Lessons Flashcards
Define Non-Precision Approach?
A standard instrument approach in which only HORIZONTAL guidance is provided
35L Missed Approach Procedure
Climb to 3,000’ and turn Left to a heading of 230
17R Missed Approach Procedure
Climb to 3,000’ and turn Right heading 310
27R Missed Approach Procedure
Climb to 3,000’ and turn Right heading 030
9L Missed Approach Procedure
Climb to 4,000’ and turn Left heading 050
What are the 3 main types of Non-Precision Approaches?
- VOR
- Localizer
- GPS - LNAV
What is a Sidestep?
When you switch your approach to a PARALLEL runway!
What is a Circling approach?
When you switch you approach to an UNparallel runway!
What does 91.183 require?
That you are continuosly on frequency with ATC and must report:
- Time and Altitude when passing a point
- Unforecasted weather
- Any new info. related to the flight
What regulation refers to communication with ATC when you have a malfunction during flight?
91.187
What does 91.187 require?
During a malfunction you must tell ATC:
- What instruments you have lost
- Your ability to continue flying
- Desired assistance
What are the 2 main types of Precision Approaches?
- ILS (Localizer and Glideslope)
2. GPS - LPV (not considered precision by FAA, but can be used for training purposes)
What is the biggest deciding factor when determining what type of approach to fly?
WEATHER! (Because of Minimums)
What are the 4 parts of a Precision Approach?
- Initial -> Intermediate Segment
- Intermediate -> FAF
- FAF -> MAP (Minimums for decision)
- Missed Approach Segment
How do you calculate VDP? What approach use a VDP?
- Height above TDZE / 300
- Non-Precision!
What is LNAV?
Lateral (Azimuth) Navigation, no vertical guidance - Non Precision Approach
Non-Precision Approach Locations and cooresponding Callouts
- 1 NM prior to FAF….”Before Landing X-list compete, 100 knots”
- 0.5 NM prior to FAF….”Below 110, Flaps to 10, 90 knots”
- FAF (begin descent)
- 1,000’ above MDA….”1,000’ to Minimums, Instruments: Cross-Checked”
- 500’ above MDA….”500’ to Minimums, Cleared ___”
- 100’ above MDA….”100’ to Minimums”
- Minimums….”Minimums”
- VDP….”VDP” or “VDP No Contact”
- MAP….”Missed Approach Point, Go-Around, Flaps up”
Precision Approach Locations and cooresponding Callouts
- Within glideslope range….”Glideslope Alive”
- Prior to 1 Dot below Glideslope….”Before Landing X-list completed”
- 1/2 Dot below Glideslope…“Below 110, Flaps 10, 90 knots”
- Glideslope Intercept (FAF - begin descent)
- 1,000’ above DA….”1,000’ to Minimums, Instruments: Cross-Checked”
- 500’ above DA….”500’ to Minimums, Cleared ___”
- 100’ above DA….”100’ to Minimums”
- Minimums….”Minimums” or “No Contact, Go-Around, Flaps up”
- Final Descent to Land….”Final Check completed, ___ in sight”
Approach Speed categories and Circling Radiuses
A: 0-91 knots, 1.3 nm B: 91-121 knots, 1.5 nm C: 121-141 knots, 1.7 nm D: 141-166 knots, 2.3 nm E: 166+ knots, 4.5 nm
According to 91.175 (c) what 3 requirements must be met to operate under the DA or MDA?
- Remain in a continuous position to land
- Must have required visibility for the approach
- Must have the runway environment in sight (1 of 10 things)
What can you expect to see when Holding over a VOR?
TO/FR flag flip when going from inbound/outbound legs!
What are the 5 T’s of Holding?
Throttle (adjust for 100 knots - 3 mins from fix)
Turn
Talk (Established in the hold)
Time (usually VOR hold)
Twist (Heading bug - inbound/outbound courses)
~Track~
What are the 3 different entries you can make into a Hold?
Parallel
Direct
Teardrop
Explain how you would adjust for flying a holding pattern with wind?
x3 Rule
- WCA on the inbound leg is tripled for the outbound leg
- Goal is to get 1 min for the inbound leg!
