Limitations On Approaches

Question 1

What is the speed tolerance on climb/Crz/descent?

Answer 1

+-10kts

Question 2

What is the speed tolerance on short final?

Answer 2

Vref+additives +10/-0kts

Question 3

Following an engine failure, what is the speed tolerance in the second segment?

Answer 3

V2 to V2+5

Question 4

What is the min and Max circling speed?

Answer 4

Greater of 120 or Vref+10

135kts

Question 5

What is the speed range for a stable approach? What altitude do you need to be stable by?
What is the min configured speed?

Answer 5

Vref to Vref+25
1000HAT runway aligned in IMC or 500HAT for all other inc visual approaches
Min greater of Vref+10 or 120 until 1000ft HAT

Question 6

What are the altitude tolerances?

Answer 6

Crz +-100ft

min +100,-0

Question 7

What are the tracking tolerances for an approach? What should the PM call if PF outside tolerance?

Answer 7

NDB +-5 degrees
ILS LOC VOR 1/2 scale CDI deflection
“tracking”

Question 8

What is the glide slope tolerance? What is the PM call if exceeded?

Answer 8

1/2 scale

“Slope”

Question 9

What is the rate of decent tolerance? What is the PM call if it’s exceeded?

Answer 9

If below 1000AGL not >1000FPM
Within 1000ft of selected altitude in manual flight, not >2000FPM
“Sink rate”

Question 10

if ROC falls to below 500FPM in second segment, what should the PM call?

Answer 10

Climb rate

Question 11

During take-off and approach, when must PM “positively monitor” Flight instruments?

Answer 11

Below 500ft AGL

Question 12

What are the min V1 speeds?

Answer 12

79 for a 200

81 for a 300

Question 13

What is the minimum climb speed in icing conditions?

Answer 13

Vbg + 15

Question 14

What does the “Position uncertain” message on the FMS mean?

Answer 14

The ANP exceeds the RNP.

Manually set a higher RNP of able given the airspace. Max RNP is 4 for oceanic airspace.

Question 15

In all phases of flight except SE climb or just prior to touch down, what is the minimum speed?

Answer 15

1.3 VS

Question 16

What is the min clean airspeed? When does the speed not apply?

Answer 16

145kias

Doesn’t apply during climb or surveillance (min 1.5vs)

Question 17

What is the minimum speed in icing conditions?

Answer 17

150 in a 200

160 in a 300

Question 18

What should pilots to if they encounter severe turbulence?

Answer 18

Fasten belts on
Ignition manual
AP in pitch mode
Max speed 180 for a 200 and 190 for a 300

Question 19

What should pilots do if severe ice is encountered

Answer 19

Disengage autopilot 
condition levers Max 
power levers to Max continuous power 
maintain above the min speeds (150/160) 
Exit icing conditions

Question 20

When operating in areas of bird Hazard, what actions are recommend for pilots to take?

Answer 20

Max speed 160
Pulse lights on
Open by pass doors
