Chapter 5 Low Weather Ops Flashcards
You have a CAT I SA on your approach chart. Can you do this approach?
Kalitta is not authorized for CAT I SA approaches
Two of your ILSs aren’t working. Can you shoot a Cat I ILS with the remaining receiver?
Yes. Category 1 ILS, VOR, and NDB approaches are authorized using one aircraft receiver
What are the performance requirements are there for landing data for a Lower Landing Minimums (LLM)?
The WET runway landing weight must be used to calculate the maximum landing weight for the runway
of intended landing
You’re conducting a CAT I approach and the weather is 1800 RVR. You need the landing. Can you hand fly the approach?
When conducting an ILS approach with visibility below 3/4 mile or RVR 4,000:
1. The flight director (FD) must be used, or
2. The approach must be flown using the autopilot.
The Cat II approach has a note “authorization to conduct this approach by OPS Specs or LOA required”. Can you conduct this approach?
Yes
The Cat III doesn’t have a DH. Can you conduct this approach?
Yes
The CAT IIIa has a DA. What do you do with this DA?
Can not conduct the ILS to CAT IIIA with a DA. (To flight plan and conduct an instrument approach using CAT IIIa minimums, there must be no DH published on the Jeppesen chart) (there was an exception to this on a bulletin once.) Otherwise fly the Cat II
You’re shooting a CAT IIIb approach. RVR required is 100m. As you approach the FAF RVR reports 50m vis. Can you continue?
No.
after the flight passes the Final Approach Fix (FAF), the Captain may continue below the Alert Height (AH) to a
landing provided the aircraft is in the proper condition to land.if the weather deteriorates
below the minima required to continue past the FAF, the approach may continue and the pilot may land so
long as one of the following conditions is met:
1. Visibility improves above minimums required; or
2. One of the visual cues listed in the “Descent Below DH CAT II” section (above) is in sight; or
3. “TRIPLE” or “LAND 3”, as appropriate for the aircraft, is annunciated and the Captain determines
that the safest course of action is to continue
Can you shoot a Cat III if the runway condition is reported as “Poor”?
No. Poor or Nil RWY condition with Cat III is not allowed
You’re shooting a Cat IIIB approach and the weather goes below mins before the FAF. Can you continue the approach?
No. After the FAF you may. Otherwise cannot.
What things are you going to brief on a Cat III autoland in addition to a normal brief?
- Vis required before FAF
- LAND 3 and AT needed for landing
- Reversion to CAT II if failure, and need to see visual cues now at the bugged rad alt minimums
- Use TRs on landing, disconnect AP
- SMGS chart ready with taxi route OK for low vis
- crosswind limit for CAT II/III is 15 kts
