Q

What are the 5 categories of fog?

A
  1. Radiation (shallow. Usually occurs at night. Cool ground cools the air above it. More likely if rain on the ground at night)
  2. Precipitation Induced Fog (warm air or drizzle falls through cool air. Can be extensive. Common with warm fronts. Critical issue as associated with icing and thunderstorms
  3. Advection Fog (warm moist air moves over ground or water. Can move rapidly)
  4. ice fog (below freezing - usually below minus 20. Can be blinding when flying into the sun)
  5. Upslope fog (result of moist stable air moving up terrain. Can form high altitudes)

Q

LVO key definitions

A
  1. Decision height - wheel height above the runway elevation. DH below must be based on reference to a RAD ALT
  2. ILS Critical Area. Dimensions around the localiser and glide path antennae where vehicles / aircraft are excluded during all ILS operations.
  3. ILS Sensitive Area. Dimensions beyond the critical area where parking and movement of vehicles / aircraft are controlled to prevent ILS interference
  4. Alert Height. Height above which an approach must be discontinued in the event of fail or failures of a fail operational system or RVR below minimums or visual reference not established
  5. Cat 2
    a) ILS DH between 200-100 feet
    b) RVR 300m
  6. CAT3A
    a) ILS DH 50-100 feet
    b) RVR 200m
  7. CAT3B
    a) ILS DH 0-50 feet
    b) RVR - 75m
  8. FAIL OPERATIONAL
    a) failure below alert height - flare and landing can be completed automatically
  9. FAIL PASSIVE
    a) if autoland system fails - it will disengage. Landing done manually or go around if do not have the required references
  10. APPROACH BAN point
    a) approach cannot be continued below 1000 AAL unless meet required RVR

Q

RVR measurements - three zones

A
  1. Touchdown (controlling)
  2. Mid Point
  3. Stop End
18
Q

LVO Take off. LVO minimum and jet2 minimum

A
  1. LVO Take off - RVR less than 400m
  2. With required lights and LVP - RVR less than 150m
  3. J2 has approval for RVR NO LESS THAN 125m
19
Q

When must a captain do the take off in LVO?

A

When the RVR is less than 400m

20
Q

Factors to take into account at planning stage with LVOs

A
  1. Take off delays at departure airport (due to backlog of departing and arriving aircraft)
  2. Approach delays (including holds at low altitudes)
  3. Increments for use of anti ice and use of APU
  4. Allow a minimum of 30 mins taxi fuel for departure and 30 mins holding fuel for arrival
21
Q

When will a take off ban apply?

A
  1. Any reported RVR below the RVR requirement for take off
  2. Visibility from flight deck below 90m
  3. Cloud ceiling below limits
  4. Unable to distinguish runway from its surroundings
22
Q

If the RVR is reported as 125 - 100 - 150

Can you take off?

A

No

125m would be required in all three sections

23
Q

If the TDZ RVR is inoperable and the remaining RVR is

XXX - 125 - 150

Can you take off

A

Yes. TDZ RVR value is replaced by pilot assessment for take off

24
Q

Where can you find information on Approach Bans

A

Operations Manual part A

25
Q

Cat 1 / NPA / APV - visual references (at least one) required at DH / MDH

A
  1. Events of the approach lighting system
  2. The threshold
  3. Threshold markings / lights/ID lights
  4. Visual glideslope indicator
  5. Touch down zone markings / lights
  6. Runway edge lights
26
Q

Cat 2- visual references required

A

3 consecutive lights are attained and can be maintained (any combo of):

  1. Centre line of the approach lights
  2. Touch zone lights
  3. Runway centre line lights
  4. Runway edge lights

Note: the visual reference must include a lateral element of the ground pattern, fan approach lighting crossbar or landing threshold or touchdown zone barrette

27
Q

Cat 3A - visual references required

A

3 consecutive lights are attained and can be maintained (any combination of)

  1. Centre line of the approach lights
  2. Touchdown zone lights
  3. Runway centre line lights
  4. Runway edge lights

NOTE: difference with Cat 2 is that CAT3A does NOT require a lateral element

28
Q

Cat 3B - visual reference required (with DH and without DH

A

With DH, “at least one centreline light is attained and can be maintained by the pilot”

Without DH, no visual reference required

29
Q

Can a reversion to a lower category approach be made if the required minima are available?

A

Yes

30
Q

When arming approach - what does the “LOC” pb and “APPR” pb do?

A

LOC - Arms loc for FMGS capture

APPR- Arms loc mode for FMGS automatic capture and arms G/S mode for FMGS automatic capture

31
Q

Non precision approach FMAs

A

TBC

32
Q

Autoland FMA sequence

A
  1. 40 feet RA- FLARE and THR IDLE
  2. 30 feet - AP/FD aligns with centreline
  3. 10 feet - audio command to RETARD thrust
  4. at touch down - ROLL OUT
33
Q

An automatic landing is permitted if:

A
  1. CONF 3 or FULL
  2. CAT 2 or better annunciated on FMA
  3. G/S angle within 2.5 - 3.15 degrees
  4. Airfield Elevation not above 2500fy
  5. VAPP (VLS plus 1/3 headwind and VLS plus plus 5)
  6. Runway not contaminated
  7. Autoland wind limits
34
Q

CAT 2 and 3 Approaches

A
  1. Minimum equipments to fly a precision approach = ILS
  2. The minimum equipments to fly an automatic approach = ILS plus A/P
  3. The minimum equipment to fly an automatic approach and landing = ILS plus A/P plus auto land capability
35
Q

What does FMA “FAIL PASSIVE CAT 3 SINGLE” mean?

A

A single failure will lead to the AP disconnection without any significant out of trim condition or deviation of the flight path or attitude. Manual flight is required. The minimum DH is 50 ft

36
Q

What does “FAIL OPERATIONAL CAT 3 DUAL”

A

CAT 3 Is announced when the airborne systems are “fail operational”. In case of single failure, the AP will continue to guide the aircraft on the flight and the automatic landing system will operate as fail-passive

In the event of a failure below the AH, the approach, flare and landing can be completed by the remaining part of the automatic system

In that case, no capability degradation is indicated. Such a redundancy allows CAT 3 operations with our without DH

37
Q

Alert height

A
  1. Relevant to CAT 3 DUAL
  2. Alert height is 100ft RA
38
Q

Failure and Associated actions below 1000ft

A

Go around for Amber caution or landing capability downgrade

39
Q

Following an engine failure - any automatic landing is approved if?

A
  1. All engine failure procedures completed by 100 ft ARTE
  2. Config full is used

Due to failure, the lowest permissible approach is CAT3A or better:

A) DH 50 feet
B) RVR 200m

40
Q

When do you get a red AUTO LAND warning?

A
  1. Both APs off
  2. Excessive LOC OR G/S deviation
  3. LOC OR G/S signal lost
  4. difference between 2 RAs - 15 feet
