When the stopway is of less strength than the runway it is indicated by&raquo_space;»»»»>

12
Q

A

PCA is airspace in the vicinity of high-density airports with highly congested airspace, such as Narita, Tokyo, Sendai, Naha and Fukuoka etc.

15
Q

How is reported tower wind direction and velocity broadcast?

A

In magnetic bearing with 10-degree increments, and one knot increments

16
Q

Is a “ready” call required in Japan?

A

No, a controller should regard a turbine aircraft ready for departure when approaching the departure point, unless otherwise the pilot informs that take-off preparations are not yet completed. Therefore, a pilot is not required to inform “ready” unless otherwise requested by ATC

The following items must be included in an airways clearance, at least 5 minutes prior to EOBT:

  • Destination
  • Altitude
  • Parking location
19
Q

When should the pilot activate the transponder?

A

A pilot should activate the transponder prior to take-off as late or possible, and deactivate it after completing the landing roll as soon as possible. A taxiing aircraft is required to set it ON when either starting push back or commencing taxi at Narita, Tokyo, Kansai, Osaka, and Fukuoka

20
Q

When requested to report clear of the runway, when may an aircraft report clear?

A

An aircraft is clear of the runway when all parts of the aircraft comes beyond the stop line

21
Q

What is the meaning of a steady green light from tower to an aircraft?

A

Cleared to take-off / land

22
Q

What is the meaning of a steady red light from the tower to an aircraft?

A

Give way to other aircraft and continue circling

23
Q

When should a pilot change frequency from tower to departures?

A

A pilot should not change frequency until instructed by tower, even if a departure frequency is informed on the ATIS, or airways clearance prior to airborne

24
Q

What is the speed tolerance to be maintained?

A

Pilots should maintain a speed of +- 10kts or +- 0.02M

25
Q

A standard holding pattern requires turns in which direction?

A

RIGHT hand turns

26
Q

What timing is required for a standard holding pattern?

A
  • At or below 14,000ft = One minute outbound

- Above 14,000ft = One and a half minutes outbound

27
Q

What are the maximum holding speeds when holding at a navaid?

A
  • 0 to 6000ft = 210kts
  • 6001ft to 14,000ft = 220kts

  • 14,001ft or higher = 265kts
29
Q

What is the maximum holding speed in turbulence?

A

280kts or 0.80M whichever is less. The protected area is generally predicated on the non-turbulent conditions and therefore, the pilot should inform ATC when the speed for turbulent conditions is required

30
Q

When applying a lateral offset, what side of track should this be done, and by how many miles?

A

The offset shall be established at a distance of one or two miles to the RIGHT of track by setting on the FMS

31

A

2.5nm

32
Q

What is the minimum vertical separation during circling for a category D aircraft?

A

550ft

33
Q

What is the VDP?

A

The visual descent point is established at a certain point on the final approach course at which the lowest flight path dictated by the PAPI reaches MDA, in order to conduct an adequate descent to the touch down point

34
Q

Should a pilot descend prior to the VDP if the runway or visual reference is in sight?

A

A pilot should maintain MDA until crossing VDP even if the runway or visual references are sighted prior to VDP

35
Q

What is the rated coverage of the ILS glideslope?

A

10nm

36
Q

What is the rated coverage of the ILS localiser?

A

Where no topographical features dictate, it is rated to 25nm. Where topographical features do dictate, it is rated to 18nm

37
Q

What is a CAT I approach?

A

Operations to an RVR of 550m or greater, with a DH of 200ft or higher

38
Q

What is the required manoeuvre if a missed approach is required prior to the MAPt?

A

The pilot should initiate a go-around and fly on the instrument approach route segment as published to the MAPt, then follow the missed approach procedures

39
Q

What is the required manoeuver if a missed approach is required during circling?

A

In principle, climb out toward the landing runway, or direction presumed to be the centre of the airport

40
Q

If a speed adjustment has been issued after being cleared for approach, when is it terminated automatically?

A

The speed shall be maintained up until one of the following:

  • The outer marker or equivalent DME fix, or 5nm from touchdown, whichever is closer during an ILS approach
  • Turning base, or 5nm from the threshold whichever is closer during a visual approach
  • 5nm from touchdown when neither of the above are applicable
41
Q

What is the pilot in commands authority during actions in an emergency?

A

The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to the operation of that aircraft. In an emergency requiring immediate action, it may be difficult to comply with any of the prescribed procedures or ATC instructions in order to cope with the emergency. If an emergency action is taken that deviates from the provisions of an ATC clearance, the pilot in command shall promptly notify ATC, and when normal operations are resumed, obtain a clearance as much as possible

42
Q

What phraseology is required during a TCAS RA?

A

As soon as possible, notify the appropriate ATC unit of any RA as follows:

  • “TCAS RA”
  • “CLEAR OF CONFLICT, RETURN TO (assigned clearance)
  • “CLEAR OF CONFLICT, (assigned clearance) RESUMED
  • “UNABLE, TCAS RA”
43
Q

What is meant by “minimum fuel” in Japan?

A

A pilot should advise ATC of their fuel status when the fuel supply has reached a state where any unexpected delay cannot be accepted to ensure a safe landing. Minimum fuel is NOT an emergency situation, but indicates that an emergency situation is possible, should any unexpected delay occur. A minimum fuel advisory does not indicate a need for traffic priority
