Q

What is transition Alt/level

where do you find it on the chart

A
  • Transition Alt: Change from local altimeter setting to standard 29.92in/1013mb. The altitude at or below which the vertical position of an aircraft is controlled by reference to altitudes
  • Transition Level: Change from standard to the local altimeter setting. The altitude at or below which the vertical position of an aircraft is controlled by reference to Flight Level

o TA/TL can be found in the Departure and arrival charts

19
Q

What are the minimums when the GS goes out

A
  • Loc(GS Out) min
20
Q

You are at 30,000 when do you start your descent

A
  • Alt x 3 = 90nm + 10nm to slow down
    o Level flight 1nm per 10kt to slow
    o Descent 2nm per 10kt to slow
21
Q

How do you calculate your top of descent to meet a crossing restriction on a star?

A
  • Alt x 3
  • Level flight 1nm per 10kt to slow
  • Descent 2nm per 10kt to slow
22
Q

When can you turn on a missed approach procedure while executing a missed:

Straight in?

Circling?

A
  • Straight-in
    o Fly the IAP to the MAP before turning unless instructed by ATC
  • Circling
    o Make a climbing turn toward the landing runway and continue to turn until established on the missed approach course
23
Q

Walk me thru how to conduct a circling approach

A
  • 1.5 nm downwind, gear down, flaps 3
  • 30 sec after threshold turn final, set landing flaps
  • adjust descent based on distance vs alt

Adjust time after passing abeam the threshold

  • 1 sec less per 10kt tailwind
  • 1 sec more per 10kt headwind
