Question 1

Why does ATC/AIM personnel need knowledge of aircraft operations?

Answer 1

Safety: safe arrivals and departures

Standardization : less confusion, same methods.

Predictability: anticipation of maneuvers and positions.

Assistance: rendering of assistance.

Question 2

What is IDP?

Answer 2

Instrument Departure Procedures are pre planned IFR procedures designed for:
• Obstacle clearance protection
• To increase efficiency and reduce communication and departure delays.

Question 3

IDPs are established for each runway on which an instrument departure is expected to be used. True or False.

Answer 3

True.

Question 4

What are the types of Instrument Departure Procedures?

Answer 4

1) Obstacle departure procedures
2) Standard instrument departure

Question 5

Where does the Instrument Departure Procedure begin?

Answer 5

At the departure end of the runway. (DER)

Question 6

The procedure that climbs the pilot on a track to join the en-route structure and continue the flight in the specific direction is called ?

Answer 6

A Standard Instrument Departure

Question 7

Who compensated for the wind effect when following an IDP?

Answer 7

The pilot

Question 8

This procedure climbs the pilot to a safe altitude within the near vicinity of the airport. After reaching a safe altitude the pilot will join an e route structure.

Answer 8

Obstacle departure procedure.

Question 9

What are the classifications of IAP and what guidance do they give?

Answer 9

1) Non precision approach (NPA): Lateral/ horizontal only

2) Approach procedure with vertical guidance (APV): nav aid system (that does not meet ICAOs standards) for course and glide path deviation but not to the same standards as Precision approach.

3) Precision approach (PA): lateral and vertical guidance.

Question 10

What is an IAP?

Answer 10

An Instrument Approach Procedure is a series of predetermined maneuvers by reference to flight instruments with specified protection from obstacles.

Question 11

What are some examples of the NPA?

Answer 11

Localizer, RNAV, NDB, VOR

Question 12

What are the factors influencing the design of a IDP?

Answer 12

1) Terrain
2) Airspace restrictions
3) ATC requirements in the case of SIDs

Question 13

How are terrain and obstacles avoided while using the IDP?

Answer 13

1) Obstacle Identification Surface (OIS)
2) Procedure Design Gradient (PDG)

Question 14

Give some examples of APV

Answer 14

• LNAV
• VNAV
which are both GNSS approaches.

Question 15

What are the factors affecting the design of an IAP?

Answer 15

• Terrain
• Traffic patterns
• Aircraft performance
• Airspace restrictions
• Noise abatement procedures
