IFR Departures/Approaches

Question 1

Precision Approach

Answer 1

is an approach in which pilots receive vertical and lateral guidance.

Question 2

Precision Approach Types

Answer 2

ILS Instrument Landing System
Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) Landing System (GLS)
Precision Approach Radar (PAR)

Question 3

Non Precision Approach

Answer 3

Non-Precision Approaches (NPA) are standard instrument approach procedures with only lateral guidance from the localizer signal.

Question 4

Non Precision Approach Types

Answer 4

Area Navigation (RNAV)
Localizer Performance (LP)
Very-High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR)
Non-Directional Beacon (NDB)
Localizer (LOC)
Approach Surveillance Radar (ASR)
Localizer Type Directional Approach (LDA)
Simplified Directional Facility (SDF)

Question 5

Approaches with Vertical Guidance (APV)

Answer 5

APV approaches provide course and glidepath deviation information.
APV approaches are more accurate than RNAV approaches

Question 6

APV Types

Answer 6

Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV)
LNAV/VNAV - Lateral Nav - Vertical Nav
