Visual Approaches Day:
- Clear of cloud
- continuous visual reference to the ground or water
- visibility > 5km or aerodrome is in sight
- within 30nm
Visual Approaches Night:
• Clear of cloud • continuous visual reference to the ground or water • visibility > 5km Within any of the following circling area
Visual Approaches Night PAPI/VASIS:
5nm if aligned with the runway centreline and established not below ‘on slope’ on the T-VASIS or PAPI; 7nm ILS
Visual Approaches Night GP
10nm if established not below the ILS glide path with less than full scale azimuth deflection, 14nm for 16L & 34L YSSY
Tracking requirements (IFR):
By day
5nm of the aerodrome
By night
within the circling area and the aerodrome in sight
A missed approach must be executed if:
- during the final segment of an instrument approach, the aircraft is not maintained within the applicable navigation tolerance for the aid in use; or
- during an instrument approach and below MSA the performance of the radio aid becomes suspect, or the radio aid fails; or
- visual reference is not established at or before reaching the MAPT or DA/RH from which the missed approach procedure commences; or
- a landing cannot be effected from a runway approach, unless a circling approach can be conducted in weather conditions equal to or better than those specified for circling; or
- visual reference is lost while circling to land from an instrument approach.
A missed approach is required for any of the following messages if using FMS based approaches
XTE alert Position uncertainty: FMC NAV ADIRU INERTIAL NAV UNABLE RNP VERIFY POSITION (FMC scratchpad) As long as ANP remains equal to or less than RNP, the approach may be continued with EICAS GPS.
