Approaches

Question 1

Alert Heights are normally uses for what type of approach?

Answer 1

Alert Heights are normally used for fail operational Category III approaches

Question 2

Define Alert Height

Answer 2

Alert Height is a height above the runway, above which a Category III approach must be discontinued and a missed approach initiated if a specified failure occurs

Question 3

What is “Fail Operational”?

Answer 3

Fail Operational refers to an AFDS capable of completing an ILS approach, autoland, and rollout following the failure of any single system after passing Alert Height.

Question 4

What is “Fail Passive”?

Answer 4

Fail passive refers to an AFDS which in the event of a failure causes no significant deviation of airplane flight path or altitude. A DA(H) is used as approach minimums.

Question 5

When are cold temperature corrections required?

Answer 5

Cold temperature corrections are required when at or below 0°c for all approaches that do not have RNP in the title except for RNAV with a published temperature range.

Question 6

Are RNP approaches authorized if not within the charted limiting temperature value?

Answer 6

No, only RNAV (non RNP) approaches allow reversion to LNAV minima with cold temp corrections applied.

Question 7

Is a temperature correction required to be added to a Decision Height?

Answer 7

No, just to Decision Altitudes.

Question 8

Is a temperature correction required for a missed approach altitude?

Answer 8

Yes, including for RNP approaches.

Question 9

How do we adjust corrected altitudes for the MCP?

Answer 9

Corrected altitudes shall be rounded up to the next higher 100ft increment for setting in the MCP

Question 10

How are corrected altitudes entered on the LEGS page?

Answer 10

Enter altitudes corrected for temperature as “at or above” on the LEGS page by inserting the corrected altitude with an “A” after the altitude (eg. 3163A)

Question 11

Are cold temperature corrections to the LEGS page required for ILS approaches?

Answer 11

No

Question 12

Are cold temperature corrections required for an approach flown under visual conditions?

Answer 12

No, but may be done to correct the gradient path

Question 13

What is the wind correction required if autothrottle is disconnected prior to touchdown?

Answer 13

Add 1/2 the steady headwind component plus all the gust speed. To a maximum of CREF + 20 knots. Maintain gust correction to touchdown, bleed off wind correction approaching touchdown

Question 14

Gear down, Flaps 20 shall be extended no later than what point on approach?

Answer 14

Gear Down, Flap 20 no later than the FAF

Question 15

What map scale is required no later than the FAF for the pilot flying?

Answer 15

Map scale set to 10

Question 16

Discontinue or do not commence a non-precision approach if there is a discrepancy between a required underlying navaid and ______?

Answer 16

LNAV guidance

Question 17

MDAs are converted to DAs by ______?

Answer 17

MDAs are converted to DAs by adding 50ft

Question 18

ILS CAT I are flown to a _____?

Answer 18

DA

Question 19

CAT II and CAT III ILS approaches are flown to a ____?

Answer 19

DH utilizing the radio altimeters for height information.

Question 20

For CAT III ILS approaches with 3 functioning autopilots engaged what is the limiting factor?

Answer 20

RVR is the limiting factor for CAT III ILS with three functioning autopilots.

Question 21

Are LPV (Localizer performance with vertical guidance) minima authorized?

Answer 21

No

Question 22

For a G/S inoperative ILS approach, if a step-down inside the FAF does not appear on the LEGS page what is the MDA for that approach?

Answer 22

The altitude of the step down inside the FAF, corrected for temperature is the MDA, then 50 ft added for DA.

Question 23

Can a CAT II ILS be flown with an engine inoperative?

Answer 23

Yes, manual landing only. For CAT III both engines must be operating.

Question 24

What are the minimum runway length and width for the 767-300 for normal landing?

Answer 24

6000ft long by 148ft wide. Shorter or narrower may be completed for extenuating circumstances, pilots shall consult the appropriate performance information for landing.

Question 25

In level flight how much time and distance is required to slow from 290 knots to 250 knots and from 250 knots to flaps up maneuvering speed at average gross weight?

Answer 25

About 45 seconds and 3NM are required for each. Plan to be at 10,000ft AFE, 40 NM rom the airport at 250KIAS.

Question 26

When Land 3 is Annunciated is the system Fail Passive or Fail Operational?

Answer 26

Fail Operational, Land 2 is Fail Passive

Question 27

With Land 3 or Land 2 annunciated who or what controls the rudder?

Answer 27

The autopilots

Question 28

What conditions below Alert Height (200ft) on an autoland approach require a go-around?

Answer 28

If the ASA changes to NO AUTOLAND or the ASA blanks (means the same as NO AUTOLAND), initiate a missed approach.

Question 29

If a CAT II approach is flown single engine, what type of landing is required?

Answer 29

Manual landing

Question 30

If the autopilot system is downgraded to LAND 2, can we fly a CAT III approach?

Answer 30

Yes, but a DH of 50ft shall be set in the RAD ALT. The runway must be in sight no later than 50ft RA or a missed approach is required.

Question 31

If the final approach course differs by more than ___° from the landing runway alignment, a circle to land maneuver shall be flown.

Answer 31

30°

Question 32

What are the minimums for a circling approach?

Answer 32

1000’ AGL and 3sm visibility or the published circling minimums, whichever is higher.

Question 33

Under what conditions shall a non precision approach not be continued past the FAF?

Answer 33

Non precision approaches shall not continue past the FAF if:

• a suitable gradient path is not on the final approach segment in the FMC
• the gradient exceeds 3.6°
• a sutiable approach is not available on the ARR page of the FMC
• Loss of both FMSs result in LNAV and VNAV not being available
