Instrument Maneuvers

Question 1

Vertical S-1 Pattern

Answer 1

150 KIAS, any numbered heading, 1000 FPM climbs and descents

1. 3 Second lead, 15% TQ, 2^o NL (L/U)
2. 3 seconds or 50’; 55% TQ, 4^o NH (R/D)
3. 3 seconds or 50’; 15% TQ, 2^o NL (L/U)
4. 3 seconds or 50’; 55% TQ, 4^o NH (R/D)
5. 50’ Prior, set torque for 150 KIAS and level off

Every 250’ check for 15 seconds of elapsed time.

Last 250’ is always for determining weather to transition on altitude or time.

Question 2

GCA Maneuver

Answer 2

1. 200 KIAS on clean cardinal heading and base altitude
2. SRT for 90 degrees of heading change
3. TQ 10-25%, Slow to 150 KIAS (R/U)
4. SRT for 90 degrees
5. Basic Approach Config: TQ 10-25%, Below 150 Lower GR, Flaps T/O, BLC, 120 KIAS, 31%
6. 24% TQ, 120 KIAS, 600 FPM descent
7. After 2000’ execute missed approach: PCL-MAX, 10-15 degrees NH, 2 positive rates gear/flaps up, climb out 8 to 10 degrees NH for 2000’

Question 3

Approach Pattern

Answer 3

1. 200 KIAS S&L
2. 20% TQ, Slow to 150 KIAS
3. SRT right for 90 degrees
4. Time 2 minutes and descend for 1000’, 15% TQ (1000 FPM)
5. Level off at 150 KIAS
6. End of 2 minutes, turn left for 210 degrees
7. Descending transition to BAC, 15% TQ, below 150 GR, Flaps T/O, 120 KIAS, descend for 1000’
8. 120 KIAS level off 35% TQ
9. Reset 2 minutes
10. 1000 FPM descent for 1000’, 15% TQ
11. Level off 120 KIAS, 35% TQ
12. End of 2 minutes execute missed approach
13. 180 KIAS, 8-10 NH, for 2000’
14. 200’ prior, level off, 200 KIAS
