Safe Landing Policy OMA 8.13.6 Flashcards
What four elements make up the safe landing Policy?
Inflight Landing performance assessment
Stable approach criteria
Safe touchdown criteria
Safe rollout criteria
What must be carried out for every approach ?
Landing distance calculation
Set Suitable approach gates
Set a latest touchdown point
Establish braking strategy and runway exit point
What must the landing calculation take account of?
Prevailing approach Runway conditions Aircraft weight Configuration Any retardation device deficiencies
What is the landing performance calculation used for?
The landing performance calculation is compared against LDA to establish stop margin available.
To satisfy the stable approach criteria when must the aircraft be stable by?
On all approaches the aircraft must be stable by the 1000ft auto call.
What criteria must be met for the approach to be considered stable?
Planned landing configuration (gear and flap)
On correct vertical profile
Stabilised at target speed.
What is the correct vertical profile defined as?
Electronic glideslope/glidepath - ILS, VNAV,MLS, GLS, FLS
Non-precision approach path
Visual profile
What determines a correct visual profile?
VASIS - PAPIS - reds + whites
If VASIS not available then a profile that commensurates a 3 degree approach slope
Under what circumstances can the approach be continued beyond the 1000 auto call if the speed is not stabilised at the target approach speed?
Rapid wind changes
Turbulence
ATC speed requirement
Speed close to target and reducing
At what point must the target speed be stable by, if it was not stable at the 1000ft auto call?
If the aircraft is stable at the target approach speed before the 500ft auto call - then a go-around must be flown.
What are the only three responses to the 1000ft auto call?
UNSTABLE - GO-AROUND
STABLE
SPEED
If the response at 1000ft was SPEED - what further call must then be made?
The call of STABLE must occur before the 500ft auto call.
What criteria must be met for a landing to be considered safe?
Main gear touchdown in touchdown zone.
Main gear touchdown and trajectory within runway edge assured.
Normal runway contact within aircraft geometric landing limits.
What manoeuvre must be carried out if the safe touchdown criteria are not met?
A rejected landing should be carried out if the safe touchdown criteria are not met.
When can a rejected landing be carried out?
At any time up until reverse thrust is selected.
