CPL Questions Flashcards
App Ban
App ban point is at the outer marker or 1000ft above airfield elevation on app
The point at which if the visibility is below the minima for the app you must go around
You may continue the app even if it drops below the minis of past the App ban point
Define IFR
Flying in IMC conditions with the appropriate equipment list.
1000ft above highest obstacle
2000ft above mountains terrain
Flying at levels using the semi circular rule at or above 3000ft above msl
Mandatory:
- in IMC
- I’m Class A airspace except where SVRF are permitted
- Class C Airspace when VFR is not permitted
MSA
1000ft above highest obstacle 25nm radius
Calculating MSFL
QNH 993hpa
Track 140
MSA 2100ft
FL50
Assumptions for landing performance
50ft above the threshold Ldg Config -gear flaps slats Correct speed Correct ROD Wings level Correct power setting
What is the source document for public transport take-off minima?
ICAO PANS-OPS
8168
Where can you find the list of documents required to be carried in flight by a UK aircraft (Public Transport)?
ANO
Part 9
What is PEC and why should it be applied? Where do you find this referenced
Pressure Error Corrections
When temperature is Less than ISA the aircraft will be LOWER than the altimeter reading
(Remember columns of air altimeter will over read)
When the temp is lower than 0 deg PEC must be added to
MDA/DA
All low alt app procedures
4 percent for every 10 deg below standard
ICAO pans ops
Altimeter settings
Above TA
Alt 1 1013.25
Al2 FIS sector QNH
Because in an Emergancy QNH is more important for ground clearance obstacle clearance
If there is no published figure for your aircraft what PEC should you apply?
50ft
What is the Asymmetric Committal Height for your FTO?
200ft
Converting from Met to RVR
EUROPS
MAA 2000 series
RA3375
HI intensity app + rwy lights
Day - 1.5
Night 2
Any other lighting
Day - 1
Night - 1.5
No lighting
Day - 1
Night - N/A
Single pilot app minima
800m RVR
Unless aircraft has good enough autopilot and airfield has good enough lighting
What is the source document for public transport take-off minima?
ANO
Why is it more detrimental if the prop is windmilling?
Creates more drag . Reverse thrust
