FI Maneuvers

Question 1

What are the four basic ILS maneuvers?

Answer 1

ILS-1 Arc across the course, ILS-2 In-bound level run, ILS-3 Inbound approach to threshold with level flight over the runway, CBP - Clearance below path approach to threshold

Question 2

What does the ILS-1 Inspection Arc Inspect?

Answer 2

Localizer width, symmetry, sector clearances, loc signal strength, ID, and modulation. Perform loc width monitor checks in this mode. 35 degrees either side of course.

Question 3

What does the ILS-2 measure?

Answer 3

Glide slope angle, path width, symmetry, clearance above path, structure-below-path, and signal strength. Perform width limit monitor checks in this mode.

Question 4

What does the ILS-3 measure?

Answer 4

Localizer alignment, structure, signal strength, polarization, and modulation. Glide Slope angle, angle alignment, structure, signal strength, and modulation. Marker beacon width and tone.

Question 5

What does the CBP maneuver ensure?

Answer 5

This check is to ensure a full “fly up” is indicated while being within the GS service volume, and well below path.

Question 6

How do we fly the PAR inspection?

Answer 6

Proceed from approximately 12 miles until the controller advises on path. Descend, maximizing the number of on-centerline and on-glide path controller calls.

Question 7

What is the preferred method for conducting a VOR/TACAN/DME facility flight inspection?

Answer 7

AFIS

Question 8

How do we evaluate an ARR (Alignment Reference Radial)?

Answer 8

Evaluate a 5-10 NM segment between 10 & 25 NM.

Note: The aircraft must be coupled to RNAV.

Question 9

At what altitudes must terminal radials/fixes (Approach/Missed Approach) be measured?

Answer 9

All evaluations must be conducted at the procedural altitudes except the final approach segment. From the FAF to MAP, all fixes (step-down, MDA) must be evaluated 100 feet below procedural altitude to the MAP.

Question 10

For an NDB SIAP without a FAF, from what distance and altitude must the final segment be measured?

Answer 10

For SIAP(s) without a FAF, fly the final segment from the procedure turn distance at the minimum published procedure turn completion altitude and descend to at least 100 feet below the minimum descent altitude for that segment. In addition, descend to 100 feet below all step-down fix altitudes inside the FAF.

Question 11

How do we evaluate the RNAV final approach segment?

Answer 11

Fly the *procedural altitude(s) for all segments up to the Final Approach Fix.

• Fly the Final Approach Segment (FAS), descending on path to 100 ft below the lowest minima.
  
  • Note: Obstacle check flown 100 ft below designed procedural altitudes.
