Q
What is the rule of thumb for determining the appropriate descent rate on an ILS based on groundspeed
A
Take the normal approach speed and Account for headwind
And add a zero And divide by 2 and that is the descent rate in feet per minute (i.e. 80 knots is 800 /2 which is 400 fpm.
2
Q
What is minimum descent altitude
A
Lowest altitude expressed in MSL to which a descent is authorized in execution of a standard instrument approach procedure where no electronic glide slope is provided
3
Q
Decision altitude
A
Specified altitude or height in the precision approach at which missed approach must be initiated if the required visual reference to continue has not been established
4
Q
