Operating Minima

Question 1

Minimum Visibility

Answer 1

RVR 2600 (1/2 SM)

Question 2

Hierarchy with ATC

Answer 2

• Runway visual range (RVR) For current runway
• Ground Visibility (METAR)
• Tower visibility
• Pilot visibility

Question 3

Hierarchy without active ATC Arrivals

Answer 3

• RVR For current runway
  -Metar
• Pilot Vis

Question 4

Hierarchy without active ATC Departures

Answer 4

-Metar
- Any RVR
- Pilot

Question 5

If visibility goes below 1/2 SM, under what conditions can the aircraft still taxi?(5)

Answer 5

• Started to taxi before Vis worsened
• Just landed
• Taxiing on manoeuvring area with ATC instructions
• Without active ATC tower, and according to aerodrome’s ops
• According to aerodrome’s RVOP/LVOP

Question 6

If visibility goes below 1/2 SM, under what conditions can the aircraft still land?(4)

Answer 6

• Aircraft has passed FAF or final approach intercept
• RVR is varying between below and above minimums and Metar is equal or above
• Metar is varying between below and above minimums and RVR is equal or above (no ATC)
• Prior to 1000 AAE, pilot deems localized phenomenon (no ATC)

Question 7

Whats the 3 elements of a standard departure procedure?

Answer 7

1. Cross the end of the runway at least 35 feet above
2. climb on runway heading to 400 feet AAE before turning
3. maintain climb gradient of at least 200 feet/NM

Question 8

Minimum visual range for SPEC VIS of different Aircraft Category

Answer 8

A: 1 SM
B: 1 1/2 SM
C: 2 SM
D: 2 SM

Question 9

Genaral aviation aircraft is prohibited to complete a non-precision approach, an APV, a CAT 1 or CAT 2 exept in the following cases: (5)

Answer 9

• if below-minima RVR is received after passing FAF
• PIC has informed ATC of missed approach training
• RVR is varying below and above minimum RVR
• RVR is below minimums and METAR is at least 1/4 SM
• Pilot is conducting a precision approach to CAT 3 minimas

Question 10

If local phenomenon happens and Ground vis is 1/4, an approach is authorized when: (5)

Answer 10

• the lowest reported RVR is above minimas
• the RVR is reported to fluctuate above and below minimums
• Ground Vis is reported to be at least 1/4 SM
• RVR for runways isn’t reported
• ATC is informed that aircraft is in missed approach training
