Non Precision Approaches

Question 1

What types of approach can be flown in FINAL APPROACH mode?

Answer 1

NPA overlays (VOR/NDB)
GPS approaches either in VNAV or LNAV

Question 2

What equipment is required for approach in FINAL APP mode?

Answer 2

1 FMS
1 MCDU
1 PFD
1 ND
both FCU channels

GPS primary for GPS approach
Nav accuracy high for overlay approaches

Question 3

What are the limitations regarding temp and FINAL APPROACH mode?

Answer 3

RNAV/RNP appr can only be flown if temperature is above published limit.
If below the limit, NPAs can be made using selected guidance

Question 4

Regarding MCDU, what differences are acceptable compared to published profile?

Answer 4

NPA
Lateral = 3º
Vertical = 0.1º

RNAV/RNP
Lateral = 1º
Vertical = 0.1º

Question 5

On a GNSS appr what scale is represented by full brick deviation?

Answer 5

200ft

Question 6

Regarding MCDU, what needs to be displayed on NPA and GNSS/RNAV appr?

Answer 6

NPA
Nav accuracy HIGH

GNSS/RNAV
Nav accuracy HIGH and GPS PRIMARY

Question 7

What is the max difference between the primary altimeters on FINAL APP mode?

Answer 7

100ft

Question 8

During GNSS approach, what lateral and vertical exceedences should you initiate a missed approach? What downgrades should you go around for?

Answer 8

Lateral
XTK >0.3nm

Vertical
3/4 dot low on profile (75ft)

Loss of both GPS
FM/GPS POS DISAGREE
NAV ACCURACY downgrade

Question 9

If you need to recover the vertical profile on NPA, what should you select on the FPA?

Answer 9

1* recovers 100ft/nm
