Q

What type of descent rate should be used for an ASR?

A

Q

What are the pilot responsibilities during a visual approach?

A

Advise ATC if the visual approach is not desired

  • Proceed visually and clear of clouds in the most safe and direct manner to align the aircraft for a normal straight in approach
  • Must have previous aircraft or airport environment in sight
  • Must comply with ATC vectors
  • If instructed to follow another aircraft, Must notify ATC if cannot see or maintain visual contact with the other aircraft

17
Q

In the radar pattern, when may the pilot begin slowing down to the normal approach airspeed?

A

-In the base leg

18
Q

What obstacle clearance do min vectoring altitudes provide?

A

-1000ft above highest obstacle (2000ft in mountainous terrain)

19
Q

Are controllers required to provide traffic advisories in the radar pattern?

A

No. They are optional and only if workload permits

20
Q

In IMC conditions, when will the approach controller issue missed approach instructions?

A

-On downwind leg or base leg

21
Q

In a PAR, when does the pilot know he has reached the DA/DH?

A

-Altimeter or controller will state it, whichever occurs first

22
Q

In a NO-GYRO approach, what type of turns will be used?

A
  • Standard rate turns prior to final,

- half standard rate turns on final only when directed to do so by the controller

23
Q

When does the transition to landing portion of an instrument approach begin?

A

-When pilot can maintain continuous visual contact with the runway environment

24
Q

Where can the pilot find a description and diagram of all approach lighting systems?

A

-Flight Information Handbook

25
Q

What are the three basic components of all runway lighting systems?

A
  • Green lights at the approach end
  • Red lights at departure end
  • White lights lining the side edges of the runway
26
Q

True or false. Under normal circumstances the pilot can plan a circling approach from a PAR.

A

-False

27
Q

How are pilot activated approach lighting systems and REILs identified on the airport sketch?

A

-Black oval with white “L” in the middle

28
Q

Prior to entering holding, when can the pilot consider himself conveniently aligned for the teardrop entry?

A

-When the aircraft heading is within 45 degrees of the selected teardrop course

29
Q

What are the maximum holding airspeeds and their associated altitudes?

A
  • 200knots from SL-6000 ft
  • 230 knots above 6000ft to 14000 ft
  • 265 knots above 14000 ft
  • 310 knots at any USAF airfield/ 230 knots at any USN airfield unless otherwise noted
30
Q

When may the pilot descend from the assigned holding altitude to the minimum published holding altitude?

A

-When cleared for the approach

31
Q

When are pilots expected to execute the sidestep maneuver to land?

A

-As soon as possible after the runway environment is in sight and usually inside the FAF

32
Q

In a circling approach, when may the pilot descend from the MDA?

A

-With the runway in sight and in a position to execute a normal landing. Descend as necessary to place the aircraft on a normal glidepath for the intended runway

33
Q

When should the pilot execute a missed approach?

A

-When at the MAP/DA/DH and
runway/runway environment is not in sight
-Directed to do so by the controller
-Unable to make a safe landing

34
Q

When executing a missed approach, when can the pilot turn?

A

-When at least 400ft above the runway off the departure end (if in sight)

35
Q

How is the missed approach executed for a circling approach?

A

Pilot shall follow missed approach procedure for the runway to which the approach was flown
-If sight of the runway environment is lost while maneuvering, immediately execute a climbing turn towards the last known direction of the Landing Runway

36
Q

What climb gradient is required?

A

200ft/nm or the minimum published

37
Q

ICAO:When can the pilot consider himself on course?

A

-Within a half scale deflection for ILS and VOR/DME and 5 degrees for NDB

38
Q

ICAO: What course reversal methods are allowed for a procedure turn?

A

-45/180 and 80/260. NOT Holding method

39
Q

True or false: ICAO procedures must be flown as depicted.

A

True

40
Q

ICAO: What parameters are the bank angle procedures based on?

A

Average bank angle of 25 degrees or 3 degrees/sec, whichever is less

41
Q

ICAO: What is the maximum departure airspeed for Cat B aircraft?

A

-165 knots
