How to determine the circling area |

|
Hold Entry Description: Sector 1 |
Parallel: On reaching the holding fix turn on to the reciprocal of the holding pattern inbound track for the appropriate time/distance. Turn on to the holding side to intercept the inbound track until reaching the fix. Turn to follow holding pattern |
|
|
Hold Entry Description: Sector 2 |
Offset: On reaching the holding fix turn on to a heading to make a track to make an angle of 30 degrees from the reciprocal of the inbound track on the holding side. A/C is flown outbound for appropriate time/distance. Turn to intercept inbound holding track until reaching the holding fix. Turn to follow the holding pattern |
|
|
Hold Entry Description: Sector 3 |
Parallel: On reaching the holding fix turn to follow the holding pattern |

|
|
Radio Calls: What is the rtf requirement following an instruction to change ATC unit or sector frequency when you are identified |
Call sign and cruising level or Callsign climbing/descending to what alt |
|
|
Visual Approach Requirements |
Must request visual approach Can maintain visual reference to terrain The reported ceiling is not below the approved initial approach level the a/c is so cleared Met conditions will permit a visual approach There is reasonable assurance the landing can be accomplished |
|
|
Provisional Rating minima and purpose |
2500ft ceiling 5km vis Used to punch through clouds to complete VMC Ops above or to descend through cloud for a visual landing (not to shoot approaches) |
|
|
Visual Requirements for Descent Below MDA (9 total) |
ALS Touchdown zone markings Touchdown zone lights Threshold lighting Threshold markings RWY lights REIL RWY or RWY markings Visual approach slope (PAPI) |
|
|
IFR arrival at an uncontrolled aerodrome with traffic in the circuit. What can you descend to |
1200ft AGL |
|
|
Remote QNH calculation and when is it applicable |
(Distance from QNH source aerodrome to your location - 5) x 5 = Altitude in feet added to MDA. May be used unless aerodrome plate stipulates that you can't |
|
|
RNAV accuracy |
On track x95% of the time/confidence |
|
|
What does the term RNP1 mean with regards to lateral tracking under PBN |
Remain within 1NM for 95% of the time and withing 2NM 99.999% of time on the lateral track (x)95% confidence 2(x)99.999% confidence ANP vs RNP - Will provide an alert to NAV PFD |
|
|
Requirements for a Descent Below MDA/DA |
Continously in a position to land with normal maneuvering in the Touchdown zone Able to maintain within the appropriate circling area Visibility not less than the minimum prescribed on the plate At least one visual reference for the intended runway is visable |
|
|
What is IMC |
Instrument Meteorological Conditions: Expressed in terms of visibility, distance from cloud and ceiling less than specified for visual met conditions. Requires IFR to be applied |
|
|
Requirements for Actual vs Simulated IF |
Actual refers to sole reference to instruments Simulated requires the use if a safety pilot who can maintain a visual lookout |
|
|
Can you operate in the transition layer |
Yes (when requested through ATC or confirmation of deconfliction in uncontrolled airspace) |
|
|
What are the timings in a hold |
Below 14000ft - 1 min Above 14000ft - 1.5 min Or whatever distance from the station is nominated on the plate |
|
|
What are the turns you do in a hold and when do you start the timings |
Rate 1 turns Timings for outbound leg begin when wings roll level or Abram the holding fix (whichever occurs later) |
|
|
What types of turns are used in IFR |
Rate 1 turn - 3 degrees per sec - 180 degrees in 60 seconds |
|
|
Rate 1 turn calculation |
AOB = (TAS/10) + 7 Up to 25 degrees |
|
|
Define MSA |
Minimum safe altitude due terrain highest obstacle rounded up 100ft plus 1000ft (2000ft in mountains). A 5NM radius from ENR track |
|
|
Define MEA |
Minimum enroute altitude for NDB coverage |
|
|
Define MRA |
Minimum reception altitude for VOR coverage |
|
|
Define MFA |
Minimum flight altitude takes into account MSA, MEA, MRA, VHZ, Danger and restricted areas and cruising levels |
|
|
Cruising Levels |
IFR 1000s VFR 500s North Odd South Even |
|
|
What lines dictate Above, Below and At on plates for routes |
Above - Underlined Below - A line above At - A line above and below |
|
|
Cleared visual approach meaning (laterally and vertically) |
Laterally - A/c are to join finals by the shortest practical means Vertically - Further Descent is unrestricted unless an ATC specific restriction is imposed |
|
|
Fuel working requirements |
Pre takeoff - 50lb Ground Handling - 50lb Min fuel - 100lb Enroute - 3lb per NM Holding - 100lb Approach/Landing - 70lb Diversion - Missed approach - Transit to alternate - Approach at alternate Contingency - + 5% to enroute and diversion |
|
|
SID performance if unspecified |
Climb on centerline until 400ft above departure end of RWY CAT B max IAS 165kts assuming average 15 degrees AOB 3.3% Climb gradient |
|
|
Where does the SID start |
16 ft above departure end of RWY |
|
|
RAIM, definition and how many satellites to detect a fault (FDE) |
Receiver Autonomous Intergrity Monitoring It assess the strength of a GPS signal and detects any faults. Requires 4 to get a fix Requires 5 to detect a fault Requires 6 to discover which satellite the fault lies with (Fault detection and Exlusion) |
|
|
What is DH |
The height you must make a decision to either land or go around from based on threshold elevation (AGL) |
|
|
What is MDA |
Minimum Descent Altitude. It is the altitude at which you must have made a decision before you reach and you cannot go through unless you have the criteria to land |
|
|
RVSM. What are the altitudes it is relevant at and can the texan operate at the altitudes |
Reduced Vertical Seperation Minima. Above FL290 a/c equipped with RVSM can be reduced down to 1000ft vertical separation from the normal 2000ft. Texans can only operate above FL290 after notifying ATC that we don't have RVSM |
