Thrust Instrument stage 2 flight

Explain ABBCC

ATIS

Build (direct enter enter airport, then procedure button, then RNAV 18 for example)

Brief — NICEATM

Checklist —descent before landing AND enter your minimums

Configure—2100 rpm when 1 mile from FAF AND 1 notch of flaps below 102

then 1800rpm when capture the glideslope (GS or GP will flash). Only do this when you have vertical guidance

When ATC says “Th555 expect vectors RNAV 18 into Mesquite,” what do you do?

get the ATIS asap, then finish ABBCC

What does “brief” mean in ABBCC?

NICEATM

explain NICEATM

NOTAMS/date

Identity (proc—>select appch)

Course (FPC for GPS, CDI for ILS/VOR)

Entry

Altitude at crossing FAF

Timed (is it?)

Minimums for entering

Missed approach brief 

How does a DA work?

for vertical guidance, go all the way down, and immediately go missed if no runway in sight

How does an MDA work?

level off, then go missed at missed approach point (MAP) in GPS by the end of last nm measurement

If they say “cleared for the approach/ILS/RNAV,” what do you do?

press approach mode, THEN when 1mile away from FAF do 2100rpm, and one notch flaps below 102

if they say “join the localizer,” what do you do? 

Click nav mode (NOT approach mode) 

What RPMs for straight and level at FAF?

2100

What RPMs for descent during cruise?

2300

what RPMs for once youve captured the glideslope (GP or GS will flash, only happens with vertical guidance)

1800

descend RPMs and VS?

2300, and -500 or -700 VS

do you just follow the rules/plate for the approach altitudes?

no. they’re good to know, but ATC controls altitude. NO CHANGES WITHOUT ATC

Explain the Cs

Cram Climb Clean Click toga communicate “going missed”

For the C in NICEATM, how do you identify the course for localizer or VOR?

Use CDI!!! Not FPL button

CTAF vs Unicom?

CTAF is unique to airport, Unicom is shared among airports

What do we talk on when tower is closed

CTAF, 126.0 at Addison, and DON’T forget to say where you are

What does the arrow mean on an aerial chart

Procedure turn to aid with course reversal

When do you do a procedure turn when noted? How?

Anytime after crossing the IAF. Fly bugged heading, when wings are level at new heading fly for one minute, then turn back on return radial and you should be cleared for the approach

What uses a timed approach?

Localizer only! And it is in groundspeed

Always report what inbound?

FAF!

what nav aid can you use to circle?

Any nav aid

What’s the extra square at the bottom of our LX planes?

TAWS (terrain awareness)

A VOR alpha is lined up with runway or off by 30 degrees?

Off by 30

After circling and coming towards the runway, how do you enter?

Teardrop

Can you fly VORs on GPS data?

Yes but bearing has to be up because MAP is in reference to DME (so click pfd bearing 1)

Can we fly a VOR approach without any GPS?

Not really, because our planes can’t receive DME, and we use the GPS for DME distance instead

When do you load the G1000 proc, and not activate?

When sequencing flight plans, ex. Doing a hold on a missed approach point

Explain how glideslope works

High diamond = stay at that altitude and let it come to you

Low diamond = descend

On a high altitude approach, you start descending when you have ______ on the _____

Half scale deflection on glideslope/glidepath indicator (first dot)

When you go missed while circling, where do you go

Center of runway and climb

If LPV loses WAAS then it becomes

LNAV

can we fly VOR approaches with GPS data?

yes BUT bearing 1 has to be up because the MAP isnt on the GPS and instead you go missed by referencing the last DME labeled

No GPS = No VOR approach because…

We don’t have a DME receiver on our plane

high diamond =

just fly (keep going forward, 2100rpms)

low diamond =

go low (1800rpms)

when do you start descending when you have a glideslope or glidepath?

when “established” on the path, which means it blinks or you have halfscale deflection (it’s off by a dot)

when do you do a timed approach?

localizer ONLY 

Lnav + V nav will never show up on a ______, but we do occasionally get V guidance due to our plane’s ______. This V guidance gives us a (DA/MDA) because it is advisory only

plate, WAAS, MDA

on an ILS, your CDI will say ____ for the lateral guidance, and you should look at the ____ for vertical guidance

LOC, glideslope

LPV turns ____ when it is NOT active because you have lost _____. You need to ______ the plate for the new MDA

yellow, WAAS, re-brief

What reg is IFR take offs/landings?

91.175

Per 91.175, what are our takeoff mins

part 91—no take off mins

less than or equal to 2 engines—1 mile visibility

3+ engines—1/2 sm visibility

Do we have to follow ODPs in part 91?

No obs dept proc, but they are recommended because they give you clearance over obstacles

Landing IFR reg and rules

91.175, stable descent using normal maneuvers, with flight visibility not less than prescribed, with something in sight

what do you need in sight to land?

approach lights (can descend 100 above TD threshold) or ONE of the following: threshold lights/markings, TDZ lights/markings, red terminating bars, REILS, or VASIs/PAPIs

you can descend below 100 of TDZ threshold if you see what?

threshold lights/markings, TDZ lights/markings, red terminating bars, REILS, or VASIs/PAPIs

alternates reg

91.169

when do you need an alternate?

always!!! unless one hour and after you have a 2k ceiling and 3sm vis at destination

can you file an alternate that doesn’t have an approach?

yes! if you can descend and land VFR (visual from MEA to landing)

if the alternate doesn’t have an approach published, does your main one need an approach published?

yes, and vice versa (need at least one published approach)

precision vs non-precision minimums? and when do they apply?

applies at an alternate

600’ — 2sm visibility precision

800’ — 2sm visibility non-precision

when filing an alternate, you need to look at the plate to see if _____apply, per the TPP

non-standard alternates

if you don’t have WAAS, you can file a GPS approach at ____(one or both) airport(s)

one!

If a VOR is out at your alternate but your GPS works, can you still land?

yes! your flight plan is just a plan. Land the plane in emergencies

When do you switch from magenta to green data?

at KADS, from Bonoo once established at half scale deflection

where is the glideslope relative to the runway?

200-250ft offset of centerline, and 750-1250ft high per AIM 1-1-9

Photonegative C means

expanded circling

in normal circling, you have to stay _____away from the ______

1.3nm runway threshold

Vso

stall speed in landing configuration

How do you know when to use a timed approach?

if no MAP is present

when does the odds and even thousands rule start?

3000agl

Precision FAF intercept altitude is always read as

“at or above ___ and where we intercept the glideslope”

at a high altitude FAF, you intercept with

half-scale deflection of glideslope only

what constitutes a high altitude interception

anything above prescribed altitude

when do you not do a procedure turn?

Cleared for straight in 

Hold in lieu 

DME arc

Radar vectors to final 

no PT

Timed 

Teardrop
