Q

Operation below the DA/DH (91.175)

A

( 1. Aircraft is stable )1. Aircraft in a continuous position to land as a normal decent rate using normal maneuvers
2. Flight visibility not less than the prescribed got the approach, may descend to 100’ above TDZE ( touch down zone elevations) if approach lights in sight

Q

Circling minimums
Expanded

A

○ Expanded marked by C(bolded)
■ After 2012, now factors in MDA because of increased true airspeed at different altitudes

Q

When do you go misses on a non permission approach

A

Missed approach point

■ Runway threshold or other specified point, usually labeled as a point with
DME
○ If a plate has both precision/non-precision approaches, then the profile view will
ALWAYS default to showing the precision approach profile
■ All the information is still there for the non-precision approach, but it is up
to YOU to interpret/visualize how it’s different

17
Q

What is you MSA

A

Minimum safe altitudes
■ Emergency altitude used in case of lost situational awareness
■ Provides obstacle/terrain avoidance

18
Q

What is your TAA

A

Terminal arrival area
Provides altitude and distance information for a given area
■ For RNAV approaches only

19
Q

What can notams do to approaches

A

Can alter the published approach

20
Q

What are your mandatory reporting points

A

MARVELOUSVFRC500
Misses approach
Airspeed change of +/- 10 or 5%
Reaching a holding fix
VFR on top
ETA change of +/- 2
Leaving a holding fix
Outer marker beacon
Unforcasted weather
Safety of flight
Vacating an altitude
Final approach fixed inbound
Radio failures (com/nav)
Compulsory reporting points
500 - unable to maintain a +/- 500ft climb or descent

21
Q

What does TDZE mean

A

Touchdown zone elevation

Highest elevation (MSL) in first 3000’ of runway

22
Q

What does RVR mean

A

Runway visual range

Visibility expressed in feet

23
Q

Types of holding procedures

A

Radial (VOR 1 mins legs)
GPS (4nm legs)

24
Q

3 types of hold entries

A
  • Direct
    ○ Parallel
    ○ Teardrop
25
Q

What are the max speeds in a hold

A

Up to 6000’ 200kts
>6000’ - 14000’ 230kts
> 14000’ 265kts

26
Q

GPS hold

A
  • fix is a GPS waypoints
  • “abeam” point is when TO/FROM flag indications flips
  • impound course is reciprocal of “ course” given in holding instructions
27
Q

What is EFC

A

Expect further clearance

Time at which additional instructions should be provided

28
Q

Runway environment in sight for landing

A

Red, trucks, run, via, toll, roads

■ Red terminating bars
■ Threshold, Threshold markings, Threshold lights
■ Runway end indicator lights (REILs)
■ Visual glideslope indicator
■ Touchdown zone, touchdown markings, touchdown lights
■ Runway, runway markings, runway lights

29
Q

Approach categories

A

Tell you what minimums to use based
○ Stated by AFM/POH, or 1.3 * Vso at max. Gross weight
○ A 0-90
○ B 91-120
○ C 121-140
○ D 141-165
○ E>165

We fly approaches at 90kts so we will most always be in category A

30
Q

Runway declared distanced marked by D ( bolded box)

A

Found in chart supplement

31
Q

Pilot controlled lighting

A

○ Negative symbology A5
○ Black dot above A5 means sequenced flashing lights

32
Q

Approaching lights

A

○ Depicted on chart
○ Required to increase visibility depending on inop equipment type (see TPP
supplement)

33
Q

What does VDP mean

A

Visual decent point ( AIM 5-4-5 )

○ A defined point from which a descent using normal descent rate and normal maneuvers can be made from the MDA to touchdown point provided visual reference is established

34
Q

What does LPV mean

A

Localizer performance with vertical guidance

35
Q

Precision approach

A

Lateral guidance
Glide slope
Ground based equipment
(ILS 16 KADS)

36
Q

Approach with vertical guidance

A

LPV
Lateral guidance
Glide path
(RNAV 16 KADS)

37
Q

Non precision approach

A

Just later guidance

38

A

SHARPTT
Straight in
Holding in lieu of
Arc (DME)
Radar vectors
No Pt ( no procedure turn )

Teardrop

40
Q

What allows us to fly a LPV approach

A

WAAS
