A visual depiction of your lateral location relative to the localizer

Question 7

What is the width of the LOC signal?

Answer 7

3-6 degrees depending on the runway length

Answer 8

2.5-3.0 degrees

Question 9

What does the glideslope scale and pointer show on your EADI?

Answer 9

Your vertical position relative to the glideslope

Question 10

Where is the Outer Marker located?

Answer 10

At the final approach fix, or glideslope intercept point (Cyan OM indication on EADI)

Question 11

Where is the Middle Marker located?

Answer 11

The decision altitude point on the approach (amber MM indication on the EADI)

Question 12

Where is the Inner Marker located?

Answer 12

Between the MM and the end of the runway (white IM indication on EADI)

Question 13

What would be a good idea to have when flying an approach?

Answer 13

A backup approach if NAVAID/AC fail ex if flying an ILS, have the LOC approach as backup

Question 14

Can you be forced to transition to a LOC approach if flying the ILS approach?

Answer 14

Yes - you MAY NOT descend below LOC minimums if exceeding 2 dots above- (full scale deflection) OR 1 dot below glideslope (half-scale deflection)! If you are below MDA and exceeds above mentioned = go-around!

Question 15

May you recapture the ILS if above LOC MDA, but has exceeded the 2 dots above/1 dot below glideslope?

Answer 15

Yes

Question 16

When do you start your timing?

Answer 16

If timing is applicable, start timing when passing the FAF (for the LOC backup approach)

Question 17

Do you chase the needles during an ILS approach?

Answer 17

No - 2 degrees pitch changes and 5 degrees target headings

Question 18

How do you calculate VDP?

Answer 18

height of the MDA (Height Above Touchdownzone)/glideslope-angle*100

Question 19

What descend rate should you use at a non-precision approach?

Answer 19

800-1000 fpm until MDA prior to calculated VDP

Question 20

What needs to be done prior to the FAF (6 Ts)?

Answer 20

Time for the approach/backup approach
Turn the A/C to intercept final approach course
Throttle (PCL) set to establish descent
Twist in final approach course on EHSI
Track final approach course inbound
Talk (report FAF if instructed to by ATC and call gear down if not previously accomplished)

Question 21

At what page in the GPS do you find GPS approaches?

Answer 21

Airport P-8 (must be loaded prior to 2 nm from the IAF, or the GPS will not go into approach mode)

Question 22

Precision approaches are distinguished from nonprecision approaches by the addition of ______ information.

Answer 22

Glideslope

Question 23

The glideslope helps maintain the proper approach angle, which is normally between ______.

Answer 23

2.5 and 3°

Question 24

On an ILS approach with a 3° glideslope, TAS of 110 knots and a 20 knot headwind, a descent rate of about ______ fpm should be established on the VSI.

Answer 24

450

Question 25

For many nonprecision approaches, you will need to establish a descent rate of about ______ to reach MDA prior to VDP.

Answer 25

800 to 1000 fpm

Question 26

If the runway is not in sight when you reach VDP, you must execute a missed approach.

Answer 26

FALSE, continue to the MAP, and then if rwy not in sight execute a missed approach

Question 27

Selecting ______ on the EHSI during a GPS approach will display the IAF(s), FAF, and MAP along with the course lines connecting them.

Answer 27

MAP mode

Question 28

In the approach active mode, the active leg of a GPS approach is indicated on the EHSI by a ______ between waypoints.

Answer 28

green line

Question 29

A localizer transmitter will provide course guidance and glideslope information for an approach.

Answer 29

FALSE, it will only provide course guidance

Question 30

Which marker beacon is normally located at the FAF or glideslope intercept point?

Answer 30

Outer marker (OM)

Question 31

In a VOR approach in which the VOR station serves as the FAF, the approach course will be ______.

Answer 31

outbound on the designated radial

Question 32

On the GPS display, a waypoint identifier followed by a lower case “m” designates ______.

Answer 32

the missed approach point

Question 33

An ILS is flown down to a point where you must either establish visual reference with the runway and continue to landing, or execute a missed approach. This point is called the ______.

Answer 33

decision altitude (DA)

Question 34

On a localizer backcourse approach, you must set ______ in the EHSI.

Answer 34
