Q

When are you considered to be established on an inbound track?

A

Within half scale deflection for VOR/ILS, or within 5° for NDB

22
Q

DME arcs have what terrain clearance?

A

1000ft up to 2.5nm either side of arc

23
Q

Angle of bank missed approach?

A

Minimum of 15°

24
Q

The missed approach will give a minimum obstacle clearance of __ft at a gradient of ___%?

A

98ft
2.5% (150ft/nm)

If climb gradient cannot be achieved, MDA/H or DA/H should be increased until it can.

25
Q

Visual Manoeuvring/Circling angle of bank?

A

20° average, or rate 1 (3°/sec) whichever is lesser

26
Q

Departure starts at what height above the end of the runway?

A

16ft

27
Q

Screen heights?

A

35ft dry runway
15ft wet runway

28
Q

Alternate aerodrome Minima:

A

At the estimated time of arrival,

Precision app:
*Ceiling 600ft or 200ft above DA/H, whichever is higher.
*Vis 3000m or 1000m above prescribed, whichever is greater.

Non-precision:
*Ceiling 800ft or 200ft above MDA, whichever is higher.
*Vis 4000m or 1500m above prescribed, whichever is greater.

29
Q

Minimum height AAL before commencing a turn on a departure?

A

400ft

30
Q

Easy way to calculate ROD on an ILS (5%)?

A

Either half GS x 10
Or
GS x 5

E.g 120kt = 600fpm

This gives 300ft/nm

31
Q

State the 4 climb segments

A

1st segment: screen height to gear up (positive roc)

2nd segment: gear up to 400ft or higher flap retract height at V2 (2.4% climb min)

3rd segment: flap up, level acceleration to final climb speed (1.2% climb min)

4th segment: end of 3rd to 1500ft at or greater than 1.25Vs (1.2% climb min)

32
Q

1 in 60 rule: at 60 DME, every 1° off track is how many miles?

A

1nm per degree

33
Q

Pressure altitude formula

A

Elevation + ((1013-QNH)x30)

34
Q

ISA values?
Pressure & Lapse rate
Temp & Lapse rate
Density

A

1013.25hPa
Lapse rate of 30ft/hPa
+15°C at sea level
Lapse rate of 1.98°C/1000ft up to 36,090ft then constant -56.5°C
*for density altitude correction use 120ft per degree difference from ISA
1.225kg/m3 density

35

36
Q

Air NZ history

A

Formed in 1940

CEO Greg Foran

Share price $0.67

105 aircraft in operation

Committed to sustainability
*caring for nz’ers
*genuine climate action
*zero carbon emissions by 2050

37
Q

What is ETP formula?

A

Dist to ETP = D x H / O + H

H = distance home
O = distance out

ETP moves in to wind

38
Q

What do weather conditions need to be above at destination to NOT need an alternate?

A

At least 1 hour either side of eta:

Ceiling is 1000ft above minima for procedure likely to be used,

Vis is 5km or 2km more than procedure, whichever is greater.

39
Q

NOSE?

A

North = Odd thousands of feet
South = Even thousands of feet

40
Q

Standard hold direction?

A

Right hand

41
Q

Min climb gradient on a SID?

A

3.3% / 200ft/nm

42
Q

When can you descend below MDA?

A

When you can maintain visual reference, make a normal approach to land with normal descent rate and manoeuvres, runway or runway lights in sight.

43
Q

IFR currency?

A

12 monthly check

In previous 90 days
3 hours IF:
2 can be in a SIM, 1 in AC

3 approaches:
1 can be in a SIM, 2 in AC

44
Q

How to work out TAS?

A

Add 2% of your IAS per thousand feet

1% is easy to work out then double it - 100kts @ 5,000’
*1% of 100 is 1kt, doubled is 2kt
*2(kt)x5(thousand feet) = 10kts
*100+10=110KTAS

45
Q

Distance on ARC?

A

10nm = 6deg/nm
12nm = 5deg/nm
15nm = 4deg/nm

46
Q

Lead radial on an arc?

A

2nm before inbound track
*12 deg for 10nm
*10 deg for 12nm
*8 deg for 15nm

47
Q

Time?

A

15 degrees = 1hr
1 degree = 4 minutes

48
Q

Drift angle required for crosswind?

A

Convert aircraft speed into miles per minute then divide the crosswind strength by that.

Eg 180kt with 30kt crosswind
*180kt = 3nm/min
*30 / 3 = 10 deg of drift

49
Q

AOB for a rate 1 turn?

A

TAS / 10 + 7
*130kt = 13 + 7 = 20 deg AOB
