Enr 1.5

Question 1

Climb in evaluated sector.

Answer 1

AC must maintain T/O climb gradient as required by departure procedure for track being flown and climb on departure to mnm 400’ or other specified.

If AC is climbing through 2 or more sectors higher climb gradient applies.

Question 2

Rate of climb required

Answer 2

Gradient percent x Groundspeed x 1.013

Question 3

Whats a SID? Where does it start and what’s the climb gradient

Answer 3

Standard instrument departure used to standardise departure instructions reduce RTF congestion, chance of aircraft error routing and provide positive routing for comm fail.

Starts at a point 16ft above departure end of runway .

3.3% or 200ft per NM, must. Climb on runway centreline to 400’ above departure end of runway before commencing a turn.

Question 4

Answer 4

Either on AD2 or if not specified, 300ft ceiling 1500m visibility

Question 5

Answer 5

Zero cloud ceiling, visibility at or above 800m provided

Runway has centreline marking or lights, and T/O wx is confirmed by pilot, AD2 allows for reduced takeoff minima to be used, any obstacles are taken into account and if aircraft is AC is multi engine prop, equipped with auto feather or coarse system.

Answer 24

Proceed in accordance with current flight plan confirmed by ATC clearance.

Question 25

Answer 25

Level restriction - maintain last assigned level to point specified then climb to maintain level in flight plan. If no point assigned maintain last assigned level or MFA for 5 minutes then climb to maintain specified in flight plan.

Radar vectors - maintain last assigned vector for 2 minutes then climb to MSA if necessary to maintain terrain clearance then continue w flight plan.

Question 26

comm failure arrival

Answer 26

Track to aid or fix and if you have a STAR clearance proceed with it and commence descent to initial approach altitude for approach procedure in accordance with ATC clearance.

Question 27

Comm failure at or within 25nm from destination

Answer 27

Arrive at fix at last assigned level or near as possible to expected approach time given by ATC and commence approach.

If too high descend in hold.

If on initial approach but not cleared, continue via procedure and maintain last assigned level until on final approach the do the approach.

If too high enter hold and descend if no hold then take missed approach and position for another approach.
