MORA:
This is an altitude derived by Jeppesen. The MORA provides known obstruction clearance __nm either side of the route centreline including __nm radius beyond the radio fix, reporting or milage break defining the route segment. For terrain and man-made structure clearance refer to grid MORA. When indicated on the Jeppesen en route chart, the figure appears in _______ with the letter “_”.
This is an altitude derived by Jeppesen. The MORA provides known obstruction clearance 10nm either side of the route centreline including 10nm radius beyond the radio fix, reporting or milage break defining the route segment. For terrain and man-made structure clearance refer to grid MORA. When indicated on the Jeppesen en route chart, the figure appears in maroon with the letter “a”.
MOCA:
MOCA is valid for a corridor extending __nm either side of the ____ ________, including a __nm radius beyond the __ defining the route segment. MOCA is provided in hundreds of feet, the lowest indicated being 2 000ft, and is based on a tolerance of _____ft above terrain and obstructions up to ______ft and ______ft above terrain and obstructions over ______ft, rounded up to the nearest 100ft. On the jeppesen en route chart this figure is indicated in _______ by a number in thousands and hundreds of feet followed by a capital letter “_”, next to the route.
MOCA is valid for a corridor extending 10nm either side of the route centreline, including a 10nm radius beyond the fix defining the route segment. MOCA is provided in hundreds of feet, the lowest indicated being 2 000ft, and is based on a tolerance of 1500ft above terrain and obstructions up to 5 000ft and 2 000ft above terrain and obstructions over 5000ft, rounded up to the nearest 100ft. On the jeppesen en route chart this figure is indicated in maroon by a number in thousands and hundreds of feet followed by a capital letter “T”, next to the route. For example 6000T.
Grid MORA:
An altitude derived by Jeppesen or provided by state authorities. The grid MORA altitude provides terrain and man-made structure clearance within the sector outlined by latitude and longitude lines. MORA does __ provide for navaid signal coverage or communication coverage.
(a) Grid MORA values derived by Jeppesen clear all terrain and man-made structures by _____ft in areas where the highest elevations are ______ft MSL or lower. MORA values clear all terrain and man-made structures by ______ft in areas where the highest elevations are ______ft or higher. When a grid MORA is shown as “unsurveyed” it is due to incomplete or insufficient information. Grid MORA values followed by a +/- denote doubtful accuracy, but are believed to provide sufficient reference point clearance.
(b) Grid MORA (state) altitude supplied by the State Authority provides ______ft clearance in mountainous areas and ______ft in non-mountainous areas.
Grid MORA:
An altitude derived by Jeppesen or provided by state authorities. The grid MORA altitude provides terrain and man-made structure clearance within the sector outlined by latitude and longitude lines. MORA does not provide for navaid signal coverage or communication coverage.
(a) Grid MORA values derived by Jeppesen clear all terrain and man-made structures by 1 000ft in areas where the highest elevations are 5000ft MSL or lower. MORA values clear all terrain and man-made structures by 2000ft in areas where the highest elevations are 5000ft or higher. When a grid MORA is shown as “unsurveyed” it is due to incomplete or insufficient information. Grid MORA values followed by a +/- denote doubtful accuracy, but are believed to provide sufficient reference point clearance.
(b) Grid MORA (state) altitude supplied by the State Authority provides 2000ft clearance in mountainous areas and 1000ft in non-mountainous areas.
MEA:
The altitude for an en route segment that provides adequate ________ of relevant _________ facilities and ___ communications, complies with the _______ structure and provides the required _______ _______. On the Jeppesen chart this figure is shown in _______ next to the route.
The altitude for an en route segment that provides adequate reception of relevant navigation facilities and ATS communications, complies with the airspace structure and provides the required obstacle clearance. On the Jeppesen chart this figure is shown in maroon next to the route.
Refer to FAEL ILS Z RWY 11. A Category A aircraft is executing an ILS approach according to the ILS Z RWY 11 approach chart at FAEL. A missed approach will be initiated at the latest on reaching a DA of:
Note: CAT 1 - OCA 570 and OCH 135. How to calculate the DA?
Since the OCH is below system minima, we must find the difference between OCH and system minima, then add the difference to the DA.
= 635 ft
Is a bearing also same as radial?
NO
The definition of CAVOK is:
- Visibility 10km or more
- No cloud below 5000 feet or Minimum Sector Altitude (MSA) (whichever is the greater)
- No CB or TCU below 5000 feet or Minimum Sector Altitude (MSA) (whichever is the greater)
- No significant weather at or in the vicinity of the aerodrome
The SACAA approach plates are based on True North.(true or false)
False
