What is a terminal routing?

Answer 4

A route from enroute or feeder facilities to Initial Approach Fix (IAF)

If you are using a terminal routing to the IAF, and you are cleared the approach, are you then considered established on the approach and may descend to the published terminal routing altitude?

Answer 5

True

Question 6

What must you accomplish prior to reaching the IAF?

Answer 6

W-HOLDS
Weather
Holding clearance
Obtain clearance for the approach
Letdown plate review
Descent check prior to the IAF
Speed as required

Question 7

What is the low altitude approach speed?

Answer 7

120-150 KIAS

Question 8

Which descend rate is it good to use below 3,000’ AGL?

Answer 8

500-2000 fpm

Question 9

What is a procedure turn?

Answer 9

An instrument maneuver used to revers direction and place an aircraft inbound on the intermediate or final approach course

Question 10

What does a”barb” symbol on an approach plate indicate?

Answer 10

The direction or side of the outbound course on which the procedure turn or maneuvering is normally accomplished

Question 11

What should you do, if the inbound procedure turn course is not within 70* of the aircraft heading?

Answer 11

Turn outbound in the shortest direction to parallel or intercept the outbound course

Question 12

What is the maximum AOB you are allowed to use in a procedure turn?

Answer 12

30 degrees

Question 13

What are the three common methods for executing a procedure turn course reversal?

Answer 13

• The 45/180
• The 80/260

Question 14

If you need to descend further when commencing the procedure turn, when do you begin?

Answer 14

Start your descent from the procedure turn altitude when the aircraft is established on the inbound segment of the published instrument procedure

Question 15

What does a procedure track approach normally use, and how is it depicted on the approach plate?

Answer 15

Normally use:
- radials
- headings
- arcs or any combination of the three.
Depicted by a heavy black line with an arrow, showing the flightpath and an unbroken descent line

Question 16

How many orbits are you expected to complete in a ‘holding in lieu of the IAF’ procedure?

Answer 16

One - if more, coordinate with ATC

Question 17

If you are using a feeder facility to an IAF and are cleared for the approach, you are considered established on the approach.

Answer 17

TRUE

Question 18

What airspeed do you maintain prior to configuring when flying a low altitude approach in the T-6A?

Answer 18

120-150 KIAS

Question 19

The “barb” on a procedure turn means that your turn is made opposite the maneuvering side.

Answer 19

FALSE - the barb indicates to which side you will be maneuvering in a procedure turn

Question 20

When would you not execute a procedure turn?

Answer 20

ATC has cleared you for a straight-in approach.

Question 21

Approaching the IAF for a procedure track approach, if your heading is within ______ of the procedure track course you do not have to overfly the IAF and may use normal lead points to intercept the published course.

Answer 21

90°

The term “NoPT” means that you will ______.

Answer 22

not fly a procedure turn approach

Question 23

Which of the following are ways to recognize a holding pattern in lieu of a procedure turn depiction?

a. A normal holding pattern in the plan view
b. The outbound and inbound courses are shown with two dark arrows in the profile view
c. A normal holding pattern with a bold black line in the plan view
d. Both B and C

Answer 23

Both B and C

Question 24

Prior to initiating a descent on the inbound leg of a holding pattern in lieu of a procedure turn, you must be established on the inbound course.

Answer 24

TRUE

Question 25

Low altitude approaches enable the aircraft to transition from instrument flight conditions to a visual landing while providing ______.

Answer 25

terrain clearance and separation from other IFR aircraft

Answer 27

120 – 150 KIAS

Question 28

The barbed symbol depicted in a procedure turn approach means that the turn ______.

Answer 28

In a procedure turn, what procedures are used to determine the direction of turn for intercepting the outbound course when first crossing the low altitude IAF?

Answer 29

Use normal entry holding techniques (AIM or 70°) to determine the direction of turn.

Question 30

If DME is available, what method would you use to stay within the “Remain Within” distance on a procedure turn approach?
