|
Refer to en route and terminal charts
|
|
|
Do feeder routes provide an altitude above MSA?
|
Yes
|
|
|
Minimum Safe Altitude (MSA)
|
1000 ft of obstacle clearance within specified distance
|
|
|
Minimum Sector Altitude (MSA)
|
1000 ft of obstacle clearance within 25 NM (used when different sectors shown on MSA ring)
|
|
|
Emergency Safe Altitude (ESA)
|
1000 ft of obstcle clearance (2000 ft in mts) within 100 NM of facility
|
|
|
Does an MSA provide NAVAID reception?
|
Not necessarily
|
|
|
Scale of inner ring on IAP
|
10 NM (20 NM for high app) (Info outside of inner ring may not be to scale)
|
|
|
For IAP, the initial descent gradient will not exceed:
|
500 ft/nm (Low IAP), 1000 ft/NM (High IAP)
|
|
|
For a straight in, what mins are required?
|
Visibility only
|
|

|
|
|
Ceiling for circling app without listed ceiling requirement: |
HAA+100 ft rounded up to next 100 ft value |
|
|
Touchdown zone elevation (TDZE)
|
Highest point on first 3000 ft of landing surface
|
|
|
Field elevation
|
Highest point on any usable landing surface
|
|
|
How far off from runway centerline can a straight-in app be?
|
30 deg
|
|
|
What does A/NA mean?
|
The specific approach cannot be used to qualify the field as an alternate (due to lack of wx reporting facility and/or unmonitored NAVAID)
|
|

|
Yes
|
|
|

|
|
|
Are climb gradients based off physical end of runway or the declared distance?
|
Physical runway
|
|
|
Touch and Go at field with declared distance:
|
