Question 1

Descent below LSALT in IMC

Answer 1

Remain above LSALT or Minimum sector altitude

Takeoff or landing on GNSS or DME procedure
Authorised instrument approach procedure
ATC clearance
Visual

Question 2

Minimum sector altitude

Answer 2

25nm and 10nm MSA provide 1000ft clearance. Can deviate from track within MSA to facilitate entry to instrument approach.
Within sectorised 25nm, if unsectorised 10nm is higher, may maintain lower MSA if within sector.

Question 3

Arriving at IAF, an aircraft at correct height can commence approach without entering hold if:

Answer 3

In CTA, ATC has cleared; or
Reversal procedure requirements are satisfied; or
DME arc entry requirements are satisfied; or
Within 30deg of first track of procedure;

Question 4

Visual approach day

Answer 4

Within 30nm of airport
Clear of cloud 
In sight of ground or water
Vis 5k
Not less than 500ft above lower limit of CTA when in controlled airspace

Question 5

Visual approach night

Answer 5

At an altitude not below LSALT/MSA for the route segment/step of the arrival:
Clear of cloud
In sight if ground or water
Vis 5k
500ft above lower limit of CTA

Above appropriate MSA or last assigned altitude if being vectored, until;
Appropriate instrument approach available: within circling area for category, at prescribed speed (180kt cat C).
Without approach: within 3nm of ARP with AD in sight

Within 5nm (7nm where ILS equipped) aligned on centreline and established not below slope on PAPI or TVASI
Within 10nm (14nm SYD 16L/34L) inside full azimuth deflection of ILS, not below GS

Question 6

Visual approach in controlled airspace

Answer 6

Clearance for visual app
If on STAR, continue to follow lateral guidance if STAR
When not on STAR, maintain track and heading until:
Day: within 5nm of AD
Night: AD in sight and within curling area

Question 7

Hold speeds

Answer 7

To 140: 230kt
140 - 200: 240kt
Above 200: 265kt

Question 8

Airspeed unreliable

Answer 8

AP disengage
AT off
FDs off
FE 10/80, FU 4/75
