Exam prep Flashcards
For any flight at night, any aerodrome without an instrument approach requires…..
an alternate in any weather
If an aerodrome does not have an instrument approach available, then the alternate minima is
LSALT+ 500ft, vis 8km
if an awis or an atis is available at an aerodrome, and on the daps plate the cloud height minima box is shaded, how much height can be taken off the mda
100ft
For private and aerial work flights, when does an alternate have to be provided
when there is less than 1 instrument approach procedure other than a GPS dependent approach.
For charter and RPT operations, the pilot must be able to suffer the failure of an airborne aid and still conduct an approach. This means that these flights require
2 ADFs or 2 VORs or if the aerodrome has 1 NDB and 1 VOR, then one of each is required.
When may pilots refer to the special alternate minima printed in the notes on the right side of the daps chart
When the aircraft is fitted with 2 independent ILS receivers. Obviously this only occurs for aerodromes with ILS available.
We don’t need an alternate for aerodrome with PAL lighting if…
STBY power or portable lights available
or
Someone is there 30min before ETA to lay the portable path and remains until taxi is completed.
How do we accomodate for PAL lighting alternate requirements
We need an alternate unless a responsible person is in attendance to manually switch on the runway lights within 30min of ETA and remain after taxi.
What is the special deal for lighting alternates
Your alternate can be a PAPI aerodrome and not have someone in attendance, so long as your flight is not passenger carrying or PRT/charter >3500kg, and the aircraft has dual VHF or one VHF and one HF.
BOD + what time allows us to get rid of the requirement for an alternate
10 minutes
What buffer applies for INTERS and TEMPO
30 min before and after. therefore if your arrival falls within 30 min of an INTER or TEMPO, you need holding fuel sufficient for the INTER or TEMPO (30 min or 60 min)
How long is a TTF valid for
3 hours
How often is a TTF issued
every hour
If we have a TAF and a TTF, which do we go by?
tthe TTF supersedes the TAF, therefore we go by what the TTF says.
Where would i find information regarding the correct IFR route in CTA
ERSA GEN FPR (note that from 16 onwards, the routes are simply recommendations)
If an aerodrome is equipped with only a GPS dependent approach, do you have to have an alternate?
YES (AIP ENR 1.1 para 58.3.1.b)
What is the time limit between positive fixes
2 hours
If a fix is based on the intersection of position lines from an NDB alone, what distance must they be within each other?
30nm
What is the variable reserve for IFR charter fuel requirements
15%
i.e. multiply flight time by 1.15
What is the max distance you can fly between position fixes.
6.66xR where R=rated coverage of point B. Then add the rated coverage of A
When planning IFR flights, what guidelines should you follow
those set out in ERSA GEN FPR
