You are on an IFR flight executing a circling approach. A descend below the MDA should not be made until: 1. the pilot has the landing threshold in sight 2. visual reference has been established and can be maintained 3. the required obstacle clearance can be maintained and a landing can be made The combination regrouping all the correct answers is: A – 2, 3 B – 1, 2 C – 1, 2, 3 D – 1, 3 Ref: AIR: atpl, ir; HELI: atpl, ir Ans: C 19. The protection areas associated with instrument approach procedures are determined with the assumption that turns are performed at a bank angle of: A – 25o or the bank angle giving a 3o/s turn rate, whichever is lower, for departure and approach instrument procedures, 25o for circling-to-land with prescribed flight tracks and 15o for missed approach procedures B – 25o or the bank angle giving a 3o/s turn rate, whichever is lower, for departure and approach instrument procedures, as well as circle-to-land, and 15o for missed approach procedures C – The bank angle giving a 3o/s turn rate for all procedures with airspeed limitation related to aeroplane categories D – 25o or the bank angle giving a 3o/s turn rate, whichever is lower, for departure, approach or missed approach instrument procedures, as well as circling-to-land (with or without prescribed flight tracks) Ref: AIR: atpl, ir; HELI: atpl, ir Ans: D 20.
