Jeppesen Flashcards
Define: aerodrome elevation
The elevation of the highest point of the landing area.
Define: minimum fuel
Little or no delay can be accepted. NOT an emergency.
Typical GPS accuracy
100m
MORA minimum obstacle clearance
Where elevation 5000ftAMSL or lower, 1000ft. Where elevation 5001ftAMSL+, 2000ft.
What does RNP refer to?
Navigation position accuracy in NM for 95% of the flight time. It is performance based and not dependent on specific equipment.
High speed taxiway maximum speed
60kts
Final approach commencement/end
FAF, last turn onto final, or point of interception with last specified track of approach. Ends with landing or commencement of a missed approach.
ILS CAT I minima
DH: 200ft+
Visibility: 800m or RVR: 550m
ILS CAT II minima
DH: 100-200ft
RVR: 300m
ILS CAT IIIA minima
DH: 50-100ft
RVR: 175m
ILS CAT IIIB minima
DH: 0-50ft
RVR: 50-175m
ILS CAT IIIC minima
No DH
No RVR
Conducting an ILS approach with an associated NDB failure
Must join the ILS outside of the OM.

Blowing
Define: moderate turbulence
Aircraft remains in positive control Moderate changes in attitude/airspeed/altitude Difficulty walking Strain against seatbelts Loose objects move about
Define: severe turbulence
Aircraft may be temporarily out of control
Abrupt/large changes in attitude/airspeed/altitude
Forced against seatbelts
Loose objects are tossed about
Navigation specification - RNP vs RNVAV
Both are types of area navigation, however RNP requires on board performance monitoring and alerting
Airspace speed limitations
Below 10’000ft: 250kts
Below 2500ftAGL within 4NM of a Class D aerodrome: 200kts
RPT lighting requirements (aerodrome)
Runway edge, threshold, obstacles, taxiway, apron, wind sock (may be unavailable if an approved observer can give wind velocity)
Temperature corrections
The colder it is, the lower you are than indicated. Therefore, we add 4% of the height we wish to maintain, for every 10 degrees colder than ISA.
IFR alternate minima
Whenever there is an unavailable or provisional forecast.
Whatever is published on the approach chart, or where there is no approach, LSALT +500ft for last route segment and 8km visibility.
IFR radio aid requirements
2 independent systems for an aid, or systems for 2 separate aids.
If no instrument approach, LSALT +500ft for last route segment and 8km visibility.
