- 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…

landings mechanically. Instead, it is necessary to convey problems and solutions (power, control, and configuration changes) based on what is actually happening on that specific approach. When an instructor teaches mechanically, they cause the learner to be ill-equipped ... simultaneously verifying that the aircraft is being flown safely. This may cause a decrease in attention to collision avoidance or loss of situational awareness. Excessive teaching and coaching on final approach may cause missed radio transmissions from air traffic…
- Chapter 3: Arrivals › Descent Planning
calculate the fuel, time, and distance required to descend from the cruising altitude to the approach gate altitude for the specific instrument approach at the destination airport. While in flight prior to the descent, it is important ... missed approaches that require a sufficient amount of fuel that should be calculated prior to starting the descent. In order to plan the descent, the pilot needs to know the cruise altitude, approach gate altitude or initial approach…
- Chapter 10: IFR Flight › Instrument Weather Flying › Wind Shear
This leaves the aircraft in a nose-low, power-low configuration when the tailwind shear occurs, which makes recovery more difficult, particularly near the ground. This type of wind shear scenario is likely while making an approach ... oncoming thunderstorm. Pilots should be alert for indications of wind shear early in the approach phase and be ready to initiate a missed approach at the first indication. It may be impossible to recover from a wind shear…
