Question 10

Definition of a wet runway

Answer 10

A runway is considered to be wet when the runway surface is covered with water, slush, dry snow or wet snow, with a depth less than or equal to 3 millimetres, or when there is a sufficient moisture on the runway surface to cause it to appear reflective, but without significant areas of standing water.

A runway is considered to be contaminated when more than 25% of the runway surface area (whether in isolated areas or not) within the required length and width being used is covered by the following:
Surface water, slush, dry snow or wet snow more than 3 millimetres.
Snow which has been compressed into a solid mass which resists further compression and will hold together or break into lumps if picked up (compacted snow): or
Ice, including wet ice.

Question 17

Weather holding fuel calculated at altitude?

Answer 17

FL200

Question 18

Traffic holding fuel calculated at altitude?

Answer 18

FL200

Question 19

Fixed Reserve A320? 2eng/1eng

Answer 19

Fixed reserve fuel calculated as 30 minutes of holding fuel at 1500 ft. It is the minimum fuel required to be in tanks at the completion of the landing roll. Single engine fixed reserve (CP1) fuel is calculated as 10 minutes of holding fuel at the engine-out consumption rate, at 1500 ft.

e. CLEAR OF CONFLICT (assigned
clearance) RESUMED

Question 21

Answer 21

FAF

Question 22

DGA track tolerances (aid to gps track indication)

Answer 22

NDB > 6.9 degrees and

VOR > 5.2 degrees

Question 23

Day visual approach criteria

Answer 23

By Day — Within 30 NM of that airport at an altitude not below the LSALT/MSA for the route
segment, the appropriate step of the DME or GPS Arrival Procedure, or the MDA for the procedure being flown, the aircraft is established:
1. clear of cloud;
2. in sight of ground or water;
3. with a flight visibility not less than 5000m or, in the case of a helicopter, is able to proceed under helicopter VMC, or the airport is in sight; and
4. subsequently can maintain (1), (2) and (3) at an altitude not less than the minimum prescribed for VFR flight (CAR 157), to within the circling area

Question 24

Night visual approach criteria

Answer 24

By Night — At an altitude not below the LSALT/MSA for the route segment, the appropriate
step of the DME or GPS Arrival procedure, or the MDA for the procedure being flown, the
aircraft is established:
1. clear of cloud;
2. in sight of ground or water;
3. with a flight visibility not less than 5000m; and
4. within the circling area or VAA-H, as applicable; or
5. within 5 NM (7 NM for a runway equipped with an ILS) of that airport aligned with the
runway centerline and established not below “on slope” on the T-VASIS or PAPI; or
6. within 10 NM (14 NM for runways 16L and 34L at Sydney Intl) of that airport, established not below the ILS glide path with less than full scale azimuth deflection.
NOTE: Reference to circling area in this section includes the circling area for the category of aircraft or a higher category where the limitations of the higher category are complied with.

Question 25

Day visual approach authorisation requirements

Answer 25

By day when:
– the aircraft is within 30 NM of the aerodrome; and
– the pilot has established and can continue flight to the aerodrome with continuous
visual reference to the ground or water; and
– visibility along the flight path is not less than 5000m, or for helicopters 800m, or the
aerodrome is in sight.

Question 26

Night visual approach authorisation requirements

Answer 26

By night when:
– the pilot has established and can continue flight to the aerodrome with continuous
visual reference to the ground or water; and
– visibility along the flight path is not less than 5000m; and
– the aircraft is within 30 NM of the aerodrome; or
– receiving an ATS surveillance service, the flight has been assigned the minimum
vector altitude (MVA) and given heading or tracking instructions to intercept final or to
position the aircraft within the circling area of the aerodrome.
