What is the definition of 'Altitude'?
The vertical distance of a level, a point or an object measured from mean sea level
Which type of instrument approach procedure is designed for 3D instrument approach operations Type A or B?
SBAS CAT I
What is the purpose of the intermediate fix (IF) in RNAV applications?
Marks the beginning of the intermediate segment
What does LPV stand for in the context of approach charts?
Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance
What is the minimum descent altitude/height (MDA/H) referenced to in a circling approach?
Aerodrome elevation
Which one of these is the correct definition of a Balked Landing?
A landing manoeuvre that is unexpectedly discontinued at any point below the OCA/H.
Which one of these is the correct definition of a Circling Approach?
An extension of an instrument approach procedure which provides for visual circling of the aerodrome prior to landing.
Which one of these is the correct definition of Controlled Airspace?
An airspace of defined dimensions within which air traffic control service is provided in accordance with the airspace classification.
Which one of these is the correct definition of Decision Altitude (DA) or Decision Height (DH)?
A specified altitude or height in a 3D instrument approach operation at which a missed approach must be initiated if the required visual reference to continue the approach has not been established.
Which type of approach procedure is designed for 2D instrument approach operations?
Non-precision approach (NPA) procedure
What is the difference between a non-precision approach (NPA) procedure and an approach procedure with vertical guidance (APV)?
NPA procedures provide lateral navigation guidance only, while APV procedures provide both lateral and vertical navigation guidance.
What is the primary navigational reference for the GBAS landing system (GLS)?
Computer-generated navigation data from ground-based, space-based, self-contained navigation aids or a combination of these
Which one of these is the correct definition of a significant point in aviation?
A point expressed as radials, bearings, and/or distances from ground-based navigation aids
What is the purpose of a Standard Instrument Arrival (STAR) in aviation?
To link a significant point with a point where a published instrument approach procedure can be commenced
What does the term 'Transition level' refer to in aviation?
The lowest flight level available for use above the transition altitude
What is the purpose of a flyover waypoint in aviation?
To initiate a turn in order to join the next segment of a route or procedure
Which one of these is the correct definition of obstacle clearance altitude (OCA) or obstacle clearance height (OCH)?
The lowest altitude above mean sea level used in establishing compliance with appropriate obstacle clearance criteria.
What is the purpose of an obstacle free zone (OFZ)?
To provide airspace above the inner approach surface, inner transitional surfaces, and balked landing surface that is not penetrated by any fixed obstacle.
What is a point-in-space (PinS) approach?
An approach procedure designed for helicopters only that includes both a visual and an instrument segment.
What is a procedure turn?
A manoeuvre in which a turn is made away from a designated track followed by a turn in the opposite direction to permit the aircraft to intercept and proceed along the reciprocal of the designated track.
