually have the runway environment
If using DH (fail passive) after passing DH the pilot looses visual
If using DH (fail passive) the pilot determines that landing will not safely land within the touchdown zone
ILS critical areas are only protected by the tower when the weather is below _____________
800/2
Pilots are not expected to hold short of the ILS hold line unless?
Instructed by ATC
Pilots shall advise ATC within ____________ miles if unable to accept ILS/PRM approach.
200 miles
How wide is the transgression zone on a ILS/PRM approach?
2,000’
SOIA stands for?
Simultaneous Offset Instrument Approach
Minimums for a raw data ILS CAT I approach not using the flight director or autopilot?
The greater of 4,000’ or 3/4 miles visibility or the LOC ONLY minimums. DA is equal to the charted MDA for the LOC ONLY.
Stabilized Approach
Plan to be at 1500’ AGL or FAF,which ever occurs later:
Landing gear down
Speed no greater than 180 KIAS
Stabilized Approach
At 1000’ AGL, pilot monitoring will announce any ________________ in configuration, speed, or descent rate.
Deviations
Stabilized Approach
By 1000’ AGL the aircraft shall be:
Final landing configuration
Landing checklist complete
Airspeed +15 / -5 of target speed
On lateral profile
On vertical profile +/- 300 rpm; +/- 1 deg; not greater than 1200 fpm
Stabilized Approach
If the approach will exceed ________ fpm or __________ degrees the approach briefing must include the minimum and maximum decent rates.
1000 fpm
4 deg
Stabilized Approach
An approach with a charted vertical path steeper than __________ degrees is not authorized.
5 deg
Stabilized Approach
A go around must be made If stabilized approach criteria is not met by ___________ feet
500’
Except for momentary airspeed and decent rate deviations
On an autoland approach, the “LAND” FMA should be displayed no later than?
350’ RA
On a autoland approach the “FLARE” FMA should be displayed no later than?
30’ RA
On a autoland approach, the absence of the LAND or FLARE FMAs requires what?
Go-around
On a autoland approach, the absence of the “ROLLOUT” FMA means?
Localizer signal has been lost and directional control will have to be maintained visually
The autoland light on the forward glare shield is armed?
Below 200’ RA
What approach category is used on the A320/A319 for the purpose of a circling approach
Category D
While preforming a circling approach, remain within __________ miles from the runway threshold.
2.3 miles

Localizer Performance Vertical Guidance. (Not Authorized for UA)
What is LP minimums?
Localizer Performance. (Not Authorized for UA)
