Instrument Approahes, Circling Approaches Flashcards
What is a visual manoeuvring (circling)
Non precision approach
Visual phase of flight after completing an instrument approach to bring the aircraft into position for landing on a runway not suitably located for a straight in approach
What happens if there is obstacles within the VM(C) area
The whole area may be precluded
Why is each approach different
Runway layout
Final approach track
Met conditions
What to do in a missed approach when on VM(C)
Make a climbing turn towards the instrument runway and when overhead aerodrome = Carry our missed approach specified for the instrument approach runway
What is the min visibility for VM(C)
Category of a/c = Vis (Nm)
A = 1 B = 1.5 C = 2 D = 2.5
What categories of aircraft are applicable to do circling approaches
A, B, C, D, E
