Law Flashcards
Final Approach Speeds (Cat A)
70-100
What are the characteristics of runway centreline lights?
Must be white until 900m from runway end; Alternating white and red from 900m to 300m from runway end; Red from 300m to runway end
When does a SID terminate?
When established on cleared route.
Circling Distance (Cat A)
1.68
Max Speed on SID (Cat B)
165
Circling - Minimum Obstacle Clearance Provided (Cat C)
394ft
Outbound timing in a hold
1 minute if at 14,000ft or below, 1.5 minutes if above 14,000ft or until appropriate limiting distance is reached.
Angle of bank for missed approach turns:
Minimum of 15 degrees angle of bank is assumed
Initial Approach Speeds (Cat C)
160-240
Is it possible to hold at speeds faster than standard speed restrictions?
Yes, provided ATC are advised, subject to clearance (may result in increased minimum holding altitude).
When may an aircraft be issued a descent restriction on an approach prior to reporting visual reference?
Reporting or known cloud base is at least 1000ft above the altitude specified in the descent restriction; AND Visibility is equal to or greater than 8km; AND the reason for the descent restriction is passed onto the pilot.
Category II precision approach procedure
Precision instrument approach and landing with a DH lower than 200ft but not lower than 100ft, and a RVR not less than 350m.
Vat (Cat D)
141-165
Close in obstacles above departure end of runway may not be taken into account if the height is ___ ft/___m or less.
200ft/60m
Entry flown if entering a holding pattern on DME arc?
Sector 1 or 3
Part 121 how much of runway can be used by propeller powered aircraft?
A full stop landing on a dry runway from a point 50ft above threshold within 70% of the landing distance available at the destination aerodrome and at any alternate aerodrome for a propeller powered aerodrome.
Initial Approach Speeds (Cat A)
90-150 (110)
Category IIIC precision approach procedure
Precision instrument approach and landing with no DH and no RVR limitations.
Outbound timing for 45 degree procedure turn Cat A/B/C/D
1 minute for Cat A and B, 1 minute 15 seconds for Cat C, D
Holding speeds under normal conditions:
14,000ft and below: 230 knots (170 Cat A/B); Above 14,000ft up to 20,000ft: 240 knots; 20,000ft up to 34,000ft: 265 knots; Above 34,000ft: M0.83
Actions required if missed approach is initiated prior to MAPt:
Track to the missed approach point then follow the missed approach procedure. MAPt may be overflown above MDA.
When using evaluated climb sector for departure, what climb gradient is required and what is minimum turn altitude after take-off?
Climb gradient as required by departure for track being flown, 400ft.
What does minimum net climb gradient on an instrument departure ensure? What don’t they ensure?
Provide terrain and obstacle clearance, but do not ensure flight is contained within controlled airspace (except dedicated RADAR SID).
Max Speed on SID (Cat C)
265
Max Speed Missed Approach (Cat A)
110
Maximum speed circling (Cat D)
205
Vat (Cat A)
<91
Final Approach Speeds (Cat D)
130-185
If adequate terrain clearance cannot be obtained in IMC on a departure, in the event of an engine failure prior to MSA, what action is required?
Turn toward departure aid until either MSA is reached or approval is granted to rejoin for approach and landing (considering terrain over which reversal will need to be completed).
Part 135
Air operations, excluding SEIFR pax operations, using an aeroplane that has 9 seats or less, excluding any required crew member seat, and a MCTOW of 5700kg or less, or using a helicopter
Requirements to be cleared a visual approach/arrival
Pilot states ‘request visual approach’; AND can maintain visual reference to the terrain; AND reported ceiling is not below the approved initial approach level for the aircraft so cleared (or if at initial approach or during instrument approach provided met conditions permit a visual approach). For visual approach at night, pilot must have runway lights in sight, ABN, REIL and ALS is not sufficient.
Requirement for overflying terrestrial nav aids on departure.
Aircraft must fly over nav aid unless otherwise instructed, FMS must be coded appropriate to ensure this.
