|
what does the lightning bolt represent on an approach plate
|
FAF for a precision approach and the glideslope intercept point
|
|
|
what does the maltese cross represent on an approach plate
|
the FAF for a non-precision approach
|
|
|
how are the approach categories (A,B,C,D, and E) determined
|
they are determined by an aircraft's approach speed
|
|
|
what category is the b737
|
approach category c
|
|
|
what approach category is the b737 on a circling approach
|
approach category d (add 1 category when circling approach) ex. C=>D
|
|
|
where is the TCH (threshold crossing height) located on an approach plate
|
in the profile view below the degrees of glideslope
|
|
|
what are the 4 components of an ILS approach
|
glideslope - vertical guidance
localizer - course guidance, left or right of centerline approach lights - gives pilot visual cues marker beacons - range info |
|
|
how do pilots execute a missed approach
|
by following the missed approach instructions on the approach plate
|
|
|
are obstacles on the approach plate referred to in AGL or MSL
|
MSL
|
|
|
what type of approach uses an MDA (min descent altitude)
|
any non-precision approach uses and MDA
|
|
|
on an ILS approach, if the glideslop is lost, what kind of approach is available
|
a localizer approach
|
|
|
name the three ILS categories
|
look in notes cat I, I (centerline), II (restricted), II, IIIa, IIIb, IIIc
|
|
|
what requirements must be met by a pilot in order to remove the cat II restriction
|
when a pilot makes 3 cat II approaches to a 150 ft DH within the previous 6 months the restriction is removed
|
|
|
what special requirements must be met in order to fly a cat II or III approach
|
the aircraft must be specially equipped for ILS cat II/III landings, the aircrew must be specially trained for ILS cat II/III landings, and the airport must be equipped for ILS cat II/III landings
|
|
|
on the lower right hand corner of an approach plate, there are some numbers - knots/minutes/seconds. what is it there for
|
it is used for non-precision approaches only, and it is used to determine the time from the FAF to the MAP
|
|
|
1 what does the black triangle with the letter A inside represent on an approach plate
2 what if there is an N/A next to the A |
1 non standard alternate minimums apply for that airport
2 it means that it is not available as an alternate |
|
|
what are standard alternate weather minimums
|
600-2 precision
800-2 nonprecision |
|
|
what does an upside down triangle with the letter T inside represent on an approach plate
|
non standard takeoff minimums apply to that airport
|
|
|
what are standard takeoff visibility minimums
|
2 engine jet - 1 SM visibility no ceilings
3 engine jet - 1/2 SM visibility no ceilings the standard climb rate requirement is 200 ft per NM traveled |
|
|
if an approach plate says RADAR REQUIRED, what does that mean
|
it means that in order to fly this approach, ATCs radar must be working. it has nothing to do with weather radar
|
|
|
if a pilot is flying a non-precision approach, will there be a DH or a MDA
|
MDA
DH is only for precision |
|
|
what type of approach uses a HAA (height above airport) instead of HAT (height above touchdown)
|
a circling approach uses HAA
|
|
|
if an airport is below landing minimums, when a flight is coming in to land, what options are available to the pilots
|
hold as long as possible until actual visibility comes up to published minimums, or divert to the alternate to refuel
|
|
|
if an airport is reporting a ceiling below landing minimums but the visibility above landing minimum, can the pilot fly the approach and try to land
|
an airline flight can try to fly the approach as long as the visibility is reported above minimum. it cannot land unless both the visibility and the ceiling is above the landing minimums as described in the approach plates
|
|
|
can you dispatch a flight if the destination airport is reporting and/or forecasting weather below published minimums
|
no
|
|
|
what are the standard minimums for listing an airport as an alternate
|
600-2
800-2 |
|
|
what is the difference between 600-2 and 800-2
|
600-2 precision
800-2 non precision |
