Question 6

What are the key differences between a precision and non-precision instrument final approach?

Answer 6

a. A precision approach provides both course and glidepath information and ends at a point called Decision Altitude (DA).
b. A non-precision approach provides course information only and ends at a point called the Missed Approach Point (MAP).

Question 7

Answer 7

a. What constitutes the landing environment
b. Appropriate techniques for transitioning from instrument to visual flight
c. Impact of visual illusions during transition to landing and how to combat them
