IFR 2.16 Approach Procedure

Question 1

When does the approach procedure commence?

Answer 1

When pilot reaches IAF defined in a chart

Question 2

Can the IAF be exceeded without prior authorization?

Answer 2

No

Question 3

What happens if we do not have the clearance to start the app procedure?

Answer 3

We must complete holdings over the IAF in the holding published

Question 4

Into how many segments can the approach be divided?

Answer 4

3:

Initial Approach
Intermediate Approach
Final Approach

Question 5

Where does the Initial Approach commence and end?

Answer 5

Begins at the IAF and ends at the IF

Question 6

Where does the Intermediate Approach commence and end?

Answer 6

Starts at the IF and ends at the FAF or FAP

Question 7

What happens if the IF is not indicated in the approach chart?

Answer 7

Intermediate approach will begin at the last straight leg before commencing the Final Approach

Question 8

When must the Approach checklist be read?

Answer 8

Passing the IF or in the last straight leg before commencing the Final Approach Phase

Question 9

What’s performed during this phase?

Answer 9

Configuration for landing and speed reduction

Question 10

What’s the procedure at Flyschool to configure the aircraft?

Answer 10

On a Precision Approach:

1.5 dots below G/S Flaps 1
1 dot below G/S Gear Down & Flaps 2

On a Non-Precision Approach:

1.5 NM before FAF Flaps 1
1 NM before FAF Gear Down
0.5 NM before FAF Flaps 2

Question 11

What’s the procedure of configuration if case there is no FAF or with FAF immediately after completing reversal Procedure?

Answer 11

Last straight leg before final: Flap 1
Established on final: Gear down and Flaps 2

Question 12

Once the acft is configured and before the FAP/FAF…

Answer 12

Acft should be configured, maintaining Vref Speed and Landing Checklist must be completed

Question 13

Where does the Final Approach begin and end?

Answer 13

Final approach commences in the FAP/FAF and ends at the MAPt or Minimums

Question 14

What if the meteorological conditions are close to, but below minimums?

Answer 14

We may initiate approach

Question 15

What if weather is below minimums for our category of acft and type of approach at the FAF/FAP?

Answer 15

We cannot begin the final approach phase

Question 16

What callouts must the pilot make during the Final Approach apart from the standard callouts for radials/localizers and glideslope? (radial alive, loc alive, glideslope alive)

Answer 16

1000 ft or 1000 ft above terrain
500 ft or 500 ft above terrain
100 ft to go (100 ft above minimums)
Minimums

Question 17

What happens once the MAPt in case of a NPA or the DA/H in case of a Precision approach is reached?

Answer 17

Missed Approach must be initiated immediately

Question 18

Does Flyschool allow any changes in configuration of acft in the segment between FAP&FAF and MAPt?

Answer 18

No

Question 19

What’s the Missed Approach Procedure once it’s announced?

Answer 19

• Move Throttle to Maximum Power Smoothly, but firmly
• Set Go-Around Flap Setting (Normally Take-Off Flap)
• Pitch up to maintain the airspeed and begin a climb

Question 20

What’s the callout?

Answer 20

Go Around Power
Go Around Flap

Question 21

What do we do once the acft has a positive climb on Altimeter and VErtical Speed?

Answer 21

Positive Rate and Gear Up

Question 22

What do we do once we are at 200 ft above minimums or 500 ft AGL (whichever is higher)?

Answer 22

Clean the flaps and continue the climb

Question 23

What do we do at 400 ft?

Answer 23

First power reduction, same as Takeoff Procedure
Notify to ATC
When acft is controlled on a steady climb
Perform After Take-Off Checklist

Question 24

What do we do once the after take-off checklist is completed?

Answer 24

Navigate following the Missed Approach Procedure indicated in the chart

Question 25

What would be do in the remote, but possible scenario, where we need to perform a Missed Approach below Minima? When would it usually occur?

Answer 25

In case of any abnormality where the aircraft is not safe to land once it has passed the MDA or MDH and requires a Go-Around

Question 26

When do we proceed with a Go-Around Procedure in this case?

Answer 26

When the acft has passed the Minima or MAPt, and the acft is not safe to fly the published missed approach because the published missed approach is based on the acft starting the Go-Around at minima, so the acft will not fly in the protected area in the missed approach procedure.

Question 27

What must the pilot ensure in this case?

Answer 27

That we have a procedure to fly safely

Question 28

What will normally be used?

Answer 28

Same procedure or study as the EOSID

Question 29

What’s the technique to fly safely in this case?

Answer 29

Fly the lowest MSA sector
Keeping caution with terrain, obstacles
Fly safely to regain a new approach

Question 30

What’s a cricling approach?

Answer 30

An extension of an instrument approach procedure which provides for visual circling of the aerodrome prior to landing

Question 31

When is this technique used?

Answer 31

When there are no available procedures for a rwy, but there are procedures for the opposite rwy instead.

Question 32

How’s this technique flown?

Answer 32

Fly the procedure for a rwy, then, upon reaching Minimums for holding, turn left/right (depending on the airport requrements) 45º, and complete a visual pattern for the opposite runway.

Question 33

What do we do once we reach the MAPt or DA/H?

Answer 33

turn left/right 45º for 1 minute

After that, turn to join downwind and will proceed as a visual pattern configuring the aircraft as a visual pattern procedure.

Question 34

What do we do on final?

Answer 34

Read Landing Checklist

Question 35

What happens in case of a visual contact loss with the rwy at any point of the circling?

Answer 35

Follow the Missed Approach Procedure While Circling

Question 36

How’s the Missed Approach Procedure While Circling?

Answer 36

Make an initial climbing turn toward the landing rwy and overhead the aerodrome

At this point, pilot will establish the aircraft climbing on the missed approach track

Question 37

Is there only one Missed Approach Procedure While Circling pattern?

Answer 37

No, it may be carried out in more than one direction.

Question 38

What’s the Engine Failure during Approach (N-1 Approach)?

Engine failure during approach

Answer 38

Complete appropriate engine failure procedure
Approach should be continued
It may not be worth it to attempt a re-start, however, if possibe, it should be attempted

Question 39

How should acft configuration be adjusted?

Answer 39

Due to the increased drag, especially the gear’s

It is recommended not to configure the acft until (short) final with the rwy in sight

Question 40

What will happen in the undesirable event of a N-1 Missed Approach?

Answer 40

Gear down and flaps down will complicate the maneuver unnecessarily

Question 41

What would happen in case of an engine failure during final approach?

Answer 41

The approach should be continued to minimums.

No engine re-start should be attempted at this point.

Fly the aircraft and try to land

Question 42

What’s the most important thing to keep in mind?

Answer 42

Configuration of aircraft

However, after having initiated the Final Approach, the aircraft will already be in the landing configuration, which would complicate a missed approach

Question 43

What would happen if we have an Engine Failure during the Missed Approach?

Answer 43

Apply full power and clean aircraft as soon as possible

Once positive climb has been established and a safe altitude has been reached:

Engine re-start should be attempted
