Instruments 2 Final Review Flashcards
When do you perform an instrument takeoff?
During periods of restricted visibility
What situations do you NOT execute the course reversal maneuver?
SNERT
Straight In NoPT routing Established in holding, cleared the approach, and holding course is same as procedure turn course Radar vectors to final Timed approach
During the ITO, rotate to approximately __ to __º
7-10º
Heading within 5º
When should you transition to instruments during an ITO?
At a rate outside references become unreliable.
What is an instrument departure?
Any IFR transition from takeoff to enroute structure
What are the 4 types of instrument departures?
DPs (SIDs or ODPs)
Diverse Departure (Past departure end of runway, 400’ AGL, then turn in any direction, maintain ≥200ft/nm)
Radar Vector
VFR departure/IFR pickup
What does the trouble T indicate?
Non standard takeoff minimums or
ODP for the airport
What changes if you are vectored off a Departure Procedure?
The SID is cancelled
How do changes in assigned altitude affect a DP?
Routing stays the same, comply with ATC instructions for altitude
What items must be read back to the controller?
All numbers
What is the inbound leg length for a hold at 14,000 MSL?
one minute
If you are inbound to a holding fix and within __º of two different entry patterns, either entry may be used.
5º, buffer zone in which either entry can be used
What are the 6 T’s?
Time Turn Torque Twist Track Talk
When do you slow down and to what airspeed for holding?
150 KIAS within 3 minutes
What are the 3 types of high altitude approaches?
Teardrop (DME or Non-DME)
Radial (Multiple Facility or Dead Reckoning)
Radial/Arc (Multiple Facility or Dead Reckoning)
What is the W-HOLDS check?
Weather Holding clearance Obtain approach Letdown plate review Descent check Speed as required
How much fly off is required when crossing the IAF at a lower altitude?
15 seconds per 1000 feet
For non-DME Teardrop approaches, what is the pitch and expected fpm descent?
8-10º nose low
2600-4000fpm
Just above idle
How is an enroute descent flown?
Pilot requested
Controller directed
Can descend and level off at any altitude, but cannot climb.
What is the formula for calculating VSI on a descent gradient?
DG = 100s of feet/distance(nm)
VSI= DG x (nm/min) x 100
What airspeed and descent rate should you use prior to configuring on a low altitude approach?
120-150 KIAS
500-2000 fpm
What are the two categories of low altitude approaches?
Course Reversals (Procedure turn, Holding in lieu) Procedure track
How is Glideslope Intercept defined on an approach plate?
Lightning Bolt
Glideslope intercept at prescribed altitude
How do you calculate the VDP?
VDP = HAT/GS
Gus wears a hat
When do you start looking outside on an approach?
Approach the VDP
OR
Approaching the cloud bases
When does the GPS switch to APP ARM and what is the CDI scale?
30nm from the terminal area
CDI +/-1.0 nm
When does the GPS switch to APCH ACTIVE mode?
2nm from the FAF
0.3 CDI
What changes when setting up the instruments for a LOC/BC approach?
Set the CDI to the front course
LOC/BC approaches will not have a glideslope
What are the airspeeds for downwind, base and final on a radar approach?
Downwind: 150-200
Base: 120-150
Final: 100-120
What bank angles should you use in the radar pattern?
Pattern: standard rate, not to exceed 30º
Final: Half standard rate
What will the controller give on an ASR approach?
Runway
Missed approach point
MDA
A PAR approach starts when the aircraft is in range of the precision radar and _________***
contact is established with the final controller***
From MDA/DA to landing, what is the approach airspeeds for flap configurations (IF VISUAL)?
110 UP
105 TO
100 LDG
If between the VDP and MAP and transitioning to land, what changes?
The aimpoint to farther down the runway
When do you descend from your circling altitude?
On a normal glidepath
What speed is the visual circling performed at during a circling approach?
120 KIAS
When circling, when should you roll out on final?
1/4 to 1/2 mile
What are climbout instructions? When are they issued?
Issued by the controller in lieu of the published missed approach.
Used when multiple practice approaches are conducted
When can you make the first turn when executing climbout instructions?
After departure end and at least 400’ AGL
Where do you find the format for a Clearance Change for Flight Plan change?
IFR Supplement Back Cover
Where can the max holding speeds be found?

FLIP GP Chapter 6
Departure with special routing is used when?
Noise Sensitive and High Traffic areas
What are the 3 minimum items in a hold clearance?
Fix
Direction
EFC
Where can more info be found regarding airport lighting?
