Non-Precission approach

Question 1

Before starting descent:

Answer 1

A-B-C: ATIS-BRIEFING-CHECKLIST

• Check weather (ATIS or ATC)
• calculate point of descent (normally ROD 500 - 1000 ft/min)
• check landing data (Vred, Vtgt, Rwy length)
• Complete NAV setting and approach briefing
• Inform ATC and request descent
• Perform approach items
• Passing transition level read approach checklist

Question 2

Approach

Answer 2

Reduce speed to 100 Kts / 22’’ MAP and when approaching 1 mile prior FAF:

• carb heat ON
• reduce to 20’’ / 2200 RPM
• 1 and 1/2 NM from FAF flaps T/O
• 1 NM from FAF gear down
• maintain 90 kts to the descent point

At FAF

• Power 18’’
• Prop Forward
• Flaps LDG
• Landing light ON upon reception of clearance for landing, low approach or touch and go
• Final checklist (Complete before 1000 ft AGL)

Question 3

Check OM (beacon or final)-altitude, when passing OM or 1000 ft AGL (the latest)

Answer 3

• reduce to Vtgt = Vref + 1/2 Wind + full gusts (min 5 kts - max 15 kts)
• When 100 ft to MDA call out: “approaching minimums”
• At MDA call “minimum”, reduce speed to Vref + gusts and check again gear down and properly locked (green light)

Question 4

In case of no visual contact or no landing clearance at MDA:

Answer 4

GO-AROUND

• Adjust pitch to ca 6º-8º nose-up attitude
• apply full power simultaneously (carb heat OFF)
• Flaps T/O
• Positive ROC: GEAR UP
• At acceleration altitude 500 ft AGL:
  
  • Pitch 5º
  • Flaps retract
  • Set climb power - 26’’ MAP / 2388 RPM (Time max 5min)
  • Landing light OFF
  • After that increase speed to 90 KIAS and
  • Call ATC

Question 6

IAF: APPROACH TIMES

Answer 6

• Fuel selectors: ON
• Mixture: Enrich
• APCH power set (22’’/2200 RPM)
• Int Speed 100 KIAS

Question 7

TL

Answer 7

Alt QNG
APCH checklist

Question 8

FAF and within 5º of final apch course:

Answer 8

• Flaps T/O
• Gear Down
• Prop Fwd
• Landing lights ON
• FINAL CHECKLIST

Question 9

LOM

Answer 9

Check Altitude (not below indicated crossing altitude)
- intermediate level off, if necessary
- reduce to Vtgt

Question 10

At MDA call out:

Answer 10

“Minimum”
No visual contact: Maintain MDA

MDA Visual contact:

Callout: We CONTINUE
- Continue in VASI/PAPI

Question 11

At MAPT and no visual contact:

Call out:

Answer 11

“We go around”

• Pitch up 8º
• Max power 27’’/2388 RPM
• Positive ROC:
  
  • GEAR UP
  • Flaps up (500ft Ground)
• Climb with 90 KIAS (24’’/2200 RPM)
