Instrument part 2 - Instrument approach procedures; Precision (Day 13)

Question 1

Precision approach definition:

Answer 1

A precision approach is a standard instrument approach procedure in which an electronic glide slope or other type of glidepath is provided.

Question 2

When can you go below DA:

Answer 2

• Sufficient visual reference

- Being able to execute a safe approach and landing

Question 3

2 (Approved) Types of precision approaches:

Answer 3

ILS - Instrument landing system

GCA PAR - ground controlled approach / precision approach radar

Question 4

3 ILS categories:

Answer 4

1 - Approach with a HAT normaly down to max 200’ and with rvr down to 1800’
2 - HAT no less than 100’, RVR no less than 1200’
3 - special pilot, A/C and runway requirements must be followed

Question 5

difference between a precision and non precision approach:

Answer 5

Precision approach has electronic glide slope and a DA

Question 6

APV is short for:

Answer 6

Approach with vertical guidance

Question 7

With a LOC freq what is half deflection on the CDI?

Answer 7

1*

Question 8

Recommended hdg changes when localizer courses intercepted:

Answer 8

5* or less

Question 9

When using glide slope indicator when should you prepare for glide slope intercept?

Answer 9

As the glide slope indicator moves downward from its upper limits
