Flight Procedures Flashcards
General aviation operators are authorized to do an approach in what conditions?
- The lowest reported RVR is at or above the minima
- RVR is fluctuating above and below the minima
- ATC/FSS ground visibility is reported to be more than 1/4 SM
- RVR is unavailable or not reported
- ATS is informed that it’s a training flight and that it will do a missed approach
- Aircraft is conducting an ILS CAT III approach
What is the approach Minima when there is an RVR?
RVR A only : 1200
RVR B only: 1200
RVR A and B: 600
What is the approach ban for commercial operator?
Approximately 75% of the advisory visibility published on the plate.
What is the category II approach ban?
RVA A only: 1200
RVR B only: 1200
RVR A and B: 1200/600
What is the approach ban for an Ops Spec?
Around 50% of the advised visibility on the plate
Landings are governed by what information?
Published DH/DA/MDAs
What information do you need before starting a straight-in approach?
Wind direction and speed, altimeter setting and runway condition report.
What should you do if there is no information such as wind, altimeter settings or runway reports during a straight-in approach?
You should proceed with a visual inspection (example: circling procedure)
When are minimas for straight-in landings published on a plate/
When the final approach track intersects the extended runway centre-line within 30° and within 3000’ from the threshold
What is the speed associated with a Category A aircraft?
Up to 90KTS
What is the speed associated with a Category B aircraft?
91-120 KTS
What is the speed associated with a Category C aircraft?
121-140 KTS
What is the speed associated with a Category D aircraft?
141-165 KTS
What is the speed associated with a Category E aircraft?
Above 165 KTS (military)
If a remote altimeter setting is required for limited hours only, where will you find the altitude correction?
It will be included with the authorization
If a remote altimeter setting is required at all times, where shall you find the altitude correction?
The correction will be already included in the procedure.
Define a visual approach
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.
Define a Contact approach
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
The missed approach procedure that should be followed is the runway’s MAP or the approach’s MAP
You must follow the approach’s MAP
Where is the center of the MSA?
It’s the MAWP (missed approach waypoint)
GPS overlay cannot apply to which kind of approaches?
LOC, LOC(BC), ILS
If the traditional navaid is out of service, is the GPS overlay still authorized?
Yes
