Answer 5

Around 50% of the advised visibility on the plate

Question 6

Landings are governed by what information?

Answer 6

Published DH/DA/MDAs

Question 7

What information do you need before starting a straight-in approach?

Answer 7

Wind direction and speed, altimeter setting and runway condition report.

Question 8

What should you do if there is no information such as wind, altimeter settings or runway reports during a straight-in approach?

Answer 8

You should proceed with a visual inspection (example: circling procedure)

Question 9

When are minimas for straight-in landings published on a plate/

Answer 9

When the final approach track intersects the extended runway centre-line within 30° and within 3000’ from the threshold

Question 10

What is the speed associated with a Category A aircraft?

Answer 10

Up to 90KTS

Question 11

What is the speed associated with a Category B aircraft?

Answer 11

91-120 KTS

Question 12

Answer 12

121-140 KTS

Question 13

What is the speed associated with a Category D aircraft?

Answer 13

141-165 KTS

Question 14

What is the speed associated with a Category E aircraft?

Answer 14

Above 165 KTS (military)

Question 15

If a remote altimeter setting is required for limited hours only, where will you find the altitude correction?

Answer 15

It will be included with the authorization

Question 16

If a remote altimeter setting is required at all times, where shall you find the altitude correction?

Answer 16

The correction will be already included in the procedure.

Question 17

Define a visual approach

Answer 17

It is an IFR approach done in VMC ( 1000Ft, 3SM vis,)
it is proposed by ATC
ATC is responsible for traffic separation but not obstacle clearance.

Question 18

Define a Contact approach

Answer 18

It is an IFR approach done with at least 1SM vis.
Must be out of clouds at all time
It is requested by the pilot.
Traffic separation is provided but not obstacle clearance

Question 19

The missed approach procedure that should be followed is the runway’s MAP or the approach’s MAP

Answer 19

You must follow the approach’s MAP

Question 20

Where is the center of the MSA?

Answer 20

It’s the MAWP (missed approach waypoint)

Question 21

GPS overlay cannot apply to which kind of approaches?

Answer 21

LOC, LOC(BC), ILS

Question 22

If the traditional navaid is out of service, is the GPS overlay still authorized?

Answer 22

Yes
