Instrument Rating Flashcards
What are the AUS Visual approach requirements?
By Day: A/C within 30nm
Continuous visual ref to ground or water
Vis not less then 5km OR the aerodrome in sight
By Night: Same as by day but:
Receiving an ATS surveillance service, the flight has been assigned the MVA and given heading or tracking instructions to intercept final or to position the A/C within the circling area.
TRACKING REQ’s-
Maintain track/HDG enroute authorised by ATC until-
BY DAY- Within 5nm
BY NIGHT- Within the circling area
MINIMUM ALTITUDE-
BY DAY- Not less then 500ft ABV lowest limit of CTA
BY NIGHT- LSALT/MSA or 500ft ABV lowest limit of CTA until:
Within the circling area and aerodrome in sight. OR
5nm established on VASIS or PAPI
7nm established on VASIS or PAPI for an aerodrome equipped with an ILS
10nm established on ILS
14nm for RWY 16L / 34L
CAT C Aircraft speeds
Vat- 121-140 Initial App- 160-240 Final App- 115-160 Circling (Max)- 180 Missed App (Max)- 240
S/E LVL FLIGHT FLAP 5 GEAR UP thrust setting?
.75% & 6’ Pitch Att
S/E FLAP 15 GEAR DOWN descending thrust setting?
70% & 2.5’ PITCH ATT
Talk me through a circling approach
Be configured gear down flap 15’
At ALT hold set missed approach altitude
Turn 45’. Start timing when wings level or through the centreline (30sec)
At time track the reciprocal rwy track
Abeam start timing/ Flap 25
10sec- Flap 40 landing checks
25sec- Turn base start vs down 63% 0’ND
When triangle line thing hits the extended centreline turn final
Established final disconnect A/P & A/T reset the flight directors
1 Eng Go Around?
EASE up the power
SQUEEZE in some rudder
12.5 DEGREES pitch up to
“GO AROUND FLAP 1”
“Positive rate”
“GEAR UP, CHECK THRUST”
“Thrust checked”
“Flap retraction altitude”
“SET FLAPS UP SPEED”
“FLAP UP”
“LVL CHANGE, SET MCT”
(Autopilot in)
AFTER TAKE OFF CHECKLIST!
Configure for a OEI Approach?
Select F 1/Bug F1 at approx 3 nm to run to G/S
Select F 5/Bug F5 straight after F1 is set
Select Gear Down/F15 at 1⁄2 dot under G/S
Power should be smoothly reduced from 75%, back to 70%
When must you conduct a missed approach?
V - Visual reference is not established by the MAPT/ DA.
L - Lose visual reference while circling to land.
A - A landing cannot be made unless a circuit can be made in weather conditions equal too or better then those specified for circling.
D - During an instrument approach and below MSA a radio aid becomes suspect or fails.
O - Out of tolerance in the final segment of approach for the nav aid in use.
NDB App tolerances
Established means- +/- 5’degress
Flap 40 Fully configured descending thrust and pitch ATT?
63% / 0 degrees ATT
Descent below MDA?
-Within the prescribed circling area
-Visibility not less then that specified on the approach chart
-Maintain visual contact with-
Landing RWY
Approach lights
Markings identifiable with the approach end of the RWY
BY DAY-
With visual reference to the ground or water may descend as required to maintain terrain separation shown on the approach chart.
BY NIGHT-
Not until A/C has intercepted it’s normal approach gradient
Descent below LSALT?
R - Radar vectored I - Instrument Approach G - DME/GPS Arrival C - Circling App/ Climbing to CRZ Altitude V- VMC by day
What is the obstacle clearance and circling radius for a CAT C Aircraft?
394’
4.2nm
LLZ / ILS Tolerances?
1/2 scale deflection
Past FAF full scale on ILS
DME Arc tolerance?
+/-2nm
