Answer 2

◦ 45º Intercept if the head of the bearing pointer is not within 5º of the inbound course ◦ DAI intercept if the head of the bearing pointer is within 5º of the inbound course

Answer 3

◦ ENR - 5 nm ◦ TERM - 1 nm ◦ APR - 0.3 nm

Answer 4

``` ◦ DME Hold - set ◦ Localizer freq - TIM ◦ Inbound course - set CDI ◦ Display - PFD source to “LOC” ◦ Speed - appropriate for transition procedure ```

Answer 5

If there is a paired channel with the localizer frequency, DME hold is not required

Answer 7

FAF for non-precision approach is is depicted by the Maltese cross symbol

Answer 8

At DH/DA and on glideslope

Answer 9

◦ Timing or DME | ◦ At the closest DME to the runway

Answer 10

◦ Use published glideslope and climb/descent table in back of approach book ◦ 3 degree glideslope formula: (groundspeed x 10)/2

Answer 11

◦ TIME - Start timing (backup to identify the MAP if DME fails) ◦ TURN - Turn in the shortest direction to parallel the final approach course ◦ TIME - Not required ◦ TRANSITION - Set approximately 15% torque, trim for 120 KIAS descent to next segment altitude or MDA ◦ TWIST - If not already done, twist the FAC into the CDI and set intercept as required ◦ TALK - As req’d

Answer 12

DA/DH is used for non precision whereas MDA is used for precision approaches

Answer 13

Answer 15

◦ These altitudes are found in the front of the terminal low altitude approach plate books ◦ If weather minimums are increased, increase these altitudes as well

Answer 16

◦ Use published glideslope and climb/descent table in back of approach book ◦ 3 degree glideslope formula: (groundspeed x 10)/2

Answer 17

◦ 1 min on vector to final approach ◦ 15 sec on ASR or PAR w/o GS final ◦ 5 sec on PAR final ◦ After these times, proceed as follows ◦ Attempt contact on a secondary frequency ‣ Proceed VFR if possible ‣ Proceed with a non-radar approach

Answer 18

Answer 20

Precise course, range, and glideslope

Answer 21

◦ MAP for these procedures are given by the controller ◦ Execute missed approach if runway not insight or safe landing cannons be made ‣ If “Radar contact lost,” and the runway environment is not in sight, a missed approach shall be executed

Answer 22

◦ At DA/DA on altimeter, and runway environment not in sight ◦ Controller reports DA/DA, and runway environment not in sight ◦ When directed by an external source ◦ When a safe landing cannot be made

Answer 23

◦ SRT (not to exceed 30° AOB) until on final | ◦ ½ SRT unless otherwise directed on final

Answer 24

Includes runways, taxiways, lighting systems, ground obstructions, and elevations

Answer 25

``` Precision approach path indicator ◦ Four horizontal lights, usually to the left of the runway ◦ On glidepath, 2 red and 2 white ◦ 3/4 red, too low ◦ 314 white too high ```

Answer 26

◦ Visual approach slope indicator ◦ Red over white when on glideslope ◦ Both red when low, both white when high

Answer 27

◦ 300' clearance ◦ Radius depends on category of aircraft ◦ Approach category B was a 1.5 mile radius

Answer 28

◦ You must execute a missed approach if at the MAP, ◦ Lacking sufficient visual cues ‣ Aircraft is not in a position to maneuver to a safe landing ‣ Directed to by ATC

Answer 29

Written description pilot briefings section, symbols in profile view, dashed line in both profile and plan views

Answer 30

◦ Full scale deflection prior to FAF ◦ Attempt to return to course ‣ If unable, contact ATC, do not descend below FAF altitude ‣ Between FAF and MAP ◦ Immediate climb to missed approach altitude ‣ Fly to MAP, then execute missed approach procedure

Answer 31

Climbing turn toward the landing runway, continue turn until on missed approach course

Answer 32

Found at the bottom of the approach plate in landing minima section

Answer 33

◦ Labelled on the approach plate in the plan view | ◦ Can be more than one for the same approach

Answer 34

Found in both plan and profile view

Answer 35

◦ Height Above Touchdown ◦ Found in landing minima section ◦ Height of DA/DH or MDA above the TDZ in AGL

Answer 36

◦ Transition from RNAV enroute structure to terminal area ◦ Generally in a basic “T” shape, with 3 arrival areas, and an IAF in each ◦ 1000' obstacle clearance ◦ Depicted in plan view

Answer 37

``` Prior to FAWP ◦ Transition to a back up approach ‣ Continue on course to the FAWP ‣ Maintain FAWP altitude while flying to the MAWP ‣ Execute missed approach at the MAWP ‣ Inside the FAWP ◦ Transition to a back up approach ‣ Climb to missed approach altitude ‣ Continue track to the MAWP, then execute a missed approach ```

Answer 38

◦ L - load GPS approach ◦ D - direct to IAWP ◦ D - display, PFD source FMS ◦ H - hold, ensure waypoints have /h if a hold is required ◦ A - approach mode, ensure APR mode 2 no from FAWP

Answer 39

Appendix C

Answer 40

◦ Be able to read a SID | ◦ Symbology is same as approach plates

Answer 41

◦ Call AFSS on ground via phone ◦ Licensed UNICOM operator at the airport ◦ Call AFSS or ATC on radio if line of sight ◦ Depart VFR, contact controlling authority while VMC

Answer 42

◦ Based on proportions ◦ Rate = distance/time ◦ Distance/60 = distance/time ◦ Make sure units match

Answer 43

Fuel flow = fuel(lb)/time

Answer 44

◦ Align TAS marker with value on outer ring ◦ Place magnetic course above TC marker on inner ring ◦ Rotate inner ring to compensate for given magnetic variation ◦ West - CW ‣ East - CCW ‣ Plot winds on inner ring ◦ Determine crosswind and headwind components ‣ TAS corrected for head/tailwind gives ground speed ◦ Crosswind component on outer ring gives crab angle/drift correction ◦ Magnetic heading corrected for crab angle gives magnetic heading

Answer 45

Airfield data | - Rwy lengths, fuel services, PPR requirements, hazards, etc.

Answer 46

◦ Departure weather must allow for an emergency return approach to the duty runway ◦ Precision approach - published mins, no less than 200-1/2 ◦ Non precision approach - published mins, no less than 300-1

Answer 47

◦ For planning, destination weather does not have requirements, but it determines alternate requirements ◦ To actually land, absolute minimums are 200-1/2

Answer 54

Written in UTC, no “Z”

Answer 55

◦ The coded identifier of the STAR should be placed after the transition fix ◦ Last entry in route of flight section

Answer 56

◦ First point should be the planned navigational aid or fix for entering the enroute structure ◦ Clearly define the route using navigate identifiers, fixes and radials, airways, intersections, and RNAV waypoints ◦ Absence of an airway between fixes indicates direct leg

Answer 57

◦ HR+MIN | ◦ Takeoff to last fix in route of flight section

Answer 58

◦ Indicated along route, top number | ◦ Ensures acceptable NAVAID reception and provides 1000’ obstacle clearance between fixes

Answer 59

◦ Indicated on route, bottom number with an asterisk ◦ Provides 1000’ obstacle clearance but only ensures NAVAID reception within 22 NM of a station
