  • Chapter 4. Air Traffic Control › Section 4. ATC Clearances and Aircraft Separation › 4-4-12. Speed Adjustments

    STAR that was established by ATC with the previous restriction may be lost. g. Approach clearances supersede any prior speed adjustment assignments, and pilots are expected to make their own speed adjustments as necessary to complete the approach. However, under ... certain circumstances, it may be necessary for ATC to issue further speed adjustments after approach clearance is issued to maintain separation between successive arrivals. Under such circumstances, previously issued speed adjustments will be restated if that speed…

  • Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 5. Pilot/Controller Roles and Responsibilities › 5-5-9. Speed Adjustments

    When complying with speed adjustment assignments, maintains an indicated airspeed within plus or minus 10 knots or 0.02 Mach number of the specified speed. b. Controller. 1. Assigns speed adjustments to aircraft when necessary but not as a substitute ... vectoring technique. 2. Adheres to the restrictions published in FAA Order JO 7110.65, Air Traffic Control, as to when speed adjustment procedures may be applied. 3. Avoids speed adjustments requiring alternate decreases and increases. 4. Assigns speed adjustments…

  • Chapter 10. Helicopter Operations › Section 1. Helicopter IFR Operations › 10-1-2. Helicopter Instrument Approaches

    final and missed approach segment speeds must be limited to no more than 70 KIAS unless otherwise charted. Military RNAV Copter IAPs are limited to no more than 90 KIAS throughout the procedure. Use the published minima; no reductions allowed ... NOTE-Obstruction clearance surfaces are based on the aircraft speed identified on the approach chart and have been designed on RNAV approaches for 70 knots unless otherwise indicated. If the helicopter is flown at higher speeds, it may fly outside…

  • Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 4. Arrival Procedures › 5-4-7. Instrument Approach Procedures

    Pilots must carefully plan the initiation of all turns to ensure that the aircraft remains within the circling approach protected area. 4. Pilot technique. Pilots frequently have many options with regard to flightpath when conducting circling approaches. Sound planning ... flown should be carefully considered using current weather and terrain information to ensure that the aircraft remains within the circling approach protected area. d. It is important to remember that 14 CFR section 91.175(c) requires that “where a DA/DH…

  • Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Emergency Approaches and Landings (Simulated)

    given with the airplane in any configuration. If the simulated power failure occurs while above best glide speed, the pilot allows the airplane to slow (or may even bleed off speed by climbing) until reaching best glide speed. When reaching ... that speed, the nose can be lowered and the airplane trimmed to maintain that speed. If the failure occurs at or below best glide speed, the nose should be lowered immediately to maintain or accelerate to best glide speed…
