  • Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 4. Arrival Procedures › 5-4-21. Missed Approach

    provided, the pilot should conform to radar vectors when provided by ATC in lieu of the published missed approach procedure. (See FIG 5-4-31.) e. Some locations may have a preplanned alternate missed approach procedure ... event the primary NAVAID used for the missed approach procedure is unavailable. To avoid confusion, the alternate missed approach instructions are not published on the chart. However, the alternate missed approach holding pattern will be depicted on the instrument approach…

  • Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Short-Field Approach and Landing

    Short-Field Approach and Landing Short-field approaches and landings require the use of procedures for approaches and landings at fields with a relatively short landing area or where an approach is made over obstacles that limit the available landing ... area. [Figure 9-20 and Figure 9-21] This low-speed type of power-on approach is closely related to the performance of flight near minimum controllable airspeeds. Figure 9-20. Landing over an obstacle. Figure 9-21. Landing…

  • LANDING › CONFINED AREA LANDING

    likelihood of the wind lifting a wing and flipping the seaplane. There is additional information on rough water landings in Chapter 8, Emergency Open Sea Operations. CONFINED AREA LANDING One of the first concerns when considering a landing ... confined area is whether it is possible to get out again. For most seaplanes, the takeoff run is usually much longer than the landing run. Before landing, the pilot should also consider the wind and surface conditions expected when…

  • Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 4. Arrival Procedures › 5-4-16. Simultaneous Close Parallel PRM Approaches and Simultaneous Offset Instrument A…

    Simultaneous Offset Instrument Approach (SOIA). 1. SOIA is a procedure used to conduct simultaneous approaches to runways spaced less than 3,000 feet, but at least 750 feet apart. The SOIA procedure utilizes a straight-in PRM approach ... runway, and a PRM offset approach with glideslope/glidepath to the adjacent runway. In SOIA operations, aircraft are paired, with the aircraft conducting the straight-in PRM approach always positioned slightly ahead of the aircraft conducting the offset PRM approach…

  • Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Power-Off Accuracy Approaches › 180° Power-Off Approach

    Full flaps should be delayed until it is clear that adding them will not cause the landing to be short of the point. The pilot should never try to stretch the glide or retract the flaps to reach the desired ... landing spot. On short final, full attention is given to making a good, safe landing rather than concentrating on the selected landing spot. The approach angle used and final approach airspeed determine the probability of landing on the spot…

  • Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Normal Approach and Landing

    Normal Approach and Landing Normal approach and landing procedures are used when the engine power is available, the wind is light or the final approach is made directly into the wind, the final approach path has no obstacles ... landing surface is firm and of ample length to gradually bring the airplane to a stop. The selected landing point is normally beyond the runway approach threshold but within the first 1⁄3 of the runway. The factors involved…
