20
Q

According to 91.175 (c) what 3 requirements must be met to operate under the DA or MDA?

A
  1. Remain in a continuous position to land
  2. Must have required visibility for the approach
  3. Must have the runway environment in sight (1 of 10 things)
21
Q

What can you expect to see when Holding over a VOR?

A

TO/FR flag flip when going from inbound/outbound legs!

22
Q

What are the 5 T’s of Holding?

A

Throttle (adjust for 100 knots - 3 mins from fix)
Turn
Talk (Established in the hold)
Time (usually VOR hold)
Twist (Heading bug - inbound/outbound courses)
~Track~

23
Q

What are the 3 different entries you can make into a Hold?

A

Parallel

Direct
Teardrop

24
Q

Explain how you would adjust for flying a holding pattern with wind?

A

x3 Rule

  • WCA on the inbound leg is tripled for the outbound leg
  • Goal is to get 1 min for the inbound leg!
25
Q

What is the maximum Holding speed below 6000’?

A

200 KIAS!

26
Q

When do you go missed during a Precision Approach?

A

When you’ve reached minimums and the runway is not in sight

27
Q

When do you go missed during a Non-Precision Approach?

A
  • At the VDP, maintain minimums if the runway is not in sight and go missed and the MAP
28
Q

What direction do you turn to intercept the inbound course when executing a teardrop entry into a standard hold?

A

RIGHT
