Jeppesen - Terminal Flashcards
Standard holding pattern direction
Right hand turns
Holding speed limits up to FL140
230kts
or 170 for holding where the approach is limited to Cat A and B aircraft only
Holding speed limits above FL140 & up to FL200
240kts
Holding speed limits above FL200
265kts
Holding pattern outbound timing commences
abeam the fix or attaining the outbound heading, which ever comes later
Max time and distance of outbound holding leg
1 minute up to and including FL140
1.5 minutes above FL140
Holding pattern turns
bank angles of 25 degrees or rate one, which ever requires the lesser bank
Do you allow for wind in a hold?
Yes. Allow in both heading and timing
Sector entry 1 is called a..
Parallel Entry. Overly the fix, turn onto an outbound heading (the reciprocal of the inbound holding track) for the appropriate time. Then turn towards the hold to intercept the inbound track.
Sector entry 2 is called a..
Offset entry. Reaching the holding fix, the aircraft is turned onto a heading to make good a track making an angle 30 degrees from the reciprocal of the inbound track on the holding side.
Sector 3 entry is called a..
Direct Entry. On reaching the holding fix, the aircraft is tuned to follow the holding pattern.
What is a SID?
A preplanned IFR departure route.
What is the purpose of a SID?
a) Noise abatement
b) Airspace segregation for ATC purposes
c) Obstacle clearance
d) Maximum traffic flexibility
Do SID account for engine failures?
No
Wind allowance during a SID
Allow for wind where tracks have been specified.
Do not allow for wind when radar vectored
Speed requirements for jets
Must accelerate to 250kts IAS no later than 3000’ and maintain 250kts until leaving 10,000’ AMSL
SID obstacle clearance is what gradient and why?
3.3%
2.5% gradient to clear obstacles
plus .8% increasing obstacle clearance from zero at the DER
When do circling restrictions apply?
Day time in conditions less than VMC
Night time
Obstacle clearance provided by MSA
Both 25 and 10 NM MSA’s provide 1000’ clearance
Special rules if the 25NM MSA is lower than the 10NM MSA (usually the 25NM MSA will be broken into sectors)
You can use the lower MSA provided that the aircraft remains within the sector
When can you descend below a LSALT or MSA during an approach?
Not until the aircraft has arrived over the IAF
Unless;
Complying with a visual approach
When conforming to a published DME or GPS arrival procedure
When identified and assigned an altitude by ATC
Cat B Range of speeds for initial and intermediate approach
120 - 180kts
*140 max for reversal procedures
Cat B range of final approach speeds
85 - 130 kts
Cat B maximum speed for visual circling
135kts
