Ref: CR7/9 OM 3-7.9
What is the goal of a Constant Rate Non-Precision Approach?
The goal of a constant rate non-precision approach is to maintain a constant rate of descent
throughout the final approach segment. Descent rates approximating a 3 degree glidepath are
published on most Jeppesen approach plates. An artificial “decision point” will be created by
adding 50‟ to the MDA. The new decision point is called the DDA (derived decision altitude) and
will be treated like a DH/DA on a precision approach. Upon reaching the DDA, make the decision
to continue to a landing, or execute a missed approach. There is no reason to calculate a VDP as
the aircraft is on an approximate 3 degree glidepath from the descent point to touchdown. There is
no level off at the DDA. After the DDA, utilize all visual clues if continuing to land. Adjust the
descent rate in order to fly a normal glidepath and land in the touchdown zone. In order to
maintain a stabilized approach, do not exceed a sustained descent rate of 1000 fpm after passing
the FAF. Arriving the DDA with no visual cues or if not in a position from which a safe landing can
be made, execute a missed approach. If reaching the MAP prior to the DDA, execute a missed
approach. During any missed approach, delay turns until reaching the Missed Approach Point
(MAP) to ensure proper obstacle clearance.
Ref: CR7/9 OM 10-5.11 through 14
How is the descent rate calculated for a CANPA approach?
On most Jeppesen approach plates, a descent angle will be indicated from the FAF to the missed
approach point (MAP). An approach flown on that angle allows for a landing in the touchdown
zone after crossing the threshold at approximately 50 feet. A corresponding conversion table in
the block below the profile view provides a recommended rate of descent based on ground speed.
The rate of descent should be rounded up to the nearest 100‟. Flight crews may deviate the
published descent guidance once established on the inbound course of it becomes obvious that
the aircraft if above the descent path, or if the actual ground speed is significantly different from the
planned ground speed.
If no descent angle or vertical speed is depicted, use 900‟ per minute rate of descent when passing
the FAF. Do not exceed a sustained rate of 1000 FPM after passing the FAF.
Ref: CR7/9 OM 10-5.11 through 5.14
When conducting CANPA, what precautions apply to approaches with a step down fix?
Although most approaches start the descent at the FAF, there may be a crossing altitude
restriction inside the FAF. If the aircraft stays on or approximates the published descent angle it is
assured to remain above the crossing altitude. It is however, the Flight Crew‟s responsibility to
remain above any step-down fix altitude.
Ref: CR7/9 OM 10-5.13
Describe the procedure for setting the missed approach altitude on a CANPA?
Prior to crossing the FAF the crew should set the missed approach altitude in the altitude alerter. If
the initial approach altitude and missed approach altitude are the same value, set the altitude
alerter 100‟ above the missed approach altitude. In the case where the initial approach altitude is
higher than the missed approach altitude, it will be necessary to set the altitude alerter 100‟ above
the initial approach altitude. This will allow the autopilot to descend from the initial approach
altitude when reaching the FAF. Once the aircraft has descended below the missed approach
altitude it will be necessary to have the PM reset the messed altitude. After commencing the
descent at the Final Approach Fix (FAF), reset the altitude alerter to the published missed
approach altitude. This technique allows the autopilot to descend from the initial approach altitude.

What standard callout should the PM make at 1000 feet AGL on approach?
“ INSTRUMENTS CROSS CHECKED, GEAR DOWN, CLEARED TO LAND”
Ref: CR7/9 OM 3-7.9 CR7/9 OM 8-1.6
.What call outs should the PM make at the final approach fix, during a non-precision
approach profile?
“FINAL FIX”, PF will select or call for “VERTICAL SPEED” “START TIME”
Ref: CR7/9 OM 3-7.9 CR7/9 OM 8-1.6
At what point during a non-precision approach should the missed approach altitude be set
in the altitude selector?
Prior to crossing the FAF the crew should set the missed approach altitude in the altitude alerter. If
the initial approach altitude and missed approach altitude are the same value, set the altitude
alerter 100‟ above the missed approach altitude. In the case where the initial approach altitude is
higher than the missed approach altitude, it will be necessary to set the altitude alerter 100‟ above
the initial approach altitude. This will allow the autopilot to descend from the initial approach
altitude it will be necessary to have the PM reset the missed altitude. After commencing with
descent at the Final Approach Fix (FAF), reset the altitude alerter to the published missed
approach altitude. This technique allows the autopilot to descend from the initial approach altitude.

What Profile Deviation callout should the PM make for a VOR approach deviation?
“1/3 DOT LEFT/RIGHT OF COURSE”
Ref: CR7/9 OM 3-7.10, Practical Test Standards, and Nonprecision Approaches
What Profile Deviation callout should the PM make for a NDB approach deviation?
“5 LEFT/RIGHT OF COURSE”
Ref: CR7/9 OM 3-7.10
How is an LDA with glide slope approach profile flown?
The same as a standard ILS.
Ref: CR7/9 OM 3-7.6
In what configuration should you enter the traffic pattern for a visual approach?
Flaps 8, 180 KIAS at 1,500 AGL.
Ref: CR7/9 OM 8-1.3 CR7/9 OM 10-5.1
What weather minimums are required to initiate a circling approach?
1,000 foot ceiling and 3 miles visibility.
Ref: CR7/9 OM 3-7.11
What are the differences between the circle to land profile and the normal approach
profile?
Maintain flaps 30 VREF + 10 (maneuvering speed) until on final approach and in a position from
which a normal descent to landing can be commenced.
Ref: CR7/9 OM 3-7.11 & 12, OM 10-5.15
During the circle to land profile what altitude should be set in the MDA window?
Published circling minimums for that approach.
Ref: CR7/9 OM 3-7.11 & 12 CR7/9 OM 10-5.15
.During the circle to land profile what altitude should be set in the altitude alerter?
The altitude alerter is set to the missed approach altitude after completing the last step down prior
to the final approach fix.
Ref: CR7/9 OM 3-7.12 & 10-5.15
What altitude should be referenced, when making the 100/200 feet to MDA calls during the
circle to land profile?
The DDA (1,000‟ HAA + 50‟ or applicable published circling MDA + 50‟)
Ref: CR7/9 OM 8-1.7
Which Landing Check item requires a response from the PF?
PM “GEAR.........DOWN” PF “VERIFIED”
Ref: CR7/9 OM 2-13.1
At what speed can the First Officer expect the Captain to take the controls during the
landing rollout?
Prior to 60 knots.
Ref: CR7/9 OM 3-7.14
If the First Officer is PF what call does the Captain make prior to 60 knots?
“I have the controls.”
Ref: CR7/9 OM 3-7.15
At what point should the Captain call for the After Landing Checklist?
When clear of the runway.
Ref: CR7/9 OM 3-7.14 CR7/9 OM 2-14.1
What type of checklist is the After Landing Checklist?
First Officer SILENT
Ref: CR7/9 OM 2-14.1
When is the Fuel Check Valve Check required to be performed?
During the Engine Start Check and the Shutdown Check on the first flight of the day for that
aircraft.
