Question 10

Unintentional emergency squawk

Answer 10

Notify D & D on 243.0 Mhz to prevent action being taken

Question 11

Total Radio Failure

Answer 11

Squawk 7600C
Monitor ILS speech facility

VMC

• fly through overhead to check cct direction (caravan at threshold)
• Join through IP at 1,000ft
• Descend to 500ft and rock wings / flash landing light
• Fly LL circuit to land off green verey / lamp

IMC

• fly Pilot interpreted approach to the runway last in use.
• if can’t land then divert.

Question 12

Total Electrics Failure

Answer 12

7600C or 7700C more likely
Need a long runway into wind (no Flaps, no anti skid)

VMC

• Check runway in use
• IP at 1000ft
• Descend to 300ft
• Rock wings
• Climb to 500ft downwind and fly LL circuit to land
• Look for Vereys L-N-R for gear indications

IMC ?
Fly to an area with better weather and try let down visually.
Get your mobile phone out and use google maps… Call ATC and get a talk down over mobile.
Go to the coast and let down over the sea.

Question 13

Min Crash cat

Answer 13

Singleton 3 with 4 fire fighters

Question 14

Experiencing icing

Answer 14

Notify ATC of:
Location
Height band

Type and severity:
Clear (slow freezing of large supercooled)
Rime (opaque, instantaneous freezing on contact)

Trace - not hazardous even without equipment
Light - problem if over 1 hr, not an issue with de-icing / anti-ice kit in use
Moderate - even short exposure hazardous, anti-ice / de-ice kit necessary
Severe - de-ice / anti-ice can’t reduce or control , immediate diversion necessary

Question 15

Icing let down

Answer 15

Cloud base > 1,000ft >5km vis - fly RAD - Vis

Cloud base < 1000ft <5km vis
Hold out of the icing band until cleared to descend on GP.
ie. change to the IF pattern, intercept higher, flying with WINGSTAB ON approach procedures.

Question 16

Reduced runway width ops requirements (3FTS Orders 2305)

Answer 16

Day only
<15kts crosswind
Precision minima + 200ft,  >1,500m vis
Min TO vis 1000m
No sim Asy landings
