Precautionary Approaches

Question 1

Straight-In PA

Answer 1

1. Set power 80% RPM
2. Advise Approach Control of intention to make straight in PA
3. 5,000’ AGl@5NM lower gear and half flaps, extend SB, Landing Checklist
4. Maintain 175 KIAS @3000 FPM
   
   1. 4@4nm / 3@3nm / 2@2nm /
5. @1.5 NM (1500’AGL) incr pitch to slow 165, Flaps full (once landing is assured), SB as require

*DO NOT DECELERATE BELOW 160 KIAS until on roundout and flare prior to TD.

*DO NOT DECELERATE BELOW OPTIMUM AOA

6. Reduce power idle and continue to adjust pitch
7. TD should occur within first 3rd of the runway

Question 2

Overhead Perpendicular PA

Answer 2

1. Set 80% power, 200 KIAS @5000’ AGL on heading 90* to landing runway approx 4000’ down the runway.
2. At High Key (3 seconds after crossing runway), lower gear and ½ flaps
3. 25* - 30* AOB turn @ 4700’ AGL and extend SB maintain 175 KIAS
4. Hit low key @ 3000’ AGL, 175 KIAS w/ 3300 FPM rate of descent at 1.5 miles abeam in 35* AOB turn
5. Arrive at 90* pos @ 1500’ AGL and 175 KIAS
   
   1. Begin to pitch to slow 165 KIAS
6. 45* pos with appropriate altitude and airspeed to assure landing →
   
   1. Flaps full,
   2. Intercept Extended rwy centerline at 330’ AGL and 160 KIAS

Question 3

Parallel Entry

Answer 3

1. High Key: 80% power, 200 KIAS, 5000’ AGL offset from runway
   
   1. lower gear and ½ flaps
   2. initiate 25-35* AOB to arrive at LK 3000’ AGL
2. Low Key: 3000’ AGL, 175 KIAS, AOB: 35*, 1.5 NM abeam 1,750’ down the runway
3. 90*: 1500’ AGL, 175 KIAS (decelerating to 175) AOB 35*
4. 45*: 1000’ AGL, 165 KIAS (decelerating to 160 KIAS) with runway made, go full flaps/slats, SB as required. 25* AOB
5. Final 330’ AGL, 160 KIAS

Question 4

Abeam PA

Answer 4

1. Abeam: 80% RPM, 3000’ AGL, 1-1.5NM abeam, 200 KIAS
2. Low key: 3000’ AGL, 175 KIAS, 35* AOB turn
3. 90* Pos: 1,500’ AGL, 175 KIAS (slowing 165), 35* AOB
4. 45* Pos: 1000’ AGL, 165 KIAS (slowing 160) w/ landing assured, Full flaps, SB as req, 25* AOB
5. Final: 330’ AGL, 160 KIAS
