Charts Flashcards
Brief departure, Arrivals, and approaches, ask for charts
- On Ipad
Brief plotting charts
- Review Enroute symbols
Review Jepp symbols
- Intro to Jepp charts on GoodReader
What does ARP mean
- Airport reference point
What is the Malteses Cross
- FAF for non precision apporach
What is the FAP
- Final approach point is the beginning of the final approach for precision approaches
- ie intercept GS at alt listed on chart or lower if given by ATC
What is MSA
- Minimum Safe/Sector Altitude
- 1,000’ of obstacle clearance within 25nm
o sometimes 30nm, RNAV apporaches
What is transition Alt/level
where do you find it on the chart
- Transition Alt: Change from local altimeter setting to standard 29.92in/1013mb. The altitude at or below which the vertical position of an aircraft is controlled by reference to altitudes
- Transition Level: Change from standard to the local altimeter setting. The altitude at or below which the vertical position of an aircraft is controlled by reference to Flight Level
o TA/TL can be found in the Departure and arrival charts
What does the pink circle mean
Before Taxing you should
- Hot spot: potential risk of runway incursion
o Before you begin taxiing, you should brief any hot spots along your taxi route.
How many degrees of runway difference constitutes a circling procedure?
- 30 degrees
What is the asterisk next to the tower frequency on the approach plate or on navaid?
- Tower is part time operation
What does a displaced threshold look like on Jepp chart?
- Find on Chart
Find Lat/Long of airport on approach chart
- Find on chart
How to ID Reporting points
- Fix is shaded in
- Find on chart
How to ID Fly over vs Fly by
- Fly over waypoints are in-closed in a circle
- Find on chart
How to ID a FIR
- Green highlighted black line
How to identify DME fixes on the Plan view and profile view
- Radial and distance
- On vertical profile: vertical dashed line
- Find on chart
Where is the Prime meridian
- 0 deg Longitude
- Greenwich, England
What are the minimums when the GS goes out
- Loc(GS Out) min
You are at 30,000 when do you start your descent
- Alt x 3 = 90nm + 10nm to slow down
o Level flight 1nm per 10kt to slow
o Descent 2nm per 10kt to slow
How do you calculate your top of descent to meet a crossing restriction on a star?
- Alt x 3
- Level flight 1nm per 10kt to slow
- Descent 2nm per 10kt to slow
When can you turn on a missed approach procedure while executing a missed:
Straight in?
Circling?
- Straight-in
o Fly the IAP to the MAP before turning unless instructed by ATC - Circling
o Make a climbing turn toward the landing runway and continue to turn until established on the missed approach course
Walk me thru how to conduct a circling approach
- 1.5 nm downwind, gear down, flaps 3
- 30 sec after threshold turn final, set landing flaps
- adjust descent based on distance vs alt
Adjust time after passing abeam the threshold
- 1 sec less per 10kt tailwind
- 1 sec more per 10kt headwind
What is EMAS
Engineered Material Arresting System
