Check Jepp charts introduction section.
We generally will conduct a circle to land maneuver as a Category A aircraft as we slow to the appropriate Ref or Ref-ice speed far before we'd comence the maneuver.

What distance of obsticle protection would we be provided for by using Cat A circling minimums?
1.3 miles from the runway ends.

GOM I-03.40

Note: We don't circle IMC so technically we are providing our own obsticle clearance.
When on the circling maneuver what must remain in sight at all times?
An identifiable part of the airport.

GOM I-03.40

Note we don't circle IMC I've only included this information because it is in the GOM
If visual reference is lost during the circling maneuver except for normal maneuvering what must be accomplished?
Missed approach procedure.

GOM I-03.40
If conducting a visual approach where must you be with regards to airspace boundaries?
You must remain within ClassB,C,D or within 35 miles of the destination airport in Class E airspace.

GOM I-03.41
In order to request and recieve a visual approach clearance what must you see?
The airport or the proceeding landing aircraft.

1000-3

GOM I-03.41
If conducting a charted visual flight procedure(CVFP) what must be able to maintain visual contact with?
Either the airport or the charted visual lndmarks for the CVFP.

GOM I-03.41
If conducting a charted visual flight procedure(CVFP) what is the minimum ceiling and visibility requirements?
Whatever is listed on the CVFP.

GOM I-03.41
If on a visual approach whos responsibility is it to maintain aircraft seperation?
Yours.

GOM I-03.41
If you accept a visual approach have you cancelled your IFR status?
No.

GOM I-03.41

Note: So if your doing a visual to an uncontrolled airport and you didn't cancel in-flight you MUST cancel on the ground.
If you go missed from a missed approach what should you do?
You should await ATC instrucions and if at an uncontrolled airport you should remain VMC and land as soon as practical or remain VMC and obtain further clearance.

Seperation from other IFR traffic will be maintained under these circumstances.

GOM I-03.41
May we conduct contact approaches?
Yes.

GOM I-03.42
What conditions must be met to conduct a contact approach?
The crew must request and recieve clearance to perform the contact approach.

The crew must remain clear of clouds.

The reported visibility must be at or above the lowest visibility prescribed for any nonprecision approach to the runway of intended landing or 1 SM(RVR 5000) whichever is greater.

Flight visibility sufficient to avoid obstacles and safely maneuver

The airport must be insight and beable to maintain visual contact with it at all times

GOM I-03.42
If asked to side step to a dfferent runway and no side step minimums apply what minimums should you use?
Circling minimums.

Remember you can only descend to circling minimums if you meed the requirements such as no more than 30 degrees from runway of intended landing.;

GOM I-03.43
To navigate an approach using RNAV how must the approach be retrieved?
From the FMC database, the waypoints may not be loaded manually.

GOM I-03.44
May a localizer based approach be flown using FMC RNP procedures?
No

GOM I-03.44
Prior to initiating the final approach segment what must the flight crew do?
Verify that the ANP is equal to or less than the RNP specified for the approach.

GOM I-03.44
Inside the FAF unless in visual conditions the crew will execute a missed approach in the event of what?
In the event that the ANP becomes greater than the RNP specified for the approach.

GOM I-03.44
What is the lowest RNP authorized to be used?
RNP 0.3NM

GOM I-03.44
In order to conduct a RNAV or GPS approach using VNAV one of three conditions are met. What are these conditions?
Final approach course of RNAV approach must allign with RNAV procedure with DA(H)

or

The runway the RNAV wih DA(H) serves has a VASI or PAPI

or

There is a ILS for that runway with a published glideslope.

GOM I-03.45
What must the VNAV path angle be between to conduct an RNAV approach using VNAV?
Between 2.75-3.77 degrees.

GOM I-03.45
Can we conduct LAHSO?
Yes.

GOM I-03.46
What group aircraft are we regarding LAHSO?
Group 4.

GOM I-03.46
Regarding LAHSO operations what is the significance of being a group 4 aircraft?
It means that we need a minimum Available Landing distance of 4000 feet.

GOM I-03.46
If th runway is other than dry may we conduct LAHSO?
Yes however it is a ATC limitation to not conduct LAHSO unless the runway is dry.

GOM I-03.46
What are the pilot limitations of LAHSO operations?
No zero flap approaches
No tailwind
No windshear within past 20 min
Night LAHSO must have stop lighting
Vertical guidance either electronic or visual
Rejected landing prodedures if required

GOM I-03.46
Where is the list of airports we may conduct LAHSO operations?
Normal section of GOM

GOM I-03.46
May we conduct operations to uncontrolled airports?
Technically, No, but you know its actually Yes.

The reason is that in GOM-I-06.05 it clearly states that the airport must "have a suitable means for the PIC to acquire air traffic advisories and the status of airport services and facilities (ATC or CTAF).

However GOM I-03.47 subpart 3 also clearly states that if due to delays the flight is to arrrive outside of the time when the controlled airspace is not operational provided the flight was scheduled to arrive at a time when Class D services were available.

GOM I-03.47 & GOM I-06.05
May the company use an uncontrolled airport as a weather alternate?
Yes so long that at the time of operation to that airport it met the requirments of GOM I-06.05 AIRPORTS.

GOM I-03.47
When flying into an uncontrolled aiport what traffic pattern should be flown?
Left traffic unless otherwise stated.

GOM I-03.47
What altitude should you enter the traffic pattern at an uncontrolled airport?
1500' AGL.

GOM I-03.47
When should you begin to listen to CTAF at an uncontrolled feild?
When within 10 minutes of the airport.

GOM I-03.47

Note; Beware of aircraft with no radios.
When departing an uncontrolled airport when should you start broadcasting position reports on CTAF and when should you stop?
Prior to aircraft movement and until climbing through 3000' AGL or passing 5 miles from the airport. Unless ATC requests otherwise.

GOM I-03.47
When should you begin to broadcast your position when approaching to land at an uncontrolled airport?
When within 5 miles of the airport and any time entering a different portion of the traffic pattern.

GOM I-03.47
All departures from uncontrolled aiports must abide by what?
The departure procedure established for that airport.

GOM I-03.47
What are some things to consider when arriving IFR to an uncontrolled airport?
Only 1 IFR aircraft at a time in the airspace.

Expect other aircraft to be executing holding procedures or full approaches.

Unless you have recieved a through clearance you must cancel your IFR flight plan as soon as possible to free the airspace for more IFR traffic.

GOM I-03.47
When may you cancel IFR inflight?
VFR conditions must be present.
Visual with the landing surface must be established and maintained.
The fliht crew has anounced their position on CTAF.
A feild condition report has been obtained.

GOM I-03.47
If tower is closed what are some approved sources of meteorological information?
Flight Service Station
ASOS or AWOS

GOM I-03.47
Are single engine turns permitted?
Yes at less congested airports and ramp location subject to local policies.
