06 Approach Control Flashcards
Define the term SID.
Standard Instrument Departure
How are Procedural SIDs identified?
Procedural SIDs are identified by the name of the first en route way-point, or by the name of a way-point within the SID, and the amendment status of the procedure
How are Radar SIDs identified?
Radar SIDs are identified by the name of the city in which the aerodrome is located, or the name of the aerodrome, and the amendment status of the procedure
Define the term STAR
Standard Arrival Route
What does a STAR clearance contain?
A STAR clearance contains:
a) STAR identifier;
b) a transition route when applicable;
c) a runway, when a STAR includes more than one arrival track; and
d) a level assignment.
What MET conditions are required for a visual approach by day?
When a flight other than that described in Clause 11.1.11.3 is within 30 NM of an aerodrome, a visual approach may be authorised by day or night for:
a) a VFR flight; or
b) an IFR flight when:
i) the pilot has established and can continue flight to the aerodrome with
continuous visual reference to the ground or water; and
ii) the visibility along the flight path is not less than 5000 m (or by day, the
aerodrome is in sight).
May level restrictions be placed on aircraft when cleared to make a visual approach?
No
The MSA displayed on instrument approach charts displays what obstacle clearance? Within what radius?
The lowest altitude which may be used which will provide a minimum
clearance of 1000 FT above all objects located in an area contained
within a sector of a circle of 25 NM or 10 NM radius centred on a
significant point, the ARP, or the HRP.
(Aerodrome reference point, Heliport Reference Point)
At what point does an instrument approach begin?
The Initial Approach Fix
Within what distance of an aerodrome, by day, may an aircraft commence a visual approach?
30 NM
