Answer 6

1200

2000

3000

Question 7

How do we work out alternates?

Answer 7

ACVWPLS

AIDS - available and serviceable equipment

CLOUD - no more than SCT below alt minima

VISIBILITY - not below alternate minima

WIND - not above ACFT limitations

PROV/PROB - Prov can’t go, Prob below alt minima

LIGHTING - refer requirements

STORMS - storms impose operational risks

Question 8

Required aids for RPT?

Answer 8

Either 1 x published approach at the destination with 2 independent systems in the ACFT to use this aid

OR

2x Published approach radio aids at the destination with independent system in the ACFT to use this approach

Question 9

Requirements for lighting ?

Answer 9

Must have lighting available. (PAL, portable or permanent). If not PAL requires to turned on 10 mins prior to departure and remain on for 30 mins after.

For arrival must be turned on 30 mins prior to arrival to completion of taxi. If it’s PAL a responsible person is required with standby or portable light.

An alternate airport with PAL requires a responsible person

Question 10

Takeoff minima for qualifying multi ?

Enroute 1.5-31

Answer 10

Zero feet ceiling 800 m vis.
This can be reduced to 550m if the following applies:

• runway has illuminated edge lighting at spacing intervals not more then 60m and centre like markings or lighting
• the aerodrome must have secondary power and a switchover capability of one second or less for centreline lights or runway edge lights

If at an uncontrolled aerodrome must only be reduced to 550 by day only

Question 11

Deviations in CTA ?

Answer 11

NDB - +/- 5 degrees

VOR - half scale deflection

RNP/RNAV - outside prescribed limits

DME - +/- 2nm

VISUAL - +/- 1nm

Question 12

Circling area CAT C ACFT?

Answer 12

4.2nm and 400ft obstacle clearance

Question 13

Flights below lower safe ?

Answer 13

Don’t vector in very close

DME/GNSS

Visual by day

Instrument approach

Vectors

Climb after takeoff

Question 14

Visual approach by day ?

Answer 14

In sight ground or water

Within 30nm

Visibility 5km

Maintain track within 5nm

Question 15

Visual approach by night?

Answer 15

Within 30nm

In sight ground or water

Visibility 5km

Maintain track until circling area OR

5nm PAPI
7nm PAPI with ILS
10nm with Glideslope

Question 16

When to conduct a missed approach?

Answer 16

So Not ROFL

Straight in landing affected

Not visual

RAIM

Out of tolerance

Failure or suspect aid

Lost visual

Question 17

Shaded box on LNAV what can we subtract ?

Answer 17

100ft off minima but add 30ft for DDA

Question 18

Rex add what for PEC for a DA eg:ILS

Answer 18

30ft

Question 19

RNAV capture regions ?

Answer 19

Straight in fix = 70 degrees either side (140 degrees total)

From side fix = 180 degrees
