Q

What is the difference between Fail Passive & Fail Operational?

A

FAIL PASSIVE - in the event of a failure there is no deviation from flight path or attitude but the system can no longer operate

FAIL OPERATIONAL - System can still operate in the event of a failure but becomes a Fail Passive System

Q

What is the Approach Ban?

A

If RVR below the required before 1000ft - Must Go around

If RVR falls below the required after 1000ft - You can continue to Minimas until the decision height (as RVR become advisory)

If you do not see the required Visual reference at Decision Height, you must go around
