When should aircrew declare “minimum fuel”?
If they estimate they only have sufficient fuel to make one approach (visual or radar) and arrive with the minimum declared fuel to safely divert if required without any further delay during recovery. Should advise ATC as soon as possible.
After your initial “minimum fuel” declaration, when should an additional call be made?
On Tower (#2) with the downwind/VRIAB/at 5nm on SIA approach with the long final call. This ensures all cct traffic is aware, allowing them to action appropriate airmanship.
When should a Pan for fuel be declared?
If an aircraft operating in the Valley/Mona visual cct estimates that, due to an unforeseen event (e.g. go around), the aircraft will land below the min fuel to divert, aircrew can declare “PAN PAN, PAN PAN, PAN PAN - FUEL”
Should not be used to facilitate recovery to Valley in the case of an increased minimum fuel to divert. If the aircraft cannot return with the increased min fuel requirement, it should divert to the nearest suitable airfield.
When should a Mayday for fuel be declared?
If you estimate you will land below the min required fuel at your diversion you can declare “MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY - FUEL”.
What should Texan aircrew call if barrier entry is suspected?
“Down, Down, Down” - Aerodrome controller will lower the barrier
How should a VFR recovery be flown with a radio failure?
Normal join through initial and a normal cct should be flown. Squawk 7600 and make all RT calls blind.
How should an IFR recovery be flown with a radio failure?
Follow the ‘ILS against the stream’ procedure from Point X, making all RT calls blind, to Circling Minima. Then position for the rwy with the TRC positioned next to the threshold.
How should an aircraft conduct a gear inspection when rwy 31/13 is in use?
Overfly the 31/13 landing gear check lights at 200ft QFE.
If no RT, lights/flares will be given for the order Left, Nose, Right.
How should an aircraft conduct a gear inspection when rwy 19/01 is in use?
Fly a normal or LL cct to rwy 31/13 in order to overfly the check lights. ATC should instruct cct traffic to climb to 1500ft QFE or remain laterally clear.
