IF Holding Gouge MBs (RNAV)

Question 1

What is the standard hold? (Time, turn direction, max speed, AoB)

Answer 1

• 1 minute legs (1.5 if above FL140)
• Race track pattern to the right unless specified
• Take approx 4 mins (turn 180 = 1 min)
• Max speed = 230KTS
• Rate 1 turn = 20Aob below 160KTS
• Fly a ground track, 10 kts of headwind, add 10 seconds to that leg, inverse if tail wind

Question 2

DELETE

Question 3

What is the difference between fly by and fly over waypoints and how are they visually different?

Answer 3

Fly over WPs have a circle which goes around the star symbol for the WP wile fly by WPs don’t have this circle

In the FMS WPs that are fly over have a “/o” next to them

Question 4

Using Ground speed, what is the math to calculate the RoD for a 3º approach?

Answer 4

Divide the first two numbers of your GS by 2

E.g. 140KTS = 14/2 = 700fpm, 200KTS = 20/2 = 1000fpm

Question 5

DELETE Key points for an RNAV approach brief

Answer 5

• Name of approach + date not required
• Initial tracking intentions, requirements for the hold
• Final approach track (086/266, Step alts not required)
• Required vis/MDA
• Actions if not visual
• Published missed approach (read this out)
• Read out any notes

Question 6

What scale is used on the LMFD during the approach?

Answer 6

10NM until 5NM point hits the IAF then configure and set 5nm for the rest of the approach

Question 7

In the hold, what are your considerations?

Answer 7

Have I been cleared for the approach or just in the hold?
Have I done my AAABCs?

Question 8

When do you set the missed approach alt on the approach?

Answer 8

Once below the missed approach alt, only because it’s annoying if it beeps as you go through
