26
Q

Name the parts of an approach

A

-initial segment -intermediate segment -procedure turn -final segment -missed approach point -missed approach segment

27
Q

Initial segment

A

The segment of an instrument approach between the initial approach fix and the intermediate approach fix. The AC departs the en route phase of flight and enters the intermediate segment of flight

28
Q

Intermediate approach segment

A

The segment of an instrument approach between the intermediate fix and final approach fix in which the AC configuration, speed, and positioning adjustments are made

29
Q

Procedure turn

A

A manoeuvre in which a turn is made away from a designated track and then back toward it to permit the AC to intercept and proceed along the reciprocal of the designated track

30
Q

Final segment

A

The part of an instrument approach procedure from when the AC: completes the last procedure turn, crosses the final approach fix, or intercepts the last track specified until the AC reaches the missed approach point. -during which the alignment and descent for landing are accomplished

31
Q

MAP

A

Missed Approach Point -the point at which the pilot will make the decision to land or abort the landing based on decision height or minimum descent altitude

32
Q

Missed approach segment

A

The part of an instrument approach procedure between the missed approach fix and the specified missed approach navaid.

33
Q

How long does it take to complete and instrument approach procedure?

A

About 8 minutes

34
Q

How long do ATC usually allow for the entire instrument approach procedure?

A

Ten minutes

35
Q

Time for going from outbound from the approach facility to the start of a procedure turn

A

One minute

36
Q

Time for the procedure turn

A

Three minutes

37
Q

Time from the inbound from procedure turn to the approach facility

A

Two minutes

38
Q

Time from the approach facility to the runway threshold

A

Two minutes

39
Q

DH

A

Decision Height
Used with a precision approach
Landing minima are usually lower than in a non precision approach

40
Q

MDA

A

Minimum Descent Height

Used with a non precision approach

41
Q

SID

A

Standard Instrument Departure

Eases the controller’s workload and tells the pilot what to do in the event of a communications failure

42
Q

STAR

A

STandard Arrival Route
A chart the pilot follows when approaching the airport.
ATC assigns a STAR which limits the amount of communication needed

43
Q

RNAV

A

Area navigation

  • the method of navigation which permits AC operation on any desired flight path within the coverage of station referenced navaids or within the capability of self contained navaids or a combination of these
  • AC does not have to fly two or from navaids, it can process info from inside or outside of the AC to determine its position
44
Q

What are the five types of RNAV?

A

INS -VOR/DME -DMEDME -LORANC -GPS

45
Q

INS

A

Inertial Navigation System
A system contained in the AC using spinning gyros that are set prior to flight and accelerometers measure movement to calculate position

46
Q

VOR/DME

A

(RHO-THETA)
Is dependant on ground based navaids and uses DME arcs and VOR radials to determine its position which is plotted on an on board computer

47
Q

DME-DME

A

(RHO-RHO)

Is dependant on ground based navaids and uses DME arcs to plot its position which is shown on an on board computer

48
Q

LORAN-C

A

A low frequency signal from ground based stations from which an on board computer calculates the position. Is not limited to line of sight but is subject to interference

49
Q

GPS

A

A very accurate, inexpensive system that obtains information from a series of satellites and converts that to a position plotted on an on board computer. Is not dependant on ground based navaids

50
Q

List the three components of a GPS

A

Space component -control component -user component

51
Q

GPS-user component

A

Consists of the GPS receiver/antenna and it’s associated antennas. It looks for and selects the four best positioned satellites and uses the range to them to find it’s position

52
Q

RAIM

A

Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring
-uses signals from five or more satellites and compares them to detect any errors and uses four that is determined accurate for GPS

53
Q

GPS- control component

A

Designed to ensure and maintain accuracy of satellite signals. There are stations located world wide that send information to the master station in Colorado Springs which analyzes the information and, if necessary, send corrective signals

54
Q

GPS-control component

A

24 NAVSTAR satellites orbiting the earth in six different planes that are each inclined 55 degrees. From any point on the earth, at any time of day, four satellites are in view.

55
Q

WAAS

A

Wide Area Augmentation System

56
Q

LAAS

A

Local Area Augmentation System

57
Q

What are the two classes of GPS services?

A

SPS (standard positioning service) and PPS (precision positioning service

58
Q

SPS

A

Standard Positioning Service -for civilian use and only provides lateral deviation via course deviation indicator (CDI)

59
Q

PPS

A

Precision Positioning Service. -used by the military, provides both lateral and vertical direction via vertical deviation indicator (VDI) and course deviation indicator (CDI)

60
Q

RNAV SID

A

A procedure that lays out lateral guidance right to the en route instead of depending on vectors to the en route, making it very precise and efficient.

61
Q

How is a GPS approach different from an ILS or NDB approach?

A

There is typically no procedure turn during a GPS approach, its more like a T pattern.

62
Q

RNAV STAR

A

A procedure that lays out a lateral path, altitudes and speeds for an AC to manoeuvre from the en route to where an approach can be made. This approach will not have a procedure turn.

63
Q

Open RNAV STAR

A

This requires the AC to be vectored to the final, but if clearance is not received by the time they reach the downwind termination waypoint (DTW), they carry on waiting for vectors.

64
Q

What are the two types of RNAV STAR?

A

Open and closed
