Instrument part 2 - Instrument approach procedures; Non-precision (Day 12)

Question 1

4 IAP segments:

Answer 1

Initial approach
Intermediate approach
Final approach
Missed approach

Question 2

2 things all non-precision approaches have in common:

Answer 2

1. No electronic glideslope (no vertical guidance)

2. Has a MDA

Question 3

When can you fly below MDS

Answer 3

When you have sufficient visual reference of the runway and the A/C is in a position where a safe approach and landing can be made.

Question 4

3 types nonprecision approaches

Answer 4

NDB
VOR
LOC

LP
LNAV
ASR (airport surveillance radar)

Question 5

RNAV is short for:

Answer 5

Random area navigation

Question 6

LP is short for:

Answer 6

Localizer Performance

Question 7

Approach procedure restrictions

Answer 7

• Local altimeter setting information
• Maximum KIAS limit
• 5NM airspace limit
• Visibility reduction by helicopter NA

Question 8

2 types of course reversal:

Answer 8

Procedure turns

Holding pattern in leu of procedure turn

Question 9

4 common techniques for a procedure turn

Answer 9

• Teardrop pattern
• Standard 45degree turn (45/280)
• 80/260 course reversal
• Holding/racetrack pattern

Question 10

When not to do procedure turns:

Answer 10

• Cleared for Straight in approach
• Flying via NoPt route
• When established in holding and subsequently cleared for the approach and the holding course and PT course are the same.
• When on radar vectors
• ATC cleares the aircraft for timed approach

Question 11

When can you decent to the next appropriate altitude?

Answer 11

• After radar vectors to final
• Procedure turn inbound
• Feeder route with no Pt

Question 12

Before you can begin decent you must be:

Answer 12

Cleared for the approach
Established on the Final Approach Course
Within the distance specified in the profile view

Question 13

IAF indicates:

Answer 13

The beginning of the initial approach segment(s)

Question 14

FAF indicates:

Answer 14

The beginning of the final approach segment

Question 15

FAP is short for:

Answer 15

Final Approach Point

Question 16

Missed approach options:

Answer 16

• Require ATC clearance
• Request additional approaches provided fuel, including reserve, is adequate
• Request to proceed to alternate
• Call FFS to file flight plan to your alternate

Question 17

Missed approach climb rate:

Answer 17

All approaches (except Copters) - 200ft/nm
Copter - 400ft/nm

Answer 18

2*

Question 19

When flying a localizer approach, what is acceptable tracking tolerance?

Answer 19
