A

Designed to provide a minimum obstacle clearance of 100FT to an aircraft climbing along the specified missed approach path at a gradient of 2.5% (152FT/NM) from the MAPT or DA/RA Height from which the missed approach procedure commences.

56
Q

Whilst circling, a missed approach flight path will follow:

Aerodromes with approved precision approach CAT I procedures:
Published precision approach CAT I DA and visibility minima may be used, except that:
a. minimum visibility 1.5KM is required when precision approach CAT I lighting system (also known as HIAL) is not available
b. minimum visibility 1.2KM is required unless:
(1) the aircraft is manually flown at least to the CAT I DA using a flight director or the aircraft is flown to the CAT I DA with an autopilot coupled (LOC and GP or GLS); and
(2) the aircraft is equipped with a serviceable failure warning system for the primary attitude and heading reference systems; and
(3) high intensity runway edge lighting is available

Minimum visibility 0.8KM is required if instrumented RVR information in the threshold zone is not available

71
Q

QNH Sources

Prior to passing the IAF, pilots are required to set either:

A

a. the actual aerodrome QNH from an approved source, or
b. the Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) QNH, or
c. the forecast area QNH

72
Q

What does a shaded background to the minima’s mean?

A

Where instrument approach charts are identified by a shaded background to either the minima titles for IAL charts or the published minima for DME or GNSS Arrival Procedures, landing, circling and alternate minima have been calculated assuming the use of Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) QNH. These minima may be reduced by 100FT whenever an actual aerodrome QNH is set. Approved sources of actual QNH are ATC and ATIS except when the aerodrome forecast QNH is provided, AWIS and CASA approved meteorological observers. An actual aerodrome QNH obtained from an approved source is valid for a period of 15 minutes from the time of receipt.

Note: METAR QNH does not meet this requirement

73
Q

Where the forecast area QNH is used, the minima used must be increased by…

A

50FT

74
Q

Describe Special Alternate Weather Minima…

A

For aircraft equipped with dual ILS/VOR approach capability; i.e. with duplicated LOC, G/P, marker and VOR receivers.

double asterisk adjacent to the ALTERNATE title denotes that the minima is available for use.

Not available when METAR/SPECI forecasting services N/A or when an airport control service is not provided

75
Q

These special alternate minima will not be available (minima will revert to the standard alternate minima) during periods when:

A

Local METAR/SPECI or forecasting services are not available or an aerodrome control service is not provided.

MSA/LSALT.

77
Q

The climb gradient requirements of a radar SID cease when the aircraft reaches the…

A

MSA/LSALT as applicable

78
Q

During the conduct of an SID, the pilot must follow….

A

Unless explicitly cancelled or amended by ATC, the pilot must follow the vertical and lateral profile of the SID and comply with any published speed restrictions.

79
Q

When ATC cancel speed restrictions on a SID, what does this actually mean?

A

Cancellation of ‘published speed restrictions’ cancels all speeds published on the SID chart. Cancellation of ‘ATC-issued speed control instructions’ cancels any speed control instructions issued by ATC. Airspace speed limitations must be compiled with unless specifically cancelled

80
Q

What are the speed requirements during climb out in an ATS environment?

A

For ATC traffic management: unless varied by ATC, DAP or ERSA, at or before 3,000FT AGL or at the completion of a noise abatement procedure, jet aircraft departing Class C aerodromes must:

a. commence acceleration to 250KT IAS; and
b. maintain 250KT until leaving 10,000FT AMSL

81
Q

ATC cancels certain speed restrictions on STARS. What are some considerations?

A

Cancellation of ‘published speed restrictions’ cancels all speeds published on the STAR chart. Cancellation of ‘ATC-issued speed control instruction’ cancels any speed control instructions issued by ATC. Airspace speed limitation must be complied with unless specifically cancelled.

Speed and level restrictions associated with the bypassed waypoints are cancelled

The pilot must comply with any published STAR speed and level restrictions, at and after the waypoint where the STAR is rejoined.

82
Q

DME OR GNSS ARRIVAL PROCEDURES requirements

A

Provides descent guidance along a specified track or sector, to the visual circling area of an aerodrome

Descent is not permitted until the aircraft is established within the appropriate sector or on the specified inbound track

Manoeuvring within a sector after passing the final approach fix is prohibited.

GNSS integrity (e.g. RAIM) must be available before descending below the LSALT/MSA.

When cleared for a DME or GNSS Arrival in controlled airspace an aircraft must not orbit, enter a holding pattern, or use holding pattern entry procedures. ATC will not issue a clearance for a DME or GNSS Arrival that involves the use of a holding pattern entry procedure.

Where the track being flown is not aligned with the landing runway, a clearance for a DME or GNSS Arrival includes a clearance to manoeuvre within the circling area to position the aircraft on final for landing.

within controlled airspace and provide 500FT separation from the CTA lower limit.

83
Q

When is speed control terminated?

A

Except for a STAR, a DME arrival, or unless otherwise specified, a clearance for final approach or a clearance for a visual approach terminates speed control.

84
Q

What are the specific Transponder Squawk Codes in use?

A

7700- Emergency
7600- Radio Failure
7500- Unlawful Interference
3000- Civil flights in classes A, C and D airspace, or IFR flights in Class E airspace
2000- Civil IFR flights in Class G airspace

85
Q

PRE-FLIGHT ALTIMETER CHECK should read…

A

Should read the nominated elevation to within 60FT

An error in excess of ± 75FT, the altimeter must be considered unserviceable.

When two altimeters are required for the category of operation, one of the altimeters must read the nominated elevation to within 60FT.

86
Q

For all operations at or below the Transition Altitude (in the Altimeter Setting region), the altimeter reference setting will be:

A

The current Local QNH of a station along the route within 100NM of the aircraft; or

The current Area QNH forecast if the current Local QNH is not known.

87
Q

The position to change between QNH and 1013.2HPA shall always be in the Standard Pressure Region and occurs….

A

On climb after passing 10,000FT and prior to levelling off, or on descent to a level in the Altimeter Setting Region prior to entering the Transition Layer

88
Q

What is the validity of Area QNH?

A

Area QNH is a forecast value which is valid for a period of 3 hours

Area QNH must not differ from an adjoining Area QNH by more than 5HPA.

89
Q

What is the Flight Level lower limit when Area QNH falls below 1013

A

FL110 must not be used for cruising when the Area QNH is less than 1013HPA, so FL115 becomes the lowest.

90
Q

How soon must you vacate a change of level assigned by ATC?

A

The pilot in command must commence a change of level as soon as possible, but not later than one (1) minute after receiving that instruction from ATC

91
Q

Are you required to readback an expected clearance?

A

An expectation of a level restriction is not required to be read back.

92
Q

When must you advise ATC of a level change?

A

When the aircraft has left a level at which level flight has been conducted in the course of climb, cruise or descent.

93
Q

What is Standard Rate in relation to altitude change?

A

Climb or descent of not less than 500FT per minute, except that the last 1,000FT to an assigned level must be made at 500FT per minute

94
Q

What is the validity period of an aerodrome forecast for destination and alternates.

A

Must be valid for a period of not less than 30 minutes before and 60 minutes after the planned ETA

95
Q

If a flight is delayed is there a requirement to update a preflight briefing?

A

When preflight briefing is obtained more than one hour prior to EOBT, pilots should obtain an update before each departure

96
Q

Can an IFR flight be planned by night to a destination not served by a navigation aid?

A

No

An aeroplane with a MTOW greater than 5,700KG operating under IFR by night may only be planned to a destination which has an approved instrument approach procedure for which the aircraft is appropriately equipped and the pilot is qualified

97
Q

A flight may be planned under IFR at night when the Navigation aid(s) required have failed provided:

A

Sufficient fuel must be carried to permit flight to an alternate aerodrome

Navigation requirements of ENR 1.1 Sub-section 4.1 are fulfilled.

Descent below the LSALT/MSA must be in accordance with the requirements for visual approaches by night specified in ENR 1.5 section 1.15.

98
Q

What are the reporting requirements for Immediately Reportable Matters (IRM) or Routine Reportable Matters (RRM)?

A

IRM must be reported as soon as reasonably practicable by telephone on 1800 011 034, and then a follow-up written report must be made within 72 hours.

RRM require only a written report within 72 hours.

99
Q

Visual Met Conditions in Class G airspace are…

A

At or above 10,000FT AMSL- 8KM 1,000FT vertical 1,500M horizontal from cloud

Below 10,000FT AMSL- 5KM 1,000FT vertical 1,500M horizontal from cloud

At or below -whichever is the higher - of: (a) 3,000FT AMSL; (b) 1,000FT AGL- 5,000M Clear of cloud and in sight of ground or water
