IF Approaches

Question 1

What kinds of approaches can the Tiger fly?

Answer 1

ILS
RNAV
VOR/TACAN

Question 2

Should the VOR/ILS box fail, what kinds of approach’s can be flown?

Answer 2

RNAV only

Question 3

If the GPS fails, what kind of approach can be flown?

Answer 3

• VOR, but only if time based
• ILS is possible however ILS distance information must be provided by ATC at the IAF/FAF IOT

Question 4

Can the Tiger system couple up to and fly and ILS or inbound VOR radial?

Answer 4

No, ILS uses manual COL setting and HDG mode

Question 5

For an ILS, what should be shown on the MFDs and why?

Answer 5

PFD
NAV page in SECT mode —> Allows clear TRK info

Question 6

How is the approach angle managed during an ILS?

Answer 6

4 axis mode, V/S is manually controlled via beep trims

Question 7

How does the ARH tiger get distance information?

Answer 7

Through GNSS data only, ARH does not have DME

Question 8

Since tiger doesn’t have DME, what restrictions does this have on which ILS approach can be flown?

Answer 8

CHECK:

Distance information from GNSS must be aligned

Question 9

How can an ILS be tuned and what requirements are there to check accuracy?

Answer 9

NAV Page —> RNAV —> BCN List OR manual entry of freq

• When manually entering the ILS, its ident code must be checked

Question 10

How should the NAV page be setup during an ILS?

Answer 10

• NAV page in SEC mode

Question 11

You are approach the IAF on the ILS when you have en engine failure, what are your actions?

Answer 11

A - Speed back to 75KIAS, BF complete
N - Maintain the ILS
C - PAN call
A - Checklist/SDIP/before LDG Cx

Question 12

On approach, what should DH/DA be set for each approach type?

Answer 12

ILS:
- DH = 150ft, 300ft if planned circling
- DA = Decision height

VOR/RNP
- DH = 250ft, 300 if planned circling
- DA = Set to the minima

Question 13

You are arching to intercept the ILS, when and how should you intercept finals?

Answer 13

Passing the lead radial, set HDG for a 30ºintercept

Question 14

What upper modes are used during an ILS approach?

Answer 14

3 axis: HDG and IAS, RoD is controlled with COL
4 axis: HDG/IAS/AAQ for the minima, beep V/S to control RoD

Question 15

How can the glide slope RoD be calculated on approach? And what RoD would we expect for 75KIAS and 100KIAS approaches?

Answer 15

Ground Speed x 5
@100kts = 500ft/min
@75kts = 375ft/min

Question 16

You are expecting to gain visual at the minima and fly straight in, what additional considerations are there to terminate?

Answer 16

Expect to be approx 250ft AGL @ 100KIAS, IOT slow down safely, decel to 75KIAS and approach to the far end

Question 17

Once visual what actions should be completed?

Answer 17

• First pilot to gain visual takes over flying
• Landing light as required (by night)
• Maintain upper modes if circling, if not select TAC

Question 18

What kind of VOR approach requires GNSS?

Answer 18

If the VOR uses DME distance instead of time

Question 19

What restriction apply to RNAVs built on JMPS?

Answer 19

• Must use DAFIF WPs
• Must be checked by 2x COMD instrument rated pilots
• Must use the straight in fix

Question 20

How can a RNAV route be checked airborne?

Answer 20

NAV page - 500k scale does it look right/correct direction?
CDU - Flight log, should have 2-3 mins between each WP

Question 21

When an approach has a VNAV and LNAV minima, which should you use?

Answer 21

LNAV only

Question 22

Since the MAPt is a fly over WP, how should you manage the AFCS so that it doesn’t fly past?

Answer 22

Switch to HDG mode then back to NAV mode

Question 23

Explain how your actions are different if there is a turn between the MAPt and “H” WP compared with a straight on missed approach?

Answer 23

If there’s a turn, the NAV system will fly direct, not follow the smooth turn, therefore switch to HDG mode IOT turn on, then engage NAV mode

Question 24

On a GNSS approach, what is the last point where you can manoeuvre within your sector?

Answer 24

Cannot manoeuvre past the FAF

Question 25

How does the approach profile differ for a GNSS approach compared to all others?

Answer 25

Descend to MDA once within the last step IOT get visual

Question 26

Explain your actions IOT fly the missed approach AEO:

Answer 26

One of the missed approach criteria met —> “Going around”

• Disengage ALT, PWR to MCP (If turn after MAPt use HDG)
• NFP engage MA altitude
• R/T call, RQST reposition

Question 27

Explain your actions IOT fly the missed approach OEI:

Answer 27

One of the missed approach criteria met —> “Going around”

• Disengage ALT, PWR to MCP, bleed RRPM to 315 (If turn after MAPt use HDG)
• NFP engage MA altitude
• R/T call, RQST reposition

Question 28

Explain what admin must be completed passing the IAF and then through the FAF? 4 —> 2

Answer 28

Through IAF:
- Pre LDG Cx
- Satellites/Horizontal Accuracy
- QNH validity
- 100k scale (WPTs on)

Through FAF:
- R/T
- Confirm above 4 items checked

Question 29

What are the main components of “Aids” within AAABCs on approach? (3)

Answer 29

• DH/DA
• NAV Page/CDI needles
• PRI/STBY frequencies

Question 30

For an RNP, how do you identify a fly past vs a fly over way point?

Answer 30

Fly past = 4 pointed star
Flow over = 4 pointed star surrounded by a circle
