Terminal Flashcards
Holding in Controlled Airspace - depart hold
Leave holding fix on time or up to 1 minute ahead of time
Holding limitations - Speed
230 - up to and inc FL140
240 - above 140 up to and inc FL 200
265 - above 200
Holding limitations - outbound timing
Abeam fix or attaining outbound heading - whichever comes later
Holding - Time/Distance outbound
No longer than:
1 min or time or distance specified on chart - up to and inc FL140
1.5 mins or time or distance specified on chart - above FL140
Holding - turns
Nil wind - 25 degrees or rate one (/10 + 7), which requires LESSER bank
Holding - Wind Allowance
Allowance in heading and timing so inbound track regained before passing holding fix inbound
Holding - Exiting
ATC, jet aircraft must leave en route holding at 250 IAS unless otherwise published or advised by ATC (pilot may request variation to this)
Entry into Holding Pattern - zone of flexibility
5 degrees
Entry into Holding Pattern - Entry from sector 1 (parallel)
Turn onto outbound for appropriate time or DME distance limit, then turn onto holding side to intercept inbound track or return to fix - on second arrival aircraft turned to follow holding patter
Entry into Holding Pattern - Sector 2 (offset)
Reaching fix, turned on heading to MAKE GOOD TRACK angle of 30 degrees from reciprocal inbound track
Then flown outbound for appropriate period of time up to maximum 1 min, 30 seconds or if earlier, DME limiting distance
Then aircraft turned direction of holding pattern to intercept fix
On second arrival, aircraft turned follow holding pattern
Entry into Holding Pattern - Sector 3
Reaching fix, turn to following holding pattern - outbound timing abeam or when abeam can’t be determined, from completion of outbound turn
Entry into Holding Pattern - DME arc entry
Reaching fix, enter pattern by sector 1 or 3 ONLY
Holding Pattern - DME limit
DME distance which outbound leg should be terminated and turn to reciprocal track commenced
Holding Pattern - shortening
Pilot may shorten to leave fix at specified time. Prolonged holding not limited by obstacles, length of pattern may be increase subject ATC approval
Holding Pattern - descent in
Subject ATC approval
Standard instrument departures - gradient
Where initial exceeds 3.3%, altitude at which 3.3% may be flown is also shown
Gradient shown in brackets indicates minimum % remain in controlled airspace
Climb gradient of RADAR SID - when may cease?
Aircraft reaches MSA/LSALT
SID priority meet vertical navigation - speed restrictions unable to meet SID level?
Pilot advise ATC of speed deviation requirement at ACD stage or as soon as situation identified, and advise ATC when able resume SID speed restrictions
Jet aircraft departing class C- at or before 3000 or completion of noise abatement
- commence acceleration 250 IAS
2. maintain 250 until leaving 10000 ft AMSL
Use of GNSS- following restrictions GPS arrival
- database current
- coordinates to not capable of modification
- GPS integrity available prior descent below MSA/LSALT
- nominated azimuth aid (VOR or NDB) use to provide track guidance
- any time during approach cause doubt validity of GPS (e.g. RAIm warning) or GPS lost (RAIM not available), pilot conduct missed approach
STARs - more than 1 instrument termination procedure?
Must plan fly procedure listed first. and if not avail (e.g. ILS not avail.), plan for next listed procedure
STAR - operational requirement or pilot request alternative instrumentation termination proc?
request prior to STAR being issued
PBN/T1 in Field 18 of flight notification
Normally issued STAR with RNP AR termination or expectation or RNP AR approach
Noise Abatement Procedures - when not determining factor as to runway choice
- conditions low cloud, poor vis, TS
- dry runway - cross wind inc gust exceed 20 knots
tail inc gust exceed 5 - not completely dry, crosswind inc gust exceed 20
there IS a tailwind component - wind shear reported
- opinion of PIC, safety prejudiced by runway conditions or other operational consideration
Instrument Approach / Takeoff Procedures - circling restrictions apply
By day less than VMC and night
