63
Q

Calculating LSALT

A

AC 91-3
12Deg each side of the track from an AD with nav aid guidance. (Inc GPS)

15Deg each side of the track from an AD without a nav aid

Each tolerance area has a 5nm buffer on either side. The maximum tolerance area is out to 50nm on either side of the track.

GPS guided tracks have a 7nm buffer and only have a maximum tolerance area of 30nm either side of the track.

Arriving at an AD without a navaid, the tolerance area creates a 50nm semi-circle around the AD.

64
Q

An AC operating under part 125 shall not be operated more than …

A

90 min away from an AD that the AC can land at. 125.217

65
Q

Each AC operated with 2 or more engines shall be …

A

capable of continuing flight at a positive slope at or above the relevant LSALT, to a point 1000’ above a suitable AD with the critical engine inop. 125.215

66
Q

Circling to land (Below 2000’ AMSL. Above this height, the chart shall specify radius). Circling area radius based on 20 AOB ISA +15.

A

IAL 1-1 1.5 & IAL 1-4 2.2

67
Q

When can you descend below the MDA?

A

May occur providing the AC is maintained within the circling area, visual reference can be maintained and approach threshold, approach lights or other markings are identifiable with the approach end of the RWY. For Cat A 300’ must be maintained until the AC is aligned with the RWY, strip or landing direction to be used.
Note: Visual reference - clear of cloud, in sight of ground or water and flight visibility not below the specified minimums for circling.

68
Q

What are the navigation tolerances?

A

VOR +/- 2 dots, NDB +/- 5Deg, DME +/-1nm

69
Q

How much clearance and how many degrees is the missed approach?

A

IAL 1-2 1.6 Note 2

100’ clearance from obstacles and 2.5Deg (152’/nm). Therefore @ 85kts, you need to achieve 228’/min on climb-out.

70
Q

When can a visual approach under IFR be conducted?

A

Day: within 30nm of AD, at least 5km vis & continuous visual reference can be maintained.
Night: within the circling area, aligned with RWY centreline not more than 7nm on an ILS, otherwise 5nm and the RWY approach/lighting is in sight throughout.

71
Q

Approach charts symbols

A

** special alternate minima (dual equipped VOR/ILS & ADF)
* notes on circling restrictions
◊ Increase vis to 1.5km without HIAL. 900m for other RWY aligned App’s
# False course indications or course reversal may occur outside 35Deg of LLZ course
