Answer 1

LOC, VOR, GPS (GNSS), and RNAV approaches.

Question 2

How are non-precision approaches flown?

Answer 2

Using a constant angle descent.

Question 3

What is the descent rate for a non-precision approach when there is no conversion table?

Answer 3

700-800 FPM.

Question 4

What is the rule of thumb for step-downs inside the FAF on a 3° glidepath?

Answer 4

Be at least 300 ft above any step-down altitude 1 nm from it.

Question 5

How is the Derived Minimum Descent Altitude (DMDA) calculated?

Answer 5

By adding 50 ft to the MDA.

Question 6

What should be done during a missed approach on a non-precision approach?

Answer 6

Continue to navigate via the lateral approach course until reaching the published MAP.

Question 7

When conducting a circling maneuver, what should be set in the altitude preselect?

Answer 7

The MDA instead of the missed approach altitude.
