23
Q

What is a Visual Descent Point (VDP)? (AIM 5-4-5)

A

A defined point from which a descent using a normal descent rate and normal maneuvers can be made from the MDA to touchdown point provided visual reference is established

24
Q

ATOMATO FLAMES + FLAPS (91.205) + GRABCARD

Generator/Alternator
Radios
Altimeter (sensitive)
Ball (turn/slip indicator)
Clock
Attitude Indicator

25
What are the standard VOR service volumes?
Terminal - 1,000’ 12,000’ - 25NM Low - 5,000’ - 18,000’ - 70NM High - 5,000’ - 14,500’ - 70NM 14,500 - 18,000 - 100NM 180 - 450 - 130NM 450 - 600 - 100NM
26
What are the types of procedure turns?
1. Course Reversal 2. Descent from IAF 3. Inbound Course Interception
27
What is a Minimum Safe Altitudes (MSA)?
- Emergency altitude used in case of lost situational awareness - Provides obstacle/terrain avoidance
28
What is a Terminal Arrival Area (TAA) altitude?
- Provides altitude and distance information for a given area - For RNAV approaches only
29
Identify marker beacons
Marker Beacon - Avionics signal different colors/audible morse codes when passing over - Outer - Flashing Blue - Dashes - - - - - Usually 4-7nm from runway threshold o Middle - Flashing Amber - Dash Dot Dash Dot -.-. - 3500 feet from runway threshold o Inner - Flashing White - Dots …. - Short and high-pitched
30
What is a false glide slope?
Glide slope above the normal glide slope.
31
Rate of descent for 3° glide slope formula
Groundspeed x 5
32
When do you go “missed”
• When to go Missed -Precision • The DA/DH - Non-Precision • Runway Threshold or other specified point, usually labeled as a point with DME • If a plate has both precision/non-precision approaches, then the profile view will ALWAYS default to showing the precision approach profile • All the information is still there for the non-precision approach, but it is up to YOU to interpret/visualize how it’s different
33

34
Min IFR Altitudes
Except for Takeoff and Landing, no person may operate an aircraft under IFR below - Min altitudes prescribed for the flown segment, or if none -Mountainous areas: 2,000’ above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 4NM from the course - Non-mountainous areas: 1,000’ above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 4NM from the course
35

36
VOR Check Reqs §91.171
DEPS Date Error (bearing error) Place Signature
37
GPS Satellites
GPS is a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) operated by the United States. ■ The constellation consists of a minimum of 24 satellites (with some spares) orbiting above the earth at 10,900 NM. The system is designed so that at least 5 satellites are in view at any given location on earth.
38
What is RAIM
Recover Autonomous Integrity Monitoring. RAIM (fault detection) requires a minimum of 5 satellites, or, 4 satellites + an altimeter input (baro-aided RAIM) To eliminate a corrupt satellite (fault exclusion), RAIM needs an additional satellite (total of 6 or 5 + baro-aid) ■ A database loaded into the receiver unit contains navigational data such as: airports, navaids, routes, waypoints and instrument procedures.
