Mnemonics and Main Memory Items | Arrival and Approach Procedures Flashcards
The width of the corridor around a specified arrival route is:
5nm
An aircraft making a radar approach should be directed to execute a missed approach if no clearance to land has been received from the non-radar controller by the time the aircraft reaches a distance of:
2 NM from the touchdown
In a precision approach (ILS), generally glide path intersection occurs at heights above runway elevation from:
300m (984 ft) to 900m (2955 ft)
Where an operational advantage can be obtained, an ILS procedure may include a dead reckoning segment from a fix to the localizer. The DR track will:
Intersect the localizer at 45° and will not be more 10 NM in length
Missed Approach Point with fly-over fix -
Missed Approach Point for turning fix(fly-by) -
RNAV approach. What is the FAF?
MATP(generally the missed approach point is fly-over)
MATF
Fly-by fix
If RAIM is lost on a flight on an RNAV route:
Report to ATC after 10 mins or at the next compulsory reporting point, whichever occurs first
RNAV (GNSS) approach that uses Baro-VNAV is temperature restricted and is called a:
RNAV (GNSS) approach that uses LNAV only is called a:
RNAV (GNSS) approach with GBAS is defined as a:
APV
NPA
PA
Precision approaches and APV’s are flown down to
DA/H
On a non-precision approach a so-called “straight-in-approach” is considered acceptable, if the angle between the final approach track and the runway centreline is:
30 degrees or less
Missed Approach Segments.
Explain in detail:
Summary of the missed approach segments -
Missed approach gradient -
- Initial Segment: During the initial phase the aircraft establishes a positive rate of climb. The initial phase begins at the MAPt and ends at the point where the aircraft is established in the climb. The procedure will call for the climb to be started on the final approach track therefore no turns are specified in this phase.
- During the intermediate phase the aircraft climbs to a point where it can maintain a minimum obstacle clearance of 50 meters. At the beginning of this phase the obstacle clearance will be less than 50 meters but the procedure will be designed (i.e. the decision height set) to ensure that there will never be less than 30 meters (98ft) obstacle clearance. Turns of no more than 15º may be specified. During this phase, it is assumed that the pilot will make track corrections.
- Final Segment: The final phase of the missed approach begins at the point where 50 meters obstacle clearance can be maintained and extends to the point where a new approach, holding or return to en-route flight is initiated. Turns may be prescribed during this phase.
Initial segment is where the climb is established, no turns allowed. It starts at the MAP and ends where the climb is established.
Intermediate segment is where a minimum of 30m obstacle clearance is provided, and a climb to 50m obstacle clearance is started. Turns cannot be more than 15 degrees.
Final segment provides 50m obstacle clearance.
Gradient is 2.5%
Approach Ban:
When the question refers to “ILS procedure”, the following applies:
If the information transmitted by the appropriate services and received by the crew contains parameters below the crew’s operational minimums, the point beyond which the approach must not be continued is the ? or equivalent, or ? above the aerodrome/heliport if there is no ? or equivalent. (ICAO Annex 6 Part I, 4.4.1)
When the question refers to “Precision Approach”, the following applies:
The approach shall not be continued beyond the ? or equivalent (e.g. OM for ILS) published position, unless the reported RVR or visibility for the runway or touch-down area is equal to, or better than, the applicable operating minima. (SACAA CATS 91.07.26)
When the question refers to “Non-Precision Approach”, the following applies:
The approach shall not be continued below ? above the aerodrome, unless the reported RVR or visibility for the runway or touch-down area is equal to, or better than, the applicable operating minima. (SACAA CATS 91.07.26 and ICAO Annex 6 Part I, 4.4.1)
If the information transmitted by the appropriate services and received by the crew contains parameters below the crew’s operational minimums, the point beyond which the approach must not be continued is the outer marker (OM) or equivalent, or 1000 ft above the aerodrome/heliport if there is no outer marker or equivalent. (ICAO Annex 6 Part I, 4.4.1)
The approach shall not be continued beyond the FAF or equivalent (e.g. OM for ILS) published position, unless the reported RVR or visibility for the runway or touch-down area is equal to, or better than, the applicable operating minima. (SACAA CATS 91.07.26)
The approach shall not be continued below 1 000 feet above the aerodrome, unless the reported RVR or visibility for the runway or touch-down area is equal to, or better than, the applicable operating minima. (SACAA CATS 91.07.26 and ICAO Annex 6 Part I, 4.4.1)
During an approach in IMC, at what altitude should a plane be stabilized for final approach?
1000ft
- In accordance with PAN-OPS, the minimum descent gradient, applicable in the final approach segment to ensure the required minimum obstacle clearance, is:
- Normally the maximum gradient applicable in the final approach segment to ensure the required minimum obstacle clearance is:
- According to ICAO Doc 8168, the optimum descent gradient/angle in the final approach of a procedure with a FAF is:
- Which of the following glide path angles represent the maximum to be used in the design of a standard Category II and III ILS instrument approach procedure in accordance with ICAO PANSOPS(and for other categories)?
- 4.3%
- 6.5%
- 5.2% or 3.0°
- 3 degrees. For other categories, maximum 3.5 degrees and minimum 2.5.
Radar identification of a departing aircraft can be achieved if a radar blip is observed within a certain distance from the end of the runway.
Identification has to be achieved within:
1 NM
Clearance to land or any alternative clearance received from the non-radar controller should normally be passed to the aircraft before it reaches a distance of:
Except otherwise established by the appropriate ATS authority a Surveillance Radar Approach (SRA) shall be terminated at a distance from the touch down of:
When should a landing clearance be passed to an aircraft during a SRA/PAR?
2 NM from touch down
2 NM from touch down
2 NM from touch down
