CAT I Oral Flashcards
Required aircraft equipment?
- Marker receiver (unless not required)
- ILS receiver
- FD or AP - APP mode (when RVR <1200m)
AOR 2-2-7(4)
Approach Ban - Missed Approach
- Weather < Captain company minima
- Any RVR < 200m
OM 5-3-9
Approach Ban - Where is it?
JAPAN = FAF (primarily) / OM / 1000’
- PAR approach = 1000’
- Some VOR approaches (eg NGO VOR 18/36 + all CTS VOR approaches) = 1000’ AFE.
- No AJX airports use OM
NON-JAPAN = Nominated by the AIP of that country. If there is no approach ban nominated by the state, then the approach ban point shall be the point where the aircraft descends below 1000’ AFE
USA is the only country that AJX operates to where a nominated approach ban point has been specified.
So if Japan is FAF and there are no OM countries, then other than USA, all approach ban points outside of Japan are 1000’ AFE.
(Crosswind limitations are not related to approach ban requirements)
OM page 5-S-5
Autoland - Which international airports?
Any runway that is CAT II / CAT III equipped may be used to perform an autoland.
Autoland - Which Japan airports?
1) Any airport which has CAT II / CAT III facilities
2) CAT II / CAT III facilities may not be provided; however an autoland is still permitted to be carried out on these runways:
HND = 22 and 34L (34R is CAT II)
NRT = 34L, 34R, 16L (16R is CAT II), so ALL runways in NRT are available for autoland
Note Autoland is prohibited on RWY 36 at OKA and RWY 23 at RJTT due to offsets.
ANA JAPAN (AERODROME 3-4)
Autolanding for CAT 1 Captain?
An automatic landing is strongly recommended under low visibility conditions
AOM 3-1-8
CAT 1 Definition
DH ≥ 200ft
RVR ≥ 550 or CMV ≥ 800m (lowest limit)
Crosswind calculation with max wind ≥ 10 kts from steady
- If max wind ≥ steady by 10 kts…
- Steady + half gust (don’t forget to use magnetic)
OM 3-7-1
Crosswind for landing - how to judge limits?
1) At the time of receiving landing clearance,
2) If crosswind exceeds limits, confirm wind until 500ft
3) If landing clearance issued below 500’, confirm wind until 500’
4) However, the crew may still continue the approach even of the reported wind exceeds the limits provided that the crew judge that the aircraft can land safely within the normal manipulation
OM 3-S-7
