EXAM (INST II) Flashcards
What is a holding procedure ?
A predetermined maneuver which keeps a/c within specified airspace while awaiting further clearance from ATC
What is standard pattern when executing holding procedures ?
Right turn pattern
Why is it important to comply with the assigned holding side ?
Because it’s protected airspace
Where can you expect to encounter charted/published holding ?
- Enroute holding (ELA chart)
- Arrival holding (TPP/TLA chart)
Whats the holding course ?
The course that you fly when you are established in holding and inbound to the holding fix
What 4 places may you encounter holding
- Enroute (ELA)
- Arrival (TPP)
- Hold in lieu (TPP)
- Missed approach (TPP)
What’s max holding speed on a Copter approach ?
90 KIAS
RDO calles required in holding patterns
Enter : Time and altitude
Exit : Departing
Name all the A’s
Name all the B’s
When will we start our time/DIST meassure in the holding pattern ?
Abeam the fix outbound wings level
Indbound wings level
When would we get a course assigned and not a radial - when in a holding pattern ?
When the fix is a waypoint
( waypoints dont have radials)
What type of holding pattern is this ?
Missed approach
What type of holding pattern is these ?
Hold in-lieu of procedure turn
What type of holding pattern is this ?
Arrival
What is Copter procedures ?
Procedure for helicopters
What reasons are there for holding ?
Expected/unexpected
Unexpected: Sequencing, EMER, WX
Expected: IFR clearance, requested by pilot, course reversal
What’s weather minimums for T/O IFR
Depends on PC hours actual IFR
(Obs. Obligatory non std t/o minimums apply no matter hours)
<50 hours : 100 feet celing 1/4 VIS
>50 hours : No restrictions
What are the sections of the approach plate ?
- Margin information
- Pilot briefing section
- Plan view
- Profile view
- Landing minimums
- Airport sketch
What is required obstacle clearance, during departure, based on ?
The pilot:
1. Crossing DER (departure end) at 35’ or above
2. Climb 400’ above DER (AGL) before turning
3. Minimum gradient of 200 FPNM until IFR alt
(in cockpit 200 FPNM = 300FPM@90KIAS)
(400 FPNM from helipad)
May we use RW RVR at a helipad ?
No - request to go to that RW
Where can we find ODP and IFR T/O WX minimums ?
TPP - T/O minimums
Which t/o departure procedures are published and must be followed if selected ?
ODP
SID
What is this ?
Procedure turn (PT)
to perform course reversal to establish aircraft on final approach course/inbound course
