PRM-SOIA Procedures - PRM-SOIA - General Requirements Flashcards
ILS approaches to parallel runways are normally separated by at least how many feet?
4,300 feet.
Simultaneous Close Parallel PRM approaches must meet which of the following requirements?
All of the answers are correct.
Precision Runway Monitor (PRM) Approaches is the term used for any straight-in approaches that are conducted simultaneously to parallel runways closer than:
4,300 feet.
The No Transgression Zone (NTZ) corridor centered between the two final approach courses is:
2,000 feet wide.
Which of the following is a feature of the Precision Runway Monitor system?
High resolution ATC radar display.
Conventional PRM procedures cannot be used if runway separation is less than:
3,000 feet.
Under Part 135, what specific training is required before accepting a clearance for a PRM approach?
FAA approved training identified in the company’s Operations Specifications.
Which of the following is a requirement of any aircraft flying a PRM approach?
Ability to listen to two communications frequencies simultaneously.
When conducting a closely spaced PRM approach, the secondary monitor frequency is:
Never used by the pilot to transmit to ATC.
Can pilots request a different PRM approach other than the one assigned by ATC?
Yes, however, pilots must obtain ATC approval.
When broadcast by ATIS or otherwise informed that PRM approaches are in progress, pilots should brief the specific approach to include:
The Attention All Users Page.
True or False? The ATIS will advertise PRM operations are in progress using the term “independent”.
False, ATIS will use “simultaneous” but not “independent.”
If the PRM runway ILS glideslope is reported out of service at the intended airport of landing, you may still conduct a PRM approach under which of the following circumstances?
Using the LNAV/VNAV or LPV minimums to conduct an RNAV approach, if approved for vertically guided RNAV approaches.
What information is included in the AAUP?
Breakout procedures and phraseology.
When must a pilot initiate an ATC breakout?
Immediately.
ATC breakout instructions will include:
Both vertical and horizontal resolution.
What course of action should be taken if you briefed an ILS PRM approach and while receiving ATC vectors you are informed that PRM approaches are no longer being conducted and to expect an ILS approach to the same runway?
Continue the approach, your initial PRM briefing also briefed the ILS approach.
When being vectored onto the final approach course, how much separation will a pilot be given from the adjacent aircraft?
3 miles radar separation or 1,000 feet vertical separation.
What action should be taken if a TCAS RA is received before, during, or after an ATC breakout instruction and it conflicts with the climb/descend portion of the breakout maneuver?
Follow the TCAS RA along with the turn portion of the ATC breakout instruction and notify ATC of the deviation.
While flying a PRM approach, is the use of autopilot allowed?
Yes, a pilot may use autopilot during the approach, but a breakout must be hand flown.
Simultaneous Offset Instrument Approach procedures known as SOIA were developed for runway spaced less than _______ but at least ______ apart.
3,000 feet; 750 feet.
SOIA procedures are designed with minimum cloud ceiling requirements. This is to enable approximately _____ for the offset aircraft to visually acquire the leading straight-in aircraft prior to reaching the offset MDA.
30 seconds.
When conducting an offset PRM approach during SOIA operations, the aircraft should visually transition from the offset course and be stabilized by:
500 feet AGL on the extended runway centerline.
What is the offset used to provide appropriate lateral separation between approach courses in a SOIA procedure?
2.5 to 3 degrees.
Pilots flying the straight-in approach should be aware that inside the offset MAP, the aircraft flying the offset course will be maneuvering:
Behind them.
If ATC advises the aircraft conducting the SOIA offset approach that there is traffic on the adjacent straight-in final, the offset aircraft is authorized to continue past the MAP for a landing if:
All of the answers are correct.
What action should be taken if after passing the MAP you lose sight of the traffic you are following or the runway threshold?
Execute a missed approach procedure and inform ATC of that fact.
Your FMS map display depicts the RNAV (GPS) PRM missed approach near the runway threshold:
The coding is correct, but the depiction doesn’t initially represent the charted missed approach procedure.
