In a Localizer and VOR hold what are we using to measure our hold?

Leg time

Standard Leg Time?

1 minute

1.5 minutes

In a GPS hold what are we using to measure our hold?

Distance; 4NM

Standard Holding Speed In Our Aircraft?

95 Knots

How to get wind correction angle?

Triple heading difference (ex. 180-175= 5×3= 15)

MHA

Minimum holding altitude; lowest ATC can allow a hold on fix

Max holding speed MHA- 6000 feet?

200 knots

230 knots

Max holding speed above 14000 feet?

265 knots

Where in aim are holding speeds mentioned?

AIM 538

Important button to press when in hold?

Suspend button, makes holding pattern solid

Why is TDZE important?

Altitude we can go 100 feet above when approach lights in sight

Should you round higher or lower for DA?

Higher

Type of altitude with ILS?

DA; altitude where decision must be made to go or to not go missed

Type of altitude with Localizer?

MDA, minimum descent altitude

What must you NOT do before missed approach point?

Turn, you can climb but cant turn unless ATC instructs you to do so

Where to find circling radius?

Digital Terminal Procedure Supplement under FAA

Acronym For IFR Clearance?

CRAFT

C(CRAFT)

Clearance

R(CRAFT)

Route

A(CRAFT)

Altitude

F(CRAFT)

Frequency

T(CRAFT)

Transponder/ squak code

What does clearance on request mean?

Waiting for JAX approach to process flight plan

How can you obtain IFR Clearance if in uncontrolled airport with VFR Conditions?

Get clearance once airborne if VFR conditions continue

How can you obtain IFR Clearance if in uncontrolled airport with IFR Conditions?

Call approach phone number on the ground

What is clearance void time and how long do they usually last?

Time that clearance is valid for, 30 minutes and based on zulu time

What MUST you do if you know you’re going to miss your void time?

Recall to get new clearance to prevent search and rescue operations

What does hold for release mean?

Can’t takeoff until tower gives you the go ahead, have to call up again to get new clearance

What must you do within clearance void time?

Takeoff and contact approach to checkin

Who cancels flight plan at controlled airport?

Tower

How can you cancel IFR flight plan if at uncontrolled airport?

Call approach phone number to cancel

What is the difference between VOR and VOR- A approach?

VOR-A, B, ETC are circle only approaches

What makes an approach circle only?

If final course is more than 30 degrees from runway or 400 FPNM (steep descent)
