pilot loads the instrument approach and decides to remain on autopilot. However, after the aircraft passes the initial approach fix, ATC cancels the approach clearance. ATC provides vectors and tells the pilot to expect to hold. In this situation ... comply with the assignment from ATC. The lower level of automation allows the pilot to program and configure the aircraft for an unexpected change while keeping the flightpath and aircraft state under control. 12295 Pilots may sometimes choose…

Approaches and landings are usually flown at speeds within the white arc. Figure 8-8. Single engine airspeed indicator (ASI). • Lower limit of white arc (VS0)—the stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration. In small aircraft, this is the power-off stall speed at the maximum landing weight in the landing configuration (gear and flaps down). • Upper limit of the white arc (VFE)—the maximum speed with the flaps extended. • Green…
