Question 1

Is an ILS approach a precision or nonprecision approach?

Answer 1

Precision. ILS approaches provide both course and glidepath information.

Question 2

Based on the marker beacon indication shown, approximately where is the aircraft along the ILS approach path?

Answer 2

At the FAF or glideslope intercept point

Question 3

What are the “6 Ts” you can use as a memory aid to accomplish required items at the FAF?

Answer 3

a. Time for the approach/backup approach b. Turn the aircraft to intercept final approach course. c. Throttle (PCL) set to establish descent. d. Twist in final approach course on EHSI. e. Track final approach course inbound. f. Talk (report FAF and call gear down as required)

Question 4

Flying a GPS approach with Super Nav 5 mode selected, how is the FAF identified on the GPS display?

Answer 4

On the left display panel by a dash and lower case “f” following the FAF waypoint name (i.e. “RUBUF-f”) Four suffixes are used to identify key points during a GPS approach: a. IAF: “-I” b. FAF: “-f” c. MAP: “-m” d. MAP holding fix: “-h”

Question 5

What course should you set in the EHSI to fly this approach?

Answer 5

352°

Question 6

If IMC conditions are likely to be encountered, when will missed approach instructions for a radar approach normally be issued?

Answer 6

On radar downwind or base leg

Question 7

If ceiling is less than 500 feet above the MVA and visibility is less than 3 miles, the aircraft will be vectored to intercept the final approach course at least ______ from the FAF at a maximum intercept angle of _____ degrees.

Answer 7

3 miles; 30

Question 8

You are flying an ASR approach and the radar controller is providing recommended altitudes on final. These recommended altitudes approximate the ______ glidepath and will cease at the ______.

Answer 8

PAR; minimum descent altitude

Question 9

How do you know you are at the MAP on an ASR approach?

Answer 9

You will be told by the controller.

Question 10

You are at DA on a PAR approach when _____.

Answer 10

you reach published DA on the aircraft’s altimeter or the controller states “At Decision Height”, whichever occurs first

Question 11

Typical runway lighting consists of a row of ______ lights on each side of the runway, ______ lights identifying the runway threshold, and ______ lights at the departure end.

Answer 11

white; green; red

Question 12

Runway End Identifier Lights (REIL) are flashing white lights used to ______.

Answer 12

mark the approach end of the runway

Question 13

Where can you find a detailed diagram of the type of approach lighting identified by this symbol?

Answer 13

The Flight Information Handbook (FIH)

Question 14

Which runway minimums do you use when flying a circling approach?

Answer 14

Use the circling minimums and MDA for the runway the approach is flown to. DO NOT use minimums for runway of intended landing.

Question 15

How much obstacle clearance is provided when circling at the published MDA?

Answer 15

300 feet when remaining within the obstructing clearance area for your category of aircraft

Question 16

When flying a circling maneuver, is it permissible to fly at an altitude ABOVE the circling MDA?

Answer 16

Yes. Weather permitting you may accomplish the circle maneuver above the published MDA up to normal VFR traffic pattern altitude

Question 17

If you are executing climbout instructions and the departure end of the runway is in sight, delay any turn until ______.

Answer 17

past the departure end of the runway and 400 feet AGL

Question 18

When executing a missed approach from a circling maneuver begin a _____.

Answer 18

climbing turn in the last known direction of the landing runway until established on the missed approach procedure/climbout instructions as appropriate

Question 19

What does the highlighted symbol represent?

Answer 19

The ILS glideslope intercept point

Question 20

The circled number is the ______ for the straight-in VOR RWY 33 approach at Lufkin/Angelina County.

Answer 20

Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA)

Question 21

About ______ nose-low and ______ torque will maintain approach speed and a descent rate of 800 - 1000 fpm.

Answer 21

1°; 16%

Question 22

You have been cleared the GPS RWY 5 approach at Cochran Airport and instructed to enter holding at VIENNA. What mode must you select for the GPS before entering holding?

Answer 22

OBS mode. You must select OBS mode whenever you are flying a GPS approach and you are given radar vectors, performing a procedure turn, or holding.

Question 23

When you cross the FAF on a GPS approach, the track line to the FAF on the EHSI will turn ______.

Answer 23

green

Question 24

You have been cleared the LOC RWY 17 approach at Brownwood Regional. How should you configure the RMU navigation frequencies in order to complete this approach?

Answer 24

Set Brownwood (108.6) in RMU primary NAV position, push DME HOLD, then set Brownwood RWY 17 localizer frequency (109.1) in primary NAV

Question 25

You are flying an ILS approach. You are past the localizer FAF and above the localizer MDA. You go two dots below the ILS glidepath. Do you have to go missed approach?

Answer 25

a. No, you may descend to the localizer MDA and transition to a localizer-only approach. b. If you recapture the glideslope prior to the localizer MDA, you may continue the ILS approach.

Question 26

What is the ILS DA for this approach? If flying this approach in a T-6A as a straight-in LOC/DME, what is the primary means of identifying the MAP?

Answer 26

891 feet MSL; 1.0 DME

Question 27

You are going to fly a VOR approach to Runway 13 and circle to Runway 22. Which circling minimums do you use to fly the approach, the minimums for Runway 13 or the minimums for Runway 22?
