  • Chapter 10: IFR Flight › Approach to an Airport With an Operating Tower, With an Approach Control › Missed Approaches

    Visual approach slope indicator (VASI) g) Touchdown zone or touchdown zone markings h) Touchdown zone lights i) Runway or runway markings j) Runway lights Missed Approaches A MAP is formulated for each published instrument approach and allows ... climb pitch attitude should be established while setting climb power. Configure the aircraft for climb, turn to the appropriate heading, advise ATC that a missed approach is being executed, and request further clearances. If the missed approach…

  • Chapter 10: IFR Flight › Approach to an Airport With an Operating Tower, With an Approach Control › Approaches to Parallel Runways

    ensure separation between aircraft on the adjacent parallel approach course. The approach procedure chart includes the note “simultaneous approaches authorized RWYS 14L and 14R,” identifying the appropriate runways. When advised that simultaneous parallel approaches ... advise approach control immediately of malfunctioning or inoperative components. Parallel approach operations demand heightened pilot situational awareness. The close proximity of adjacent aircraft conducting simultaneous parallel approaches mandates strict compliance with all ATC clearances and approach…

    authorized RNP approach value. This value may vary depending on aircraft configuration or operational procedures (e.g., use of flight director or autopilot). d. Radius-to-fix (RF) legs. Many RNP AR IFPs contain RF legs. Aircraft eligibility ... legs is required in any authorization for RNP AR operations. e. Missed Approach RNP value less than 1.00 NM. Some RNP AR IFPs require an RNP lateral accuracy value of less than 1.00 NM in the missed approach…

  • Chapter 4: Approaches › Autopilot Modes

    configured for landing before intercepting the glideslope to ensure a stabilized approach. As the aircraft intercepts the glideslope the pitch mode changes to G/S. Once the glideslope is captured by the autopilot, the PM can select the missed approach…

  • Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 4. Arrival Procedures › 5-4-5. Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) Charts

    aircraft equipped with Area Navigation (RNAV) systems. A TAA provides minimum altitudes with standard obstacle clearance when operating within the TAA boundaries. TAAs are primarily used on RNAV approaches but may be used on an ILS approach when ... functions as both an intermediate fix and an initial approach fix. The T configuration continues from the IF/IAF to the final approach fix (FAF) and then to the missed approach point (MAP). The two base leg IAFs…

  • Chapter 9: Navigation Systems › Instrument Approach Systems › Approach Azimuth Guidance

    Approach Azimuth Guidance The azimuth station transmits MLS angle and data on one of 200 channels within the frequency range of 5031 to 5091 MHz. The equipment is normally located about 1,000 feet beyond the stop ... transmitter. The azimuth coverage extends laterally at least 40° on either side of the runway centerline in a standard configuration, in elevation up to an angle of 15° and to at least 20,000 feet, and in range…
