5nm
133
If cleared a visual approach BY NIGHT, what distance from the airport must you maintain TRK/HDG to?
The circling area from the category of operation
134
Recommended CCT height for a jet or turboprop?
1500ft AAL
135
How far from the threshold of the RWY can an aircraft turn opposite to the CCT direction?
3nm or CCT Height + 500ft
136
What distance from the threshold must you be established on final by during a straight-in approach?
3nm
137
When can you cancel SARWATCH?

138
Regarding LAHSO... what constitutes an "ACTIVE" aircraft?
An aircraft which is issued a "land and hold short" clearance and is alerted about traffic on the crossing RWY
139
Regarding LAHSO... what constitutes a "PASSIVE" aircraft?
An aircraft which has full unrestricted use of a RWY and is alerted about traffic on the crossing RWY
140
What are the conditions for LAHSO?
1. XW is not >20kts, TW is not >5kts (DRY) or 0kts (WET) 2. Simultaneous T/O and LDG's are permitted by DAY ONLY 3. Simultaneous LDG's are permitted by DAY and NIGHT 4. Ceiling is not < the MVA and visibility is not <8km (5000m if ATC are assured of seeing the aircraft prior to loss of surveillance) 5. The distance from the LDG Threshold and the Hold-Short Line is adequate for the active aircraft 6. The airport chart and directory show LDA for LAHSO information 7. The active pilot can assure that the aircraft can brake well before the Hold-Short Line when the RWY is wet 8. There is no low level windshear 9. After LDG, the active pilot must inform ATC immediately if he will have difficulty in complying with the LAHSO requirement
