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.

The primary area of an instrument approach segment is: A – the most critical part of the segment where the minimum altitude should be kept very carefully B – a defined area symmetrically disposed about the normal flight track in which full obstacle clearance is provided C – the first part of the segment D – the outside part of the segment where the obstacle clearance increases from 0 ft to the appropriate minimum Ref: AIR: atpl, ir; HELI: atpl, ir Ans: B 29. Under what circumstances would an ILS glide path in excess of 3o be used?

Where does the initial approach segment in an instrument approach procedure commence? A – At the IF B – At the IAF C – At the FAF D – At the final en-route fix Ref: AIR: atpl, ir; HELI: atpl, ir Ans: B 32. Were an operational advantage can be obtained, an ILS procedure may include a dead reckoning segment from a fix to the localiser.
