Chapter 8.3-4 - Flight Procedures and LVO

Question 1

Traffic Advisory (TA) - within what time is other traffic predicted to get too close?

Answer 1

Approximately 20-48 seconds and the TCAS system will give an aural warning of “TRAFFIC - TRAFFIC”.

Question 2

Resolution Advisory (RA) - within what time is other traffic predicted to get too close?

Answer 2

Within approximately 15-35 seconds.

The TCAS system will issue an RA to ensure vertical separation.

Question 3

What is the STANDARD PHRASEOLOGY for TCAS RA maneuvers?

Answer 3

“TCAS RA” when following and RA
“CLEAR OF CONFLICT, RETURNING TO (assigned clearance)
“CLEAR OF CONFLICT, (assigned clearance) RESUMED
“UNABLE, TCAS RA” (when unable to comply with ATC instructions.)

Question 4

STABILIZED APPROACH

Precision approach, how much deflection from LOC and GS is allowed?

Answer 4

Maximum ONE dot deflection from localizer and glideslope.

Question 5

STABILIZED APPROACH

Non-precision app and visual app

Answer 5

Along the desired flight path. Wings must be level at or before 500 feet AFE

Question 6

STABILIZED APPROACH

Circling approach and RNP AR approach

Answer 6

Along the desired flight path. Wings must be level at or before 300 feet AFE.

Question 7

STABILIZED APPROACH

Landing Gear and Flap configuration

Answer 7

Down and landing configuration respectively

Question 8

STABILIZED APPROACH

Maximum deviation from Approach Speed (Vapp) is

Answer 8

Vref up to (Vapp + 15kts)

Question 9

STABILIZED APPROACH

Thrust Setting

Answer 9

Must be appropriate for the airplane configuration

Question 10

STABILIZED APPROACH

Landing checklist must…

Answer 10

…be completed.

Question 11

STABILIZED APPROACH

As the airplane crosses the runway threshold it SHALL be:

Answer 11

• stabilized on Vapp to within + 10kts until arresting descent rate at flare
• on a stabilized flight path using normal maneuvering
• positioned to make a normal landing in the touchdown zone

Question 12

What is the required Visual Reference to continue below DA/H or MDA/H on an CAT II or OTS CAT II approach?

Answer 12

A segment of at least THREE CONSECUTIVE LIGHTS
(centreline of approach lights, touchdown zone lights, RWY centreline lights, runway edge lights)
(should also include a lateral element of the ground pattern, such as crossbar lights or threshold.)

Question 13

What is the required Visual Reference to continue below DA/H or MDA/H on an CAT III approach?

Answer 13

A segment of at least THREE CONSECUTIVE LIGHTS
(centreline of approach lights, touchdown zone lights, RWY centreline lights, runway edge lights) is attained and can be maintained by the pilot.

Question 14

During LVO take-off, below what RVR/Visibility shall the CMDR be PF?

Answer 14

550 meters.

OM-A 8.4.7

Question 15

At what distance from the runway stop-end does the centre-line lights alternate red and white?

Answer 15

900 meters (or from midpoint if RWY < 1800m)

Question 16

At what distance from the runway stop-end are the centre-line lights red only?

Answer 16

300 meters.
