Q

What’s the limitations of an instrument rating

A
  1. Conduct an instrument approach only if the aircraft is equipped for that kind of operation
  2. If single pilot, must have at some time in the past, passed a instrument flight test or IPC in single pilot aircraft
  3. If you want to circle, must have passed flight test in the last 12 months that included circling or latest IPC or OPC (that covers IFR ops and conducted by examiner holding inst rating flight test endo) included circling.
    3.1 - Participating in operator check and training that includes circling
  4. Conduct a IAP only if the holder has conducted training in and demonstrated competency in that approach to CASA or examiner.

Q

What are the limitations of an ATPL

A

Basically the same as instrument rating, however you do not need instrument rating to fly IFR with ATPL, just IPC or OPC(if participating in company check and training and check is with examiner with instrument rating test endo)
2. If you only have proficiency check because your under C and T program, its only valid for that operator

  • hold altitude or lowest safe for 3 min then climb in accordance with last clearance
  • hold at position for 3 min then continue with last clearance
  • if holding complete one more hold then proceed with clearance
    if being VECTORED maintain assigned altitude or lowest safe for 2 min then proceed with latest clearance.

Descend in accordance with SOP or normally to IAP initial altitude:

  • If uncontrolled and satisfied its safe - land
    If controlled and in receipt of landing clearance via voice modulated aid or light signals land
  • if cant land proceed to alternate

Q

What do you do if your enroute with no alternate required, and you get a updated forecast that now requires an alternate?

A
  • You have to land somewhere safe if you cannot land at planned destination OR
  • if within 30min of planned dest and weather is above landing minima, you can continue OR
  • You have fuel to hold for 30min after forecast weather is below alternate minima. Eg weather is forecasted below landing min, but will improve, you can hold for 30min after the forecasted improvement
53
Q

When can you use special alternate minima

A

When you have duel approach capabilities eg:

  • 2 vor,
  • 2 GP

    2 gnss or 2 DME or one of each
  • You have control services and METAR/SPECI or forecasting services
54
Q

What the part 135 takeoff alternate min

A

at ETD and up to an hour after, if the weather is below landing minima or for any other reason you cannot return to the aerodrome, you need an alternate for takeoff that:

  • is within 1 hours flight single engine ISA conditions, nil wind
  • the weather at alternate is above landing minima for at least an hour after takeoff
55
Q
A
56
Q

ATIS,AWIS,ATC approved met observer

59
Q

single we are qualifying multi engine we can go to 550M and 0 ceiling provided:

we have centre line markings or lighting
- runway lights not more than 60m spaced (can find out from FAC)
- 1 sec swithover to standby power
- Day only in radio mandatory airspace if not ATC

60
Q

A
  • area QNH
  • Current actual QNH from aerodrome within 100nm of you
61
Q

64
Q

what the standard outbound leg timings in a hold?

A

Normally says on chart.

  • Standard is - Up to incl FL140 = 1min
  • above FL140 = 1.5min
65
Q

When does an IFR approach ban apply?

A

If you have:

  • An ATC control service
  • RVR report for relevant runway.

You cannot descend below 1000ft AAL on the approach if the TDZ RVR is continually below landing minima

  • Despite this, if you are already below 1000ft AAL, you can continue
66
Q

When can you fly below LSALT

A

VMC by day
Visual approach or departure
Instrument approach or departure
ATC clearance
Takeoff or landing

67
Q

How do we work out Pilot calculated LSALT

A

For RNP 2, the area is 5NM around the aircraft

clearances are:

  • if charted obstacles above 360ft = 1000ft above obstacle
  • if below or no obstacles = add 1360ft
    1500ft min
68
Q

When can you continue below approach minimas

A
  • Visual reference can be maintained
  • Met minima is adhered to
  • continually in a position from which a landing on intended runway can be made using normal rates of descend and flight manoeuvres
69
Q

What are the requirements for a circling approach?

A
  • within prescribed circling area (can go to higher category)
  • have the minimum required weather
  • visual with contact with the runway environment
70
Q

When can you descend below minima on a circling approach

A

By day:

from anywhere in the circling area not below OCA until aligned with the runway

By night:

  • from downwind base or final, complete a continuous descend to the threshold using rates of descend and flight manoeuvres normal to the aircraft type
71
Q

When can you not circle

A

In the no circling area if NOT VMC during the day

72
Q

What are the different circling area sizes

A

Cat B = 2.66
Cat C = 4.2
Cat D = 5.28

73
Q

Whats cat B and C OCA

A

cat B = 300ft
cat C = 400ft

74
Q

what are the 2 reversal procedures

A

-45/180 is 1 to 3min out, 45 degree turn for 1min cat a and b, 1min 15sec cat c and d, then 180 degrees in the opposite direction inbound

  • 80/260 is outbound 1 to 3 min then 80 degree turn, followed by 260 degree turn in opposite direction
75
Q

What are the approach speed for cat b and c

A

Cat B : (Vat 91 to 120)

initial is 120 to 180
final is 85 to 130
reversal is 140
missed approach is 150
circling is 135

Cat C is : (Vat 121 - 140)

initial 160 to 240
final is 115 to 160

circling is 180

76
Q

When will ATC give you a expected approach time during a hold

A

When the delay will be more than 6min

77
Q

Can you reduce or increase your aircraft category

A

You cannot reduce category due to reduced landing weights
- you must increase category if actual handling speeds are in excess of the category
- subject to approval by CASA you can lower your category

78
Q

What is Vat and how is it calculated

A

Indicated speed at threshold crossing

  • Vso at max weight times 1.3 for us
79
