UPDATE
How do you calculate the descent gradient and rate of descent? - Answer- 1. Divide the
altitude change by the distance between the FAF and the step down or threshold (if no
step down) =Descent Gradient
2. Multiple the GS in miles per minute by the descent gradient = rate of descent
What effect does hotter temperatures have on a descent angle? - Answer- It increases
the descent angle marginally
What effect does colder temperatures have on a descent angle? - Answer- It decreases
the descent angle
The primary difference between a constant descent angle approach and a stabilized
constant descent angle approach is that?
Select one:
a.
An operations specification is required to use the stabilized constant descent angle
approach.
b.
The constant descent angle approach provides better fuel efficiency.
c.
During a stabilized constant descent angle approach, the aircraft is never flown in level
flight at or near the MDA.
d.
A constant descent angle approach includes a descent angle that may be calculated by
a flight crew member. - Answer- C
,What effect does temperature have on barometric descent angles?
Select one:
a.
Warmer than standard temperature produces steeper true descent angles.
b.
Humidity has more of an effect on descent angles than would temperature.
c.
There is no effect on barometric descent angles.
d.
Colder than standard temperature produces steeper true descent angles. - Answer- A
When using an angular vertical profile for landing?
Select one:
a.
The minimum altitude must be temperature corrected if the aerodrome is 0° Celsius or
colder.
b.
The minimum altitude need not be temperature corrected as the altitude is calculated
according to baro-vnav inputs.
c.
The minimum altitude need not be temperature corrected as the altitude is calculated
according to three dimensional satellite position.
d.
The minimum altitude need not be temperature corrected as the approach angle is
calculated according to the tables. - Answer- A
,What is the memory aid for the three bar VASI for widebody aircraft versus normal
aircraft? - Answer- Wide body is high (bc the flight deck is higher).

minutes
Above 14,000 1.5 minutes
What should you do if you arrive at your last cleared fix without further clearance? -
Answer- You should hold at that fix and request further clearance.
What are the various holding speed limits? - Answer-

What obstacle clearance does the primary area of the PT provide? - Answer- 1000'
What obstacle clearance does the secondary area of the PT provide? - Answer- 500'
What does "NO PT" on an approach plate indicate? - Answer- No Procedure Turn "is
necessary"
The procedure turn maneuvering area?
Select one:
a.
Is roughly oval shaped.
b.
Primary area provides 1000' obstacle clearance.
c.

, b.
The IAF transitions the aircraft to the FAF.
c.
There is no FAF.
d.
None of the above. - Answer- A. The IAF and FAF are the same.

Select one:
a.
Three lights at the edge of runway.
b.
Two lights at the of runway.
c.
Four lights at the edge of runway.
d.

a.
One; Alternative missed approach procedures may be issued by ATC.
b.
One.
