IPC REVISION Flashcards
Special Alternate Criteria
Aircraft has dual ILS/VOR approach capability; ie, with duplicated LOC, G/P, marker and VOR receivers.
NB: requirement for duplicated marker receivers may be satisfied by one marker receiver and DME.
Also two ADF systems, when an NDB is used for the ILS
*Not available when local METAR/ SPECI or forecasting services are not available, or an aerodrome control service is not provided
Approach Mins Lighting
Depending on the lighting on your approach you can reduce the Vis (however you need a coupled FD/AP with failure warning)
HIAL plus HIRL 0.8
HIAL only 1.2
HIRL only 1.8
Airspace Separation
Class A: clearance required, separation provided for all aircraft, no VFR allowed
Class C: IFR-IFR-VFR separation provided, clearance required
Class D: IFR- IFR-Spec VFR separation provided, VFR traffic only , clearance required

Maintains visual contact with the landing environment
AND
DAY OR NIGHT
within the circling area, can complete a continuous descent to the landing threshold using rates of descent and flight maneouvres which are normal for the aircraft type maintaining obstacle clearance
