- 120 - 180kts
(140kts for the reversal turn procedure)
9
Q
- When must a missed approach be commenced?
A
- If, at the missed approach point, including the specified DA or DH, the pilot has not established visual reference with the runway or visual landing aids; or
- An identifiable part of the aerodrome is not distinctly visable to the pilot during a circling manoeuvreat or above MDA; or
- At anytime during a final approach when directed by ATC.
10
Q

A
- 4.2nm
15
Q
- Define Reversal Procedure
A
- Includes any procedure turn, base turn or race track.
16
Q
- If visibility is reported below minima, can you commence the approach?
A
- It maybe commenced but can not be continued past the FAF if conditions remain unchanged.
17
Q
- Define Arrival Segment
A
- The part of an approach where you descend to the IAF
18
Q
- CAT C Initial Approach Speeds
A
- 160 - 240kts
19
Q
- CAT B Circling Speed
A
- 135kts
20
Q
- Requirements for a visual approach at Night
A
- It is essential that the pilot has the runway lights in sight.
Sighting of the Aerodrome beacon, REIL or approach lighting system is insufficient.
21
Q
- How is an aircrafts category established?
A
- Based off the aircrafts Threshold crossing speed (Vat)
- Vat = 1.3 x Vso
Vso = The stall speed in the landing configuration at Max Landing Weight (MLW)

- The part of the approach from IF - FAF/FAP
25
Q
- Max Holding Speed
- 14,000ft - 20,000ft
- Turbulence
A
- 240kts
Turbulence = Lesser of 280kts or M0.8
26
Q
- When can you descend below MDA or continue an approach below DA or DH?
A
- The aircraft is in a position that descent using normal rates of descent and using normal manoeuvres will allow touchdown in the touchdown zone, and
- On a circling approach, remain in the circling area; and
- The Visibility is not below the Min Visibility for the approach; and
- Have at least one of the following visual references in sight:
- The approach lighting system; or
- The Treshold Markings; or
- The Threshold Lights; or
- The REILs (Runway-end identification lights); or
- The PAPIs; or
- The TDZ or TDZ markings; or
- TDZ lights; or
- The runway or runway markings; or
- The runway lights.
