Question 1

How to determine the aircraft approach category?

Answer 1

The stall speed of the aircraft at MAUW in the landing configuration multiplied by 1.3

Question 2

State the aircraft approach categories and their correspondent speeds -

Answer 2

A = 91
B = 91 - 120
C = 121 - 140
D = 141 = 165
E = 165 and above

Question 3

Define the circling approach -

Answer 3

An extension of a instrument approach procedure to allow for visual manoeuvring prior to landing

Question 4

Define Clearance Limit -

Answer 4

The point to which a flight may proceed when experiencing radio failure. For an instrument approach the clearance limit is either the missed approach point(MAP) when landing or the end of the missed approach point when not landing
