IFR Knowledge Flashcards
What is the take-off minima?
- Ceiling zero feet
- Visibility 800m, or;
- Visibility 550m -by day OCTA,
- day or night in CTR with ATC
-edge lighting ≤60m and centreline markings or lights
-SBY PWR with 1sec switchover time on edge lights, or centreline lights if no edge lights
What is an approach ban?
The pilot in command must not descend below 1 000 ft AAE where the TDZ RVR is reported by ATC as continually less than the landing minima for the IAP. However, if after passing 1 000 ft AAE, the TDZ RVR is reported by ATC as falling below the landing minima, the approach may be continued.
What is the requirements for a visual approach?
Controlled airspace:
Clear of cloud, Vis 5000m, can maintain continuous visual reference to ground or water to aerodrome
Descend not below CTA LL +500’ and not below CAR157.
Maintain last cleared track/heading until within 5NM (or circling area at night), then manoeuvre
for landing runway. If on a STAR and subsequently cleared for visual approach, follow STAR lateral
profile, including any
visual or instrument termination route.
Not below the LSALT/MSA/MDA until the circling area (or 3NM if AD with no instrument app), or:
Within 5NM (7NM if ILS runway) of aerodrome, established not below T-VASIS or PAPI, aligned with
runway
Within 10NM if established not below ILS GS and less than full scale deflection of LOC
12 nm YSSY ILS
What is the circling radius from runways for Cat C?
CAT C 4.20nm.
For Cat C aircraft what is the:
Vat
121 - 140kts
For Cat C aircraft what is the:
Initial and itermediate approach speeds
160 - 240kts
For Cat C aircraft what is the:
Range of final approach speeds
115 - 160kts
For Cat C aircraft what is the:
Max speeds for visual circling
&
for missed approach
Circling max - 180kts
Missed approach max - 240
Alternate requirements?
1000ft above landing minima, app likely to be used
Vis 5km
If IAP at least 2km more than iap min
