Q

What are the general procedures for RNAV approaches?

A
  • Aircraft routed to Initial Fix
  • Aircraft establish on inbound track and route to Final Approach Fix
  • Must be established at least 2nm before FAF for RAIM check
  • Temperature must be reported below 0°C

Q

What are the requirements of a Continuous Descent Approach?

A
  • Aircraft should be given continuous descent from 6000ft

- May have one period of level flight not exceeding 2.5nm

17
Q

What are the guidelines for a Continuous Descent Approach?

A
  • Top of initial descent point: range check and descent to 6000ft
  • Descent from 6000ft to 4000ft at 18nm and range check
  • Range check before base leg turn
  • Descent from 4000ft at 13nm
18
Q

When should range checks be provided as a minimum?

A
  • At top of descent or on initial contact
  • At the start of CDA reporting criteria (18nm)
  • Before turning base leg
19
Q

What is the standard spacing for Birmingham arrivals?

When should this be increased?

A
  • 4nm, determined at 4DME from touchdown

Should be increased due to:

  • Wake turbulence separation
  • LVPs
  • Gaps as requested by the Air controller
20
Q

When should transfer of communications occur for an aircraft on an instrument approach?

A

Between 12-6nm from touchdown

21
Q

What should happen if the air controller is not in two way communications with an aircraft on an approach by 4nm?

A

The Air controller shall initiate co-ordination with the radar controller to either:

  • Transfer communications immediately
  • Co-ordinate a landing clearance
22
Q

When may departure releases be subject Radar?

A
  • Check North/South/All
  • Non SID IFR departures and subsequent departing aircraft
  • SVFR departures
  • VFR departures unable to comply with not above 2000ft and one of the 4 designated VRPs
  • Successive aircraft not separated (???)
  • Departures deviating from NPRs
  • Runway change
  • Departures from non-duty runway
  • Aircraft types not included in freeflow departure table
  • Following a missed approach
23
Q

If the Min Stack is FL90 what is the pressure?

A

940 - 976 hPa

24
Q

If the Min Stack is FL80 what is the pressure?

A

977 - 1012 hPa

25
Q

If the Min Stack is FL70 what is the pressure?

A

1013+ hPa

26
Q

What are SLPs

How do they apply at Birmingham?

A

Speed Limit Points

250kts limit at SLPs or 3 minutes before holding facility
