Question 4

What is a Minimum obstacle clearance altitude (MOCA)

Answer 4

The MOCA is the minimum altitude for a defined segment that provides the required obstacle clearance. A MOCA is determined and published for each segment of the route.

Question 5

All turns are to be made at a bank angle of _____ or at a rate of _____, whichever requires the lesser bank

Answer 5

All turns are to be made at a bank angle of 25° or at a rate of 3° per second, whichever requires the lesser bank

Question 6

All procedures depict _____. Pilots should attempt to maintain the _____ by making allowance for known wind by applying corrections both to _____ and _____. This should be done during entry and while flying in the holding pattern

Answer 6

All procedures depict tracks. Pilots should attempt to maintain the track by making allowance for known wind by applying corrections both to heading and timing. This should be done during entry and while flying in the holding pattern

Question 7

Outbound timing begins _____ or _____, whichever occurs _____. If the abeam position cannot be determined, start timing when _____.

Answer 7

Outbound timing begins over or abeam the fix, whichever occurs later. If the abeam position cannot be determined, start timing when the turn to outbound is completed

Question 8

The entry into the holding pattern shall be according to heading in relation to the three entry sectors: _____, _____ and _____, recognizing a zone of flexibility of _____ on either side of the sector boundaries

Answer 8

The entry into the holding pattern shall be according to heading in relation to the three entry sectors: Direct, Parallel and Offset, recognizing a zone of flexibility of 5 degrees on either side of the sector boundaries

Question 9

The still air time for flying the outbound entry heading should not exceed:

Answer 9

a) one minute if at or below 4 250 m (14 000 ft); or
b) one and one-half minutes if above 4 250 m (14 000 ft).

Question 10

Due allowance should be made in both _____ and _____ to compensate for the effects of wind to ensure the inbound track is regained before passing the holding fix inbound.

Answer 10

Due allowance should be made in both heading and timing to compensate for the effects of wind to ensure the inbound track is regained before passing the holding fix inbound.

Question 11

When clearance is received specifying the time of departure from the holding point, the pilot should _____ in order to leave the holding point at the time specified

Answer 11

When clearance is received specifying the time of departure from the holding point, the pilot should adjust the pattern within the limits of the established holding procedure in order to leave the holding point at the time specified
