Question 3

When runway centreline lights alternate red/white how far from end of runway?

Answer 3

900m

Question 4

For type of altimeter minima bugs are set for CATI/II/III Approach?

Cat I - Baro / CATII/III - Rad

Question 5

For LVTO with an RVR of 125m what is the max spacing of centre line lights?

Answer 5

15m

Question 6

In the absence of a TDZ RVR how many centre line lights must be visible from the flight deck?

Answer 6

10

Question 7

When calculating landing distance for an autoland, what is the min correction that should be made to the unfactored landing distance?

Answer 7

+125m for NON Winglet
+140m for Winglet

Question 8

Should the RVR fall below minima after passing 1000ft, can approache be continued

Answer 8

Yes - To DA/DH

Question 9

How is a CATII approach defined?

Answer 9

Precision approach, DH less than 200ft but more than 100ft, an minmum RVR of 300m or more

Question 10

What is a Fail Operational Automatic Landing System?

Answer 10

In the event of a component or system failure, the aircraft can continue with a fully automatic landing in Fail Passive mode

Question 11

Answer 11

RVR less than 400m

Question 12

Min RVR for LVTO?

Answer 12

125m

Question 13

What is the ILS sensitive area?

Answer 13

Area beyond Critical Area where movement of aircraft and vehicles is controlled to prevent interference with the ILS signals during LVPs

Question 14

How would you know you’re clear of the ILS sensitive area after landing

Answer 14

Entire aircraft has passed beyond point where taxiway centre line lights change from yellow/green to green
