|
If lost comms after beginning en route descent, what approach can you fly?
|
You are automatically cleared for any published approach
|
|
|
Proper descent rate
|
Descend at aircraft's optimum rate until within 1000 ft above assigned altitude, then descend at 500-1500 fpm
|
|
|
Advise ATC if unable to descend at:
|
500 fpm
|
|
|
Descent gradients in excess of _____ in IMC may induce spatial D
|
10 deg (1000 ft/nm)
|
|
|
Before starting descent:
|
Review IAP, recheck weather (if app), check heading and altitude systems, coordinate lost comm (if required)
|
|
|
Max Airspeed below 10000 MSL
|
250 KIAS
|
|
|
When can you descend on radar vectors?
|
Maintain last assigned altitude and heading until established on a segment of published approach or route
|
|
|
Established on course
|
VOR/TACAN/RNAV/GPS: Half full scale deflection; NDB: +/-5 deg; LOC based course: Within full scale deflection
|
|
|
What routing do you use if cleared for an approach while en route to a holding fix?
|
Proceed to IAF via the holding fix unless specifically told to proceed direct to IAF; if IAF is along route of flight to the holding fix then begin approach at IAF
|
|
|
What do you do if cleared for an approach while established in holding?
|
Complete the holding pattern; don't turn early unless specifically cleared
|
|
|
When can you use normal lead points?
|
If within 90 deg of approach course; outside of 90 you will need to request maneuvering airspace
|
|
|
When can you descend on High Altitude Penetration?
|
When abeam or past IAF on parallel or intercept heading to course
|
|
|
Reduce to _____________ before reahching the ____________.
|
Reduce to maneuvering airspeed prior to reacing the IAF (low alt app)
|
|
|
MVA Obstacle Protection
|
1000 ft (2000 ft mts)
|
|
|
Radar vectoring requirements (ceiling at least 500 above MVA, vis at least 3 SM)
|
1 mile from FAF at 20 deg or 3 miles from FAF at 30 deg
|
|
|
Radar vectoring requirements (all wx)
|
3 miles from FAF at 30 deg
|
|
|
Are controllers required to vector you at an altitude below glideslope for a precision app?
|
Yes
|
|
|
Required ATC readbacks:
|
Headings, altitudes (departing and assigned), altimeter settings
|
|
|
When should you configure?
|
Establish final app configuration and airspeed prior to the FAF
|
|
|
If you are cleared for a STAR ("cleared the xxx Arrival") do you comply with STAR altitudes?
|
No, maintain last assigned altitude
|
|
|
If you are told to DESCEND VIA a STAR can you laterally and vertically comply with STAR?
|
Yes
|
|
|
Is clearance for a STAR clearance for an approach?
|
No
|
