PTS Area of Operation II: Technical Subject Areas-C/D Flashcards
SID
Standard Instrument Departures
Designed at the request of ATC to increase capacity of terminal airspace.
Control traffic and provides obstacle clearance and reduce workload
Decreases clearance time simplifies departure eases into IFR structure
Can put No SIDS in remarks section in file
Instrument departure procedures
Non Rnav(radio navigation) established for aircraft with ground based nav in the avionics
Rnav for gps and VOR DME
STAR
standard terminal arrival route
Provides common method to arrive at airport from enroute
Provides critical form of communication for pilots and atc
Descend VIA
Comply with the lateral path of the STAR. Comply with all published speed restrictions. Comply with all published altitude restrictions
When do you need an alternate 91.169
123 rule
1 hour before to 1 hour after
at least 3sm 2000ft ceilings
anything less need one
minimum wx mins at airport to use as a alternate
Precision 600-2
nonpercision 800-2
no approach- descent from mea to airport under vfr
alternate gps considerations
Non WAAS GPS equipped
GPS approach either the destination or the alternate, but cant be both
alternate gps considerations
WAAS without baro VNAV
can use Lnav or circling minimas
IFR altitudes 91.179
0-179 odd thousands
180-359 even thousands
IFR fuel requirements 91.167
to destination, then alternate then 45 mins at normal cruise
IFR flightplan needed 91.173
to fly ifr in controlled airspace need to file ifr flight plan and need atc clearance
IFR take off mins 91.175
part 91-none
part 121/135-
1-2 engine 1sm
3-4 engines 1/2 sm
Black T triangle
Non standard Takeoff minimums/ departure procedures
Black A triangle
Non standard ifr alternate minimums exist
Black triangle A NA
alternate not authorized
Departure Procedures AIM-5-2-9
they ensure obstacle clearance
airplane must cross the threshold at least 35ft agl
no turns before 400ft agl
standard climbs are 200 ft per nm or as published
how to convert fpnm to fpm
FPNM X GS / 60
Two types of DPs
Obstacle departure procedures
Standard instrument departure procedures
ODPs
provides only obstacle clarance
titled OBSTACLE
Departure procedures are also categorized by
equipment
RNAV
NON RNAV
RADAR
Are you required to accecpt
NO but cant if you dont have the graphical or textual directions
IFR departure clearance
CRAFT
Clearance VOID time
clearance is voided if not wheels up by the time or minutes after the controller issued clearance
if not up must let them know within 30 minutes
Hold for release
cant takeoff until released by the controller for departure
Release time
earliest time the departure can take place
IFR min altitudes 91.177
except for T/O or landing cannot operate beneath
minimum altitudes for segment
2000 above highest obstacle in mountainous areas, 1000 ft non-mountainous areas and 4 nm from course
DA/ DH
height above ground or altitude msl when to go missed on a vertically guided approach
MEA
lowest published altitude between radio fixes that ensures navigation signal coverage and meets obstacle clearance requirements between those fixes.
RNAV MEA BLUE
depicted on some IFR en route low altitude charts, allowing both RNAV and non-RNAV pilots to use the same chart for instrument navigation.
Minimum reception altitude (MRA)
minimum altitude the navigation signal can be received for the route and for off-course NAVAID facilities that determine a fix.
When the MRA at the fix is higher than the MEA, an MRA is established for the fix and is the lowest altitude at which an intersection can be determined
flag R
Maximum authorized altitude(MAA)
maximum usable altitude or flight level for an airspace structure or route segment.
It is the highest altitude on a Federal airway, jet route, RNAV low or high route, or other direct route for which an MEA is designated. Adequate reception of navigation signals is assured
5) Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude (MOCA)
lowest published altitude in effect between fixes on VOR airways, off-airway routes, or route segments that meets obstacle clearance requirements for the entire route segment.
This altitude also assures acceptable navigational signal coverage only within 22 NM of a VOR.
asterick altitude
Off-route obstruction clearance altitude (OROCA)
An off-route obstruction clearance altitude (OROCA) is an off-route altitude that provides obstruction clearance with a 1,000-foot buffer in non-mountainous terrain areas, and a 2,000-foot buffer in designated mountainous areas. This altitude doesn’t guarantee signal coverage from ground-based NAVAIDs, ATC radar, or communications coverage
