Part 1, Section 2 - GENERAL PRINCIPLES

Question 1

All procedures depict _____. Pilots should attempt to maintain the _____ by applying corrections to _____ for _____.

Answer 1

All procedures depict tracks. Pilots should attempt to maintain the track by applying corrections to heading for known wind.

Question 2

The minimum final approach speed considered for a Category A aeroplane is _____. This is only critical when the missed approach point (MAPt) is specified by a distance from the final approach fix (FAF) (e.g. an “off aerodrome” NDB or VOR procedure).

Answer 2

The minimum final approach speed considered for a Category A aeroplane is 130 km/h (70 kt). This is only critical when the missed approach point (MAPt) is specified by a distance from the final approach fix (FAF) (e.g. an “off aerodrome” NDB or VOR procedure).

Question 3

FIX tolerance - DME

Answer 3

Fix tolerance is ±0.46 km (0.25 NM) + 1.25 per cent of distance to the antenna

Question 4

Fix tolerance overheading a VOR

Answer 4

d = 0.033 h (d in NM, h in thousands of feet).

For a cone angle of 50°, the accuracy of entry is ±5°. Tracking through the cone is assumed to be within an accuracy of ±5°

Question 5

Fix tolerance overheading a NDB

Answer 5

Entry into the cone is assumed to be achieved within an accuracy of ±15° from the prescribed track. Tracking through the cone is assumed to be within an accuracy of ±5°.
