Study Notes
Precision ILS Approach
- Provides horizontal and vertical guidance to aircraft in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) to land at an airport
- Objective: transition aircraft from en route airspace structure to landing
- Guides aircraft horizontally and vertically along runway's extended centerline
Procedures for Precision ILS Approach
- Study selected approach plate and conduct approach briefing
- Tune and identify appropriate navigational facilities
- Check and set heading indicator against magnetic compass
- Complete before landing checklist
- Set flaps to 10 degrees and slow to approach speed prior to intercepting final approach course
- Track localizer inbound until intercepting glide slope
- Track localizer and glide slope to Decision Altitude (DA)
- Execute normal approach and landing procedure at DA with runway environment in sight
- Execute missed approach procedure at DA with no visual contact with runway environment
Missed Approach Procedure
- Formulated for each published instrument approach
- Allows pilot to return to airway structure while remaining clear of obstacles
- Objective: safely and efficiently transition from final approach segment to missed approach segment when landing minimums not met
- Initiated at point where aircraft has descended to authorized landing minimums at specified distance or time from facility with no visual contact
- Initiated when directed by ATC
Procedures for Missed Approach
- Study approach plate to become familiar with published missed approach flight path or directions given by ATC
- Apply full power and establish climb pitch attitude at DA or Missed Approach Point (MAP) with no visual contact
- Retract flaps with positive rate of climb
- Proceed as directed along missed approach path
- Notify ATC of missed approach
