29
Q

What are the controlling RVR for an approach?

A

The TDZ RVR is always controlling.
If reported and relevant, the midpoint and stop-end RVR are also controlling.

30
Q

What are manual ROLLOUT requirements for Autoland (4)?

A
  • Published TDZ RVR.
  • Midpoint RVR 125m.
  • Stop-end RVR 75m.
  • AP disconnect on nose wheel touchdown.
31
Q

What are the taxi requirements during LVP?

A

No OETD and no checks whilst moving.
OETA allowed but without SETWA.

32
Q

What are the protected distance and angles from the RWY for an ILS?

A
  • 10° up to 25 nm
  • 35° up to 17 nm
33
Q

What is the difference between LVP and LVO?

A

LVP refers to the airport.
LVO refers to the airline.

34
Q

What is the definition of MIST?

A

Affected visibility by water droplets, but > 1,000 meters.

35
Q

What is the definition of HAZE?

A

Affected visibility by solid particles, but > 1,000 meters.

36
Q

What is the definition of FOG?

A

< 1,000 meters visibility.

37
Q

What is advection fog?

A

Warmer moist air moves over a colder surface.

38
Q

What is radiation fog?

A

Heat radiating from the surface at night cools the bottom air until it reaches saturation.

39
Q

What are the minimum facilities for an LVP TO with a minimum of 125m RVR (4)?

A
  • Centerline markings.
  • RWY end lights (REL).
  • RWY edge lights (spaced 60m or less).
  • RWY centerline lights (RECL) (spaced 15m or less).
40
Q

What are the brief smart points for an approach in LVP (6)?

A
  • Assess WX for alternates.
  • Assess holding time due to LVP.
  • Review task sharing from the QRH.
  • Brief actions for downgrades.
  • Taxi pattern.
  • WLM during taxi.
41
Q

What are the 4 sources of aircraft capability for LVP?

46
Q

What other weather condition point is important for planning an autoland?

A

Crosswind limitations (found in the operational quick access folder).

47
Q

Where can you find the requirements in case of downgraded ground equipment for an autoland?

A

In Lido documents, GEN 1.5.7.16.2 table.

48
Q

How many consecutive approaches can be attempted?

A

A maximum of two when there has been a go-around due to weather conditions.

49
Q

Is it possible to try a third approach?

A

In exceptional circumstances, it is possible when a go-around has been carried out for non-weather-related reasons, providing the commander is satisfied that landing is assured.

50
Q

For a CAT II approach, can the DH not exactly be 100’ RA?

A

Yes, due to terrain features immediately before the threshold.

51
Q

Are SA CAT II approaches approved in Austrian AOC?

A

Yes.

52
Q

Why is there an alert height for a CAT III NO DH approach?

A

As there is no limitation for visual reference, there is still a decision to be made regarding the aircraft landing capability.

53
Q

What minima will be used for a CAT 3 DUAL?

A

CAT III NO DH

54
Q

What minima will be used for a CAT 3 SINGLE?

A

CAT III with DH

55
Q

Are all reported RVR significant for the approach ban?

A

Yes, all of the reported RVRs along the runway are significant.

56
Q

What altitude is the approach ban?

A

1000’ TDZE or DA/DH or MDA/MDH if they are above 1000’ TDZE.

57
Q

What is the minimum aircraft capability on FMA above alert height?

A

CAT 3 DUAL.

58
Q

What happens at 400’ on autoland?

A

FCU lock

59
Q

What happens in case of a master warning during an autoland?

A

The failure must be assessed and its impact on autoland capability before deciding to GA or continue.
