Question 12

MFA’s (8.1)

Define “Route MORA”

Answer 12

The Route MORA is based on an area extending 10 NM on either side of the route centre line and is calculated by rounding up the highest terrain or obstruction elevation within this area to the next higher 100 ft and then adding:

• 1,000 ft for terrain or obstruction up to 6,000 ft, or
• 2,000 ft for terrain or obstruction above 6,000 ft.

Question 13

MFA’s (8.1)

Define Minimum Enroute Altitude (MEA)

Answer 13

The MEA is normally the lowest officially published altitude on a route segment that covers adequate NAVAID signal reception and minimum obstacle clearance:

• 1,000 ft for terrain or obstruction up to 6,000 ft, or
• 2,000 ft for terrain or obstruction above 6,000 ft.

Question 14

MFA’s (8.1)

Define Minimum Terrain Clearance Altitude (MTCA)

Answer 14

-For Route segments, same as Route MORA
-For SIDs & STARs, the MTCA is based on an area extending 5 NM on either side of the route centre line. This MTCA is published for all STARs up to IAF or
equivalent end point, and as exception for selected airports on SIDs (for segments lying outside the coverage of the MSA). The following minimum obstacle clearance applies:
1,000 ft for terrain or obstruction up to 6,000 ft, or
2,000 ft for terrain or obstruction above 6,000 ft.
-An MTCA is not provided on open end procedure legs, e.g. radar vectoring legs.

Question 15

MFA’s (8.1)

Define Minimum Grid Altitude (MGA)

Answer 15

The MGA is the lowest safe altitude to be flown off-track. The MGA is calculated by rounding up the elevation of the highest obstruction within the respective grid area to the next 100 ft and adding an increment of:
-1,000 ft for terrain or obstruction up to 6,000 ft, or
-2,000 ft for terrain or obstruction above 6,000 ft.
The lowest indicated MGA is 2,000 ft. This value is also provided for terrain and obstacles that would result in an MGA below 2,000 ft. Exception is overwater areas,
where the MGA can be omitted.

Question 16

MFA’s (8.1)

Define Minimum Sector Altitude (MSA)

Answer 16

The lowest altitude which may be used and will provide a minimum clearance of 1,000 ft above all objects located in an area contained within a sector of a circle of 25 NM radius centered on the reference NAVAID or the Aerodrome Reference Point (ARP). The MSA is shown for each sector. The sectors and altitudes are officially published by State authorities

Question 17

MFA’s (8.1)

Define Terminal Arrival Altitude (TAA)

Answer 17

TAA sectors and altitudes are officially published by State authorities and are only shown for RNAV approaches, replacing the MSA. Similar to the MSA, a TAA inset is shown if the full sector information is not clearly visible on the chart plan view.

Question 18

MFA’s (8.1)

Define Driftdown Minimum Crossing Altitude (D-MCA)

Answer 18

(KLC Policy) The D-MCA is the required minimum altitude determined for the aeroplane type and route segment concerned in order to satisfy terrain clearance requirements in case of an N-1 situation.

Question 28

Fuel phases : (8.3)

Define the Normal phase

Answer 28

Question 29

Fuel phases : (8.3)

Define the ab-Normal phase

Answer 29

FOB = Less than Alternate fuel plus Final Reserve fuel, but more than Final Reserve fuel; or when planned without destination alternate, less than 15 min Holding fuel plus Final Reserve fuel, but more than Final Reserve fuel.
