Autoland/LVPS Flashcards
When is retard called on a normal landing and an autoland?
Normal landing = 20ft RA
Autoland = 10ft RA
RVR below minima below the approach ban (1000ft AGL)
Continue to DH
LTS Cat 1 minima and visual reference
400m RVR
200ft DH
Visual ref = 3 lights and a lateral element
(CAT 2)
Cat 2 minima and visual reference
300m RVR
100ft DH
Visual reference = 3 lights and a lateral element
OTS Cat 2 minima and visual reference
350m RVR
100ft DH
Visual ref = 3 lights and a lateral element
When would OTS Cat 2 be used?
What is the advantage over Cat 2?
Can use a lesser lighting system.
Mitigated by the use of a higher RVR and an autoland.
NO LAND MODE
on an autoland
Go around!
AP disconnects at 800ft
Go around!
Alpha floor activation at 100ft
Not visual
Go around!
Alpha floor activation at 500ft
Go around!
RVR below minima above the approach ban
Go around/discontinue the approach
Engine failure at any altitude or height
If you can secure the engine, sort the downgrade and change the minima by the approach ban continue.
If not Go around!
Below 1000ft AGL Go around!
Autoland light on at 200ft, visual
(Technically) disconnect the AP and continue visually
Amber caution at 600ft
Go around!
Autoland light on at 200ft, not visual
Go around!
Amber caution at 90ft
Continue
already below the alert height
Loss of Cat 3 below the approach ban, visual
(Technically) disconnect and continue visually.
