PHI GOM RIG APP

Question 0

Is RADALT required to be operational for RIG Approach?

Answer 0

Yes.

ref: OSAP RIG APPROACH plate note 4.

Question 1

RIG GOM paragraph number

Answer 1

5.18

Question 2

What additional pilot training is required RIG approach

Answer 2

4 Rig approaches, 2 from each seat. May be completed in the SIM.

Question 3

On final (any OSAP) the OSAP shall not be executed in precipitation that results in….

Answer 3

loss of target:

attenuation on the RADAR that results in loss of target or clear area. (min arc of 120)

Question 4

Are all Automatic RIG approaches Parallel Offset?

Answer 4

Yes.
PHI uses .5 offset only, but others are available. The Minimum available Offset (MAO) is indicated on the PFD page and is a measurement of current navigation performance.

Question 5

The Copter OSAP Rig approach MAP is ____NM from rig

Answer 5

1NM

FYI- .87 from the MAP abeam the Rig

Question 6

Airspeed from the TP to the IAF is____

On Final the speed is____ and decels to arrive at _____kts _____nm from MAP on a____deg glide slope.

Answer 6

80kts GS or IAS whichever is higher- TP to FAF
80kts GS on final until decels 30 1/4nm from the MAP.
4 deg Glide Slope

Question 7

To initiate the RIG approach after it is built select____ on the ____

Answer 7

Select RIG on the Mode select panel

Question 8

What is the approximate descent rate from the FAF to MDH

Answer 8

500 FPM

RFM Supplement 1-5
1500-200MDH=1300. 3.3nm at 80kts=2:28. 1300/2:28=526

Question 9

How do you select the FAC for a RIG approach

Answer 9

PREVIEW the final course on the DCP.

Question 10

Are both pilots required to be RIG approach qualified

Answer 10

Yes

(Warning on RIG approach checklist)

Question 11

How far from the MAP will the aircraft arrive at the MDH

Answer 11

1/4nm from the MAP

Question 12

If the course is within___ degrees of final then the TP will not be shown and aircraft will go directly to the ____

Answer 12

30 degrees.
IAF

Question 13

The RIG approach will use a _____Maximum bank angle

Answer 13

25 deg.

RFM Supplement Part 2 1-6

Question 14

FAF to MAP (for 200 MDH) is _____nm

Answer 14

3.3 nm

RFM Supplement Part 2 1-5

Question 15

IAF to FAF is_____nm

Answer 15

2 nm

RFM Supplement Part 2 1-6

Question 16

Assume 135kts en route at 20nm from the rig, what is the approximate maximum altitude to activate the RIG approach for a straight in?

Answer 16

~5000 feet

This is a big ball park number due to the number of variables:
20nm minus 5.3 (IAF to MAP=14.7nm)
14.7 at 135GS = 6:32
6:32 x 750fpm= 4875
RFM Supplement Part 2 1-9

Question 17

The target Rig will be ____degrees L/R of the nose at the MAP.

Answer 17

30 deg.

Question 18

May you continue the approach if “NO GO” is displayed? Will the approach continue if the pilot does not intervene?

Answer 18

No
Yes-depending on the failure it may follow the NAV without descending.
RFM Supplement Part 2 1-7

Maximum tailwind is_____kts.
Approach must be entirely over_____.
Maximum localizer deviation on final is_____dot.

Answer 19

50kts
10kts
water
1 dot
RFM Supplement Part one 2-2

Question 20

The Missed Approach escape heading is____degrees R/L of the nose.

Answer 20

20deg

Question 21

The Final Approach course will capture when within_____dots. And will transition from RADALT to Glide slope within ____dot of the GS.

Answer 21

2 dot deflection
1 dot

Question 22

The simple stick map (ACFT to IAF to RIG) will be displayed until within___nm and then display TP, IAF, and MAP

Answer 22

22nm

Question 23

Will the Hover page be displayed at 80 knots IAS and 31kt headwind?

Answer 23

Yes

below 50 knots groundspeed OR airspeed
RFM Supplement Part 2 1-12

Question 24
