-Runways spaced 750’ - 3,000’

40
Q

Visual Approach

A
  • Must have either airport or the preceding aircraft in sight
  • Reported weather must be VMC
    (VMC ≠ VFR)
41
Q

Contact Approach

A

Pilots clear of clouds and with 1 mile flight visibility may request ATC authorization for contact approach

42
Q

EWINS

A

Enhanced Weather Information System

  • FAA approved proprietary system for tracking, evaluating, reporting, and forecasting the presence or lack of adverse weather phenomena
  • Authorized to produce flight movement forecasts
43
Q

TWIP

A

Terminal Weather Information for Pilots

  • Transmits terminal weather to cockpit via ACARS
44
Q

Airport elevation

A

Highest point of an airport’s usable runways measured in MSL

45
Q

DME Fix

A

Geographical position determined by reference to a navigational aid which provides distance and azimuth

46
Q

Glideslope Intercept Altitude

A
  • Minimum altitude to intercept the glideslope/path on a precision approach.
  • Lightning bolt symbol
47
Q

Final Approach Fix

A
  • Fix from which the final approach (IFR) to an airport is executed, beginning of the final approach segment.
  • Maltese cross
48
Q

Maximum Authorized Altitude (MAA)

A
  • Maximum usable altitude or flight level for an airspace structure or route segment.
  • Below FL450 due to VOR interference or military requirements
49
Q

Minimum En Route IFR Altitude (MEA)

A

Lowest published altitude between radio fixes which assures acceptable navigational signal coverage and meets obstacle clearance requirements (1000’ or 2000’ in mountainous terrain)

50
Q

Minimum Crossing Altitude (MCA)

A

Lowest altitude at certain fixes at which an aircraft must cross when proceeding in the direction of a higher minimum en route IFR altitude

51
Q

Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude (MOCA)

A
  • Lowest published altitude in effect between radio fixes which meets obstacle clearance requirements for the entire route segment and which assures acceptable navigational signal coverage only within 22 nm of a VOR
  • Depicted with an * on government charts. With a ‘T’ on Jeppesen charts.
52
Q

Minimum Reception Altitude (MRA)

A
  • Lowest altitude required to receive adequate signals from an off-route navaid to determine specific fixes
  • If using DME, MRA does not apply
53
Q

Missed Approach Point (MAP)

A

Point prescribed in each instrument approach procedure at which a missed approach procedure shall be executed if the required visual reference does not exist

54
Q

Off Route Obstruction Clearance Altitude (OROCA)

A

Highest possible elevation including both terrain and other vertical obstructions. Does not provide for navaid signal coverage

55
Q
