Question 19

Approach Ban - non-precision, APV, CAT 1 or CAT 2 precision approach

Answer 19

NO RVR NO APPROACH BAN Approach authorized whenever: The lowest reported RVR for the runway is at or above minima, regardless of reported ground visibility The RVR is reported to be fluctuating above and below minimum RVR The ground visibility is reported to be at least 1/4 SM The RVR for the runway is unavailable or not reported ATS is informed that an aircraft is on a training flight and will conduct a planned missed approach

Question 20

Approach Ban

Answer 20

Question 21

Landing Minima

Answer 21

Pilots of aircraft on instrument approaches are prohibited from continuing the descent below DH, or descending below MDA, as applicable, unless the required visual reference is established and maintained in order to complete a safe landing. When the required reference is not established or maintained, a missed approach must be initiated. Missed approaches initiated beyond the MAP may not be assured obstacle clearance.

Answer 22

Must set current altimeter setting prior to commencing an instrument approach Readings are considered current up to 90 minutes from the time of observation

Answer 27

141 to 165 kts

Question 28

Category E

Answer 28

Above 165 kts

Question 29
