When a penetration turn altitude is not published when should a turn inbound be started?
Start the turn after descending one-half the total altitude between the IAF and FAF altitudes.

What is the normal bank angle used in a penetration turn?
30 degrees
[11-217V1 CH 10.2.3, pg. 171]
T/F: If a penetration turn completion altitude is depicted, do not descend below this altitude until you are established on the inbound segment of the published approach procedure.
True
[11-217V1 CH 10.2.3.1, pg. 171]
For a Radial Approach, when over the IAF, turn immediately in the shorter direction toward the __________.
Inbound course/approach course
[11-217V1 CH 10.3.1, pg. 173]
For a Radial Approach, if your heading is within ________ of the approach course, you are not required to overfly the IAF; use normal lead points.
90º
[11-217V1 CH 10.3.1, pg. 174]
When can you begin the descent for a Radial Approach?
Start the descent when the aircraft is abeam or past the IAF on a parallel or intercept heading to the approach course.
[11-217V1 CH 10.3.2, pg. 174]
When can you begin the descent for a Radial/Arc Combination Approach?
Start the descent when you are established on an intercept to the arc and abeam or past the IAF in relation to the initial approach track.
[11-217V1 CH 10.4, pg. 175]
If a dead reckoning course is depicted on an approach fly the heading corrected for wind to fly the depicted _________.
Ground track
[11-217V1 CH 10.6, pg. 177]
What are the two broad categories of low altitude approaches?
Course reversals and procedure tracks
[11-217V1 CH 11.2, pg. 179]
Unless ATC specifically clears you otherwise, you are expected to fly to the _______ and execute the full instrument approach procedure as published.
IAF
[11-217V1 CH 11.2.1, pg. 179]
When ATC clears you for the approach when can you descend out of the last assigned altitude?
When established on a segment of the published IAP
[11-217V1 CH 11.2.1, pg. 179]
When must the pilot slow to aircraft maneuvering speed?
Prior to reaching the IAF
[11-217V1 CH 11.2.3, pg. 180]
When should you NOT execute a procedure turn or HILO PT? (Hint: SNERT)
S - when ATC clears you for a straight-in
N - if you are flying the approach via No PT routing
E - when you are Established in holding and the approach
and holding course are the same
R - when ATC provides Radar vectors to the FAF
T - when ATC clears you for a Timed approach
[11-217V1 CH 11.3.1, pg. 180]
How are procedure turns depicted?
