IR | Approach Ban, RVSM and Semi Circular Rule, Stabilised Approach

Question 1

Non-precision approach:

The approach shall not be continued below _____ft above the aerodrome, unless the reported RVR or visibility for the runway or touch-down are is equal to, or better than, the applicable operating minima.

Answer 1

The approach shall not be continued below 1000ft above the aerodrome, unless the reported RVR or visibility for the runway or touch-down are is equal to, or better than, the applicable operating minima.

Question 1

IF the questions refers to ILS procedure:

if the information received by the crew contain parameters below the crew’s operational minimums, the point beyond which the approach must not be continued is the ? or equivalent, or ? above the aerodrome.

Answer 1

Outer marker

1 000ft

Question 2

IF the question refers to “Precision Approach”, the following applies:

The approach shall not be continued beyond the ? or equivalent(OM for ILS) published position, unless the reported ?/? for the runway or touch-down area is equal to, or better than, the applicable operating minima.

Answer 2

FAF

RVR/Vis

Question 3

5 REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUM (RVSM)
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) refers to vertical separation of aircraft by _____ ft above Flight Level (FL) ___. Only State RVSM approved aircraft, will be permitted to operate in RVSM airspace within the South African Area of Responsibility (FAJA, FACA and FAJO FIRs).

Answer 3

5 REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUM (RVSM)
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) refers to vertical separation of aircraft by 1000 ft above Flight Level (FL) 290. Only State RVSM approved aircraft, will be permitted to operate in RVSM airspace within the South African Area of Responsibility (FAJA, FACA and FAJO FIRs).

Question 4

Operators are to note that with the implementation of RVSM, FL 420 is no longer regarded as a valid Flight Level. The next available Flight Level will be FL ___

Answer 4

Operators are to note that with the implementation of RVSM, FL 420 is no longer regarded as a valid Flight Level. The next available Flight Level will be FL 430.

Question 4

Above FL410 vertical separation is increased to -

Answer 4

2 000ft for aircraft on opposing track and 4 000ft on roughly the same track

Question 5

The normal semi-circular sequence is broke from -

At the new sequence is as follows:

For west tracks:
For east tracks:

Answer 5

FL 400 for west flights and FL410 for east flights

For west tracks: FL430, FL470, FL510
For east tracks: FL450, FL490, FL530

Question 6

Except where RVSM applies, ICAO specifies the minimum vertical separation as follows:

Answer 6

1000ft below FL290

2000ft above FL290

Question 7

RVSM and vertical separation:

Between FL210 and FL280, the airspace is class A and vertical separation at least _____ft

Between FL290 and FL410 the airspace is Class A ____ and vertical separation at least ______ft.

Above FL410 vertical separation is ______ft for aircraft of opposing tracks and _______ft for aircraft on roughly the same track.

FL430 and FL450 is class A airspace and vertical separation at least _____ft

From FL470 the airspace is class G and vertical separation at least ______ft.

Answer 7

RVSM and vertical separation:

Between FL210 and FL280, the airspace is class A and vertical separation at least 1000ft

Between FL290 and FL410 the airspace is Class A RVSM and vertical separation at least 1 000ft.

Above FL410 vertical separation is 2 000ft for aircraft of opposing tracks and 4 000ft for aircraft on roughly the same track.

FL430 and FL450 is class A airspace and vertical separation at least 2 000ft

From FL470 the airspace is class G and vertical separation at least 2 000ft.

Question 8

The definition of CAVOK is:

• Visibility -
• No cloud below -
• No CB or TCU below -

Answer 8

The definition of CAVOK is:

• Visibility 10km or more
• No cloud below 5000 feet or Minimum Sector Altitude (MSA) (whichever is the greater)
• No CB or TCU below 5000 feet or Minimum Sector Altitude (MSA) (whichever is the greater)
• No significant weather at or in the vicinity of the aerodrome

Question 9

The definition of CAVOK is:

• Visibility 10km or more
• No cloud below 5000 feet or Minimum Sector Altitude (MSA) (whichever is the greater)
• No CB or TCU below 5000 feet or Minimum Sector Altitude (MSA) (whichever is the greater)
• No significant weather at or in the vicinity of the aerodrome
