Section 8

What is a Missed Approach Point?

• A specified height for non-precision approach or circling approach that an aircraft cannot descend below without visual reference

• A fix that signifies the end of arrival, start of initial, and in RNAV applications it is usually a fly-by waypoint

• A point in a precision approach where a missed approach procedure must be done at or above it to prevent infringement of MOC

• A fix that signifies the end of initial, start of intermediate, and in RNAV applications it is usually a fly-by waypoint

Pilot not familiar with instrument approach. ATC can give guidance for:

• RNP

• Circling

• Straight in

• Teardrop

Aircraft category and its reason:

• For allocating air charges

• Depending on the height of pilot sight line varying between aircraft

• Varying speed of aircraft determining the time delay for instrument approach

• Based on something and visibility required for manoeuvre in the air

The restrictions for conducting an omni-directional approach are based on what?

• MSA

• MORA

MDA is?

• Minimum Descent Altitude

• Maximum Descent Altitude

MDH is?

• Minimum Descent Height

• Minimum Descend High

What is the difference between DH and DA?

• DA is referenced to mean sea level, DH is referenced to threshold elevation

• DA using QFE while DH is using QNR

What is decision height?

• The height in a precision approach at which a missed approach must be initiated if the required visual reference to continue that approach has not been established

• Blab la bvla

For a precision approach, when do you go around if you do not have visual?

• Decision Altitude/Height

• Missed approach point

• Intermediate fix

• Final approach fix

What is the Cat IIIA minima?

• 175m RVR / not less than 50' or no DH

• 175m RVR / not less than 100’ or no DH

• 200m RVR / not less than 50’ or no DH

• 200m RVR / not less than 100’ or no DH
