Burn rate 38L/hour
Descent below DA, DH or MDA - Aircraft position
The aircraft is continuously in a position from which a descent to a landing on the intended runway can be made at a normal rate of descent using normal manoeuvres that will allow a touchdown to occur within the touchdown zone of the runway of intended landing
Descent below DA, DH, MDA - Circling approach
On a circling approach, maintain the aircraft within the appropriate circling area
Descent below DA, DH, MDA - Flight visibility
The flight visibility is not less than the visibility prescribed for the instrument approach being used
Descent below DA, DH or MDA - visual references for the intended landing runway is distinctly visible and identifiable to the pilot
The approach lighting system
The threshold markings
The threshold lights
The runway-end identification lights
The visual approach slope indicator
The touchdown zone or touchdown zone markings
The runway lights
Aircraft Category speed is calculated by:
Vat = IAS at the threshold
Vat = 1.3 x Vs0
Vs0 = stall speed in the landing configuration at max landing weight
Aircraft category Vat speeds
Cat A: Less than 91kts
Cat B: 91kts - 120kts
Cat C: 121kts - 140kts
Cat D: 141kts - 165kts
Cat E: 166kts - 210kts
Cat A range of initial approach speeds
90-150kts
(110kts max speed reversal procedure)
Cat A speeds range of final approach speeds
70 - 100kts
Cat A max speeds for visual manoeuvring
100kts
Cat A max speed for missed approach
110kts
Cat A max IAS for turns during the SID, assuming an average bank angle of 15°
Cat A: 120kts
Cat A max speed for holding patterns
14,000ft and below: 170kts
14,000ft - 20,000ft: 240kts
20,001ft - 34,000ft: 265kts
Above 34,000ft: M0.83
IFR COMMS Failure General
- Maintain terrain clearance
- Transponder 7600
- Try alternate secondary plu listed ATS frequency
- Check COMM equipment
- Listen to ATIS if possible
- Transmit position report (prefix call with ‘transmitting blind’)
- Turn on landing lights, beacons and strobes
- Call Control or INFO
- If destination within an MBZ, proceed to an alternate aerodrome unless the risk is greater than continuing
COMMS Failure - VMC and certain of maintaining VMC
- remain in VMC
- continue the flight under VFR
- proceed to a suitable aerodrome and land
- report arrival by the most expeditious means to the appropriate ATS unit
COMMs Failure - IMC or uncertain of maintaining VMC
Depends on the latest info available on the:
- destination aid
- air traffic/airspace procedures
- met conditions enroute and at the destination
The pilot should proceed in accordance with the current flight plan as confirmed by the last acknowledged ATC clearance. ATC will assume that the aircraft will climb to the:
- flight planned level
The last level requested by the pilot and acknowledged by ATC
COMMs Failure - Departure: Level Instructions
The pilot of an IFR aircraft that experiences comms failure on departure should:
- maintain the key assigned level(a) to the point specified, then climb to maintain the level(s) in the current flight plan; or
- if no points are specified, maintain the last assigned level, or minimum flight altitude, if higher, for 5 minutes , then climb to maintain the level(s) specified in the current flight plan
COMMs failure - departure: radar vectors
- maintain the last assigned vector for 2 minutes, and climb to MSA if necessary to maintain terrain clearance; and
- proceed in accordance with the route specified in the current flight plan
