(34 cards)
For an abnormal approach, the aircraft must be stable by?
1000 ft HAA
In IMC the aircraft must be stable by?
1000 ft HAA
For an approach in VMC, the aircraft must be stable by?
500 ft HAA
If you are carrying out a Circling Approach, what height is the aircraft to be stable?
500 ft HAA
If you are performing an approach in a Non Normal configuration, stable height is?
1000 ft HAA
ATC request that you maintain 180 kt to 3 miles. Can you accept the request?
ay request the may result in an unstabilised approach, are to be declined
Your approaching 800 ft HAA in IMC at 137 KIAS, your Vapp is 121 kts. What are your actions?
Carry out a Missed approach (MAP)
The speeds of a stable approach are associated with Vapp. How much faster than Vapp is considered stable?
+10 kts
The speeds of a stable approach are associated with Vapp. How much slower than Vapp is considered stable?
-5 kts
A momentary speed deviation is considered unstable. True or False
False
The maximum sink rate associated with a stable approach is?
1000 ft/min
A small magnitude deviation of greater that 1000 ft/min is considered unstable and requires an immediate Go-Round.
True or False
False
Small changes in the heading and pitch are considered stable.
True or False
True
The target sink rate for a stable approach is =<______ft/min?
1000 ft/min
Providing an adequate brief is carried out, deviation from the stable approach criteria are permitted for a unique approach and an ____________ aircraft statis.
abnormal
Providing an adequate brief is carried out, deviation from the stable approach criteria are permitted for a ________ approach and an abnormal aircraft status.
unique
What power setting should be adopted for a stable approach?
appropriate for the configuration
In IMC conditions, at what point should the aircraft be established in the planned landing configuration?
1000 ft HAA
Approaching 500 ft HAA in VMC conditions, what configuration should the aircraft be in?
the planned landing configuration
For an ILS approach to be considered stable, it must remain inside what tolerance?
1 (one) dot (GS and LOC)
Flying an ILS approach as PM at 700 ft HAA, you notice the GS tolerance at 1.5 dots low, what do should you do?
Call glideslope?
As PM you notice the LOC > one dot out of tolerance as the aircraft approached 400 ft HAA, your next action is?
Call Go-Around!
Vapp = Vref +5 under all circumstances?
True or false
False
All briefings and checklists must be completed by?
the stabilisation height
