Instruments

Question 1

F.A.C.T.S

Answer 1

F - Fixes
A - Altitudes
C - Courses
T - Timing
S - Special Notices

Question 2

Six Ts

Answer 2

T - Time 
T - Turn, to intercept the course
T - Throttles
T - Twist, set the appropriate heading and course for an approach
T - Track, an intercept heading
T - Talk, call the IAF

Question 3

W.H.O.L.D.S

Answer 3

W - Weather
H - Holding Instructions
O - Obtain Clearance
L - Letdown Plate Review
D - Descent check
S - Set altimeter and speeds

Question 4

Maximum Range Descent in T-1

Answer 4

IDLE, 230 KIAS, 3*

Question 5

Simple Descent

Answer 5

IDLE, 250, 5*

Question 6

When a Procedure Turn or HILO while not be flown. S.N.E.R.T

Answer 6

S - Straight-In
N - No PT course
E - Established in Holding
R - ATC provides radar vectors
T - ATC clears you for a times approach

Question 7

Single Engine Approach

Answer 7

10* Flaps, unless landing distance is critical. If 30* Flaps are used, lower them no later than 250 ft AGL. Single Engine go around with 30* Flaps are not possible.

Question 8

GPS Scale on Approaches:

1. Enroute to Terminal (30 NM from arrival base)
2. Terminal to Approach (2 NM from FAF)

Answer 8

1. 5 NM to 1 NM “GPS TERM”

2. 1 NM to 0.3 NM, “DEV CHG” then “GPS APPR” at or past FAF

Question 9

How do you execute missed approach on a GPS approach?

Answer 9

Manually press the Go-Around bottom on the throttles.

Question 10

Non-precision approach decent rate?

Answer 10

800-1,000 ft/min

Question 11

ICAO Procedures:

1. Maximum AOB?
2. Low Altitude Approaches? (4 of them)
3. Definition of Transition Level
4. Definition of Transition Altitude
5. Definition of Transition Layer

Answer 11

1. 25* or standard rate, whichever is less
2. 45/180 Procedure Turn, 80/260 Procedure Turn, Racetrack, and Base Turn.
3. Lowest available Flight level for use above the transition altitude (Depicted as TL FL100)
4. The altitude at or below which the position of the aircraft is measured in reference to SL (@ U.S TA=180, Depicted as TA 9000)
5. Layer between TA and TL

Question 12

Circling Parameters for each Class

Answer 12

Cat. A - Less than 90 kts, 1.3 NM circling radius
Cat. B - 91-120 kts, 1.5 NM circling radius
Cat. C - 121-140 kts, 1.7 NM circling radius
Cat. D - 141-265 kts, 2.3 NM circling radius
Cat. E - 266 kts or more, 4.5 NM circling radius

Question 13

Three conditions when you must execute a missed approach?

Answer 13

1. Runway environment is not in sight.
2. You are unable to make a safe landing.
3. You are directed to do so.

Question 14

What is a duck-under?

Answer 14

An approach maneuver that causes high sink rates and poor thrust/lift relationships. Can cause undershoots or hard landings.
