Question

VMC 4 AIP ENR 1.2 para 2

Answer 1

``` Class G 5km vis (8km ABV 10,000ft) 1500m horizontal 1000ft vertical (Below 3000ft AMSL or 1000ft AGL can remain clear of cloud and in sight of ground or water if radio carried and on appropriate frequency) ``` ``` Class D 5km vis 600m horizontal 1000ft above 500ft below ``` Class C & E (Same as G without the exception)

Answer 2

1200 - VFR Class E or OCTA 2000 - IFR OCTA 3000 - Class E or civil flights in CTA

Answer 3

Alternate must be suitable destination for flight and Not an aerodrome that needs an alternate aerodrome also Alternates Could Very Well Prove Life Savers ``` Aids Cloud Vis Wind Provisional Forecast / Probability Deterioration Lights Storms ```

Answer 4

RPT/CHTR - destination has radio navaid with IAP and AC is fitted with two independent and seperate radio nav systems capable of using navaid; or - Destination has two separate and independent radio navaids with IAP and AC has two independent and seperate radio nav systems capable of using navaids AWK/PVT - destination must have radio navaid with IAP and AC is fitted with radio nav system capable of using aid IFR BY DAY no alternate required to AD with no radio navaid if: - not more than SCT cloud forecast below final route segment LSALT plus 500ft and forecast vis not less than 8km; and - navigated via approved nav systems or +/- 9° tracking error of last postive fix come within rated coverage of aid that can positively fix AC with fixes no more than 2 hours apart or by visual reference to the ground or water by day in VMC where 30min visual fixes apply NVFR - alternate within 1 hour unless: - destination is served by radio navaid (NDB/VOR) and AC can use aid or - AC is fitted with GNSS receiver appropriate (TSO C129+) for NVFR and pilot is qualified (AIP GEN 1.5 sec 2)

Answer 5

Unless operating day VFR within 50nm of departure, need alternate when arrival is during currency of up to 30 minutes before forecast commencement of: Cloud more than SCT below alternate minimum Vis less than alternate minimum or forecast of deterioration below minimum Crosswind or tailwind more than max for AC, including gusts

Answer 6

Provisional Forecast needs alternate Prob of conditions reducing below minimum need alternate

Answer 7

PAL lighting needs to be on 10 minutes before departure to at least 30 minutes after takeoff and arrival at least 30 minutes before ETA to end of landing and taxi If not permanent lighting with standby always need responsible person otherwise need alternate Alternate doesn't need standby power Alternate aerodrome lighting requirements RPT or single VHF needs lighting that is NOT PAL or PAL with responsible person Alternate lighting requirements non RPT, cargo only RPT or RPT below 3500kg MTOW PAL without responsible person but AC must have - dual VHF or VHF and HF and 30 min holding fuel in event of failure of VHF to alert ground staff Or holding fuel till BoD plus 10 minutes

Answer 8

Carry Inter - 30 min holding fuel Tempo - 60 min holding fuel OR Fuel for ALT

Answer 9

Use for AC with dual ILS/VOR capability or one marker receiver and DME Denoted by ** next to alternate title on charts with special minima Not available when: - local METAR/SPECI or forecasting services are not available or - airport control service not provided

Answer 10

Altimeter accuracy needs to be checked at some point before take off with known elevation and accurate QNH (can check twice in two separate locations if first try is unserviceable) Must read within 60ft. If excess +/- 75ft altimeter is unserviceable. When two ALTs required for flight, if second ALT reads error between 60-75ft flight IFR to first point is approved to re-check. If second check error is more than 60ft second altimeter is unserviceable. Two ALTs but only need one, one needs to read within 60ft. Second one error excess 75ft must be placarded unserviceable. If only fitted with one ALT can fly to first point of error if between 60-75ft to re-check. If error is greater than 60ft it must be considered unserviceable.

Answer 11

With accurate QNH VFR ALT should read elevation to within 100ft (110ft at sites above 3300ft). If aircraft with two VFR ALT has one continue to read excess of 100ft error it is unserviceable.

Answer 12

QNH accurate if provided by ATIS, tower or auto remote reporting AD sensor. Site elevation only accurate if from Airservices or supplied by aerodrome owner

Answer 13

- Cloud not more than SCT below 300ft AGL - Vis of 2000m PIC must ensure: - terrain clearance assured until LSALT or AD MSA and - if return to AD not possible, performance and fuel adequate for alternate having regard to terrain and distance Condition use of minima: - if return to land in event of engine failure meteorological conditions are at or above minima for IAP or visual approach and - if engine failure occurs terrain clearance is assured in IMC to LSALT or AD MSA

Answer 14

- 0ft ceiling and - vis 800m (or 550m day with tower open, secondary power switch over of 1 second or less for RWY lights and min 60m RWY edge lighting AIP ENR 1.5 para 4.3.2) Qualifying MEA is: - 2 pilot operated or - single pilot jet or - single pilot prop with operative autofeather And - AC MTOW > 5700kg can meet obstacle requirements of CAO 20.7.1B and - AC MTOW < 5700kg 1.9% climb gradient performance with loss of critical engine and - AC engine out climb gradient in manufacturers data is at least 0.3% greater than obstacle free gradient for RWY length required and - pilot uses published obstacle free gradients only if surveyed to at least 7500m from end of TODA For two pilot ops each pilot is: - endorsed on type and - Multi crew trained on type and - Multi crew prof checked previous 13 months and - instrument rated

Answer 15

Ops at or below transition altitude (altimeter setting region) reference will be: - current local QNH or station along route within 100nm of AC or - current area forecast QNH if local is unknown In Standard Pressure Region reference is 1013.2hPa Position to change QNH - on climb passing 10,000ft prior to levelling off or - On descent to level in altimeter setting region prior to entering Transition Layer

Answer 16

AC IFR must be navigated by: - approved area navigation system that meets performance requirements of airspace or route or - radio nav systems where after making allowance for track errors +/- 9° from last positive fix AC will come into rated coverage of radio aid that can be used as a fix. Not more than 2 hours between fixes (distance able to be flown = 6.66 X rated coverage) or - VMC rules 30 min fixes via visual reference to ground or water

Answer 17

Must notify ATC if deviated by: NDB +/- 5° VOR half scale deflection RNAV/RNP nav error plus flight technical error exceeded DME +/- 2nm Visual 1nm

Answer 18

Sector 1 parallel (110°) Sector 2 offset/teardrop (70°) Sector 3 direct RH holds are standard

Answer 19

Speed Up to and including FL140 230/170 CAT A&B ONLY ABV FL140 240 ABV FL200 265 Timing outbound begins abeam fix or on attaining outbound heading whichever later Time/distance outbound Up to FL140 1 min or time/distance on chart Above FL140 1.5 min or time/distance on chart Turns in nil wind should be 25° AoB or rate one whichever is less Wind allowance should be made in heading and in timing

Answer 20

2D 3D Azimuth CDI

Answer 21

Before passing IAF pilots need to set - actual QNH from approved source or - TAF QNH or - forecast area QNH Shaded background minima titles is using TAF QNH Shaded background minima can be reduced by 100ft if actual QNH is used (ATIS, AWIS, TWR, CASA approved met observer). Valid for 15 min from time of receipt (METAR does not meet requirements) If forecast QNH is used minima must be increased by 50ft

Answer 22

PEC is in AFM. If no charts for PEC add 50ft to DA

Answer 23

Don't vector in very close ``` DME/GNSS arrival Vectors IAP or hold VMC by day Climb after takeoff ```

Answer 24

Descent Below MDA or DA only when - visual reference can be maintained - all minima are equal or greater than those for AC category and - landing can be made at normal rates of descent withing touch down zone of intended RWY

Answer 25

During visual circling descent below circling MDA may only occur when pilot: - maintains AC in circling area and - maintains vis not less than specified and - maintains visual contact with landing RWY environment (approach lighting etc) Then pilot may: - by day = when obstacles can be seen, descend below MDA from any position within circling area maintaining obstacle clearance (OCA) not less than required for category - by night = in circling area of downwind base or final, continuous descent from MDA to threshold using normal rates and manoeuvres for AC Must not descend below OCA till aligned with RWY Visual circling prohibited in no circling area by day in less than VMC and at night

Answer 26

``` A = 1.68nm, 300ft B = 2.66nm, 300ft C = 4.20nm, 400ft D = 5.28nm, 400ft E = 6.94nm, 500ft ```

Answer 27

Vat = 91-120kts Initial & intermediate approach speeds = 120-180kts (140kts A&B only) Final approach speeds = 85-130kts Max speed circling = 135kts Max speed MAP = 150

Answer 28

FAF/OUTER MARKER is a fix where glidepath and altimeter should be verified AV = IKANO 5.3 AV GPS 1340 Should be maintained within half scale delfection After FAF, full scale deflection LOC or GS MAP must be commenced

Answer 29

±5° azimuth ±1/2 scale deflection CDI Within RNP value Minimum altitude tolerance +100ft, -0ft at MDA

Answer 30

Restrictions for DGA - database medium current and endorsed by receiver manufacturer - coordinates of destination VOR/NDB cannot be modified - RAIM must be available before descending below LSALT or MSA - nominated azimuth aid (VOR or NDB) must provide track guidance during procedure - if GPS suspect conduct MAP Cleared DGA arrival, ATC cannot restrict altitude In CTA and cleared for DGA must not orbit or hold, won't be cleared by ATC DGA clearance includes clearance to manoeuvre within circling area to land

Answer 31

DAY IFR - within 30nm of AD and - established visual and can continue with visual reference to ground or water and - vis not less than 5000m or airport is in sight NIGHT IFR - within 30nm of AD and - established visual and can continue with visual reference to ground or water and - vis not less than 5000m or airport is in sight and - ATS surveillance, assigned MVA and given heading or tracking instructions to intercept final or circling area VFR day or night only within 30nm

Answer 32

PIC must maintain track or heading on route progressively authorised by ATC until - by day, within 5nm or - by night IFR in circling area or - NVFR 3nm and - in sight of AD From this position CCT must be joined as directed by ATC

Answer 33

By day - IFR not less than 500ft above LL CTA and - VFR not below LSALT permissible for VFR (CAR 157) By night IFR - not less than LSALT/MSA or DGA step, or 500ft above LL CTA if higher or - ATS surveillance last assigned altitude Until - in circling area for category or higher category and AD is in sight or - within 5nm (7nm for ILS equipped RWY), aligned with RWY centerline not below on slope on TVASIS or PAPI or - within 10nm (14nm 16L & 34L at SY) not below ILS GS and less than full azimuth deflection NVFR - not below 1000ft above highest obstacle within 10nm of AC (CAR 174B) within 3nm and AD is insight.

Answer 34

Need not commence or discontinue IAP By day - within 30nm - clear of cloud - sight of ground and water - 5km vis or AD in sight - not less than CAR 157 to circling area By night - clear of cloud - sight of ground and water - vis 5km - within circling area or - 5nm on PAPI or - 7nm on PAPI (ILS RWY) or - 10nm on GS

Answer 35

AD without IAP IFR day - visual approach requirements IFR night - VMC from LSALT within 3nm AD with IAP non precision (not ILS) IFR day and night - as specified on chart except when HIAL not available vis for LOC must be +900m AD w/CAT I procedures Published DA and minima may be used except - min vis 1.5km required when HIAL not available and - min vis 1.2km unless AC flown with flight director or HUDLS or autopilot coupled LOC & GP and - AC has serviceable failure warning system for AHRS and - high intensity RWY edge lighting is available - min vis 0.8km if threshold RVR is not available

Answer 36

So Not Visual ROFL ``` Straight in landing and circling approach not possible under conditions at minima or better Not visual at DA/MAPt RAIM warning or loss after IAF Outside tolerance during final segment Failure or suspect aid below MSA Lost visual reference during circling ```
