# Oral Portion Passed # [[KHCR RNAV A.PDF]] - good job with feeder routes and fixes on approach - review circling maneuvering radius (can be found in the digital terminal procedures supplemental) - for expanded circling approach maneuving radius this will be based on the MDA of the approach - use the table to determine what the correct radius will be for the approach (keeping in mind that generally we will not be circling right at that radius) ![[Screenshot 2025-02-14 at 10.07.52 AM.png]] - asked about the meaning of "RNP APPROACH" - initially stated it meant radar approach - corrected himself $\rightarrow$ got it right - asked about the snowflake on the approach plate - stated that he had not seen that before - stated that it meant snow would be expected at or below -17 degrees # [[KAGS ILS or LOC RWY 35.pdf]] - correct entry from the IAF (BUSHE) - stated would fly outbound for about 5 miles before turning for the procedure turn - asked how he could determine this, stated would time for 3 minutes - going from the SOPs you should time for 2 minutes because the IAF is located off airport - stated that it was a localizer back course - corrected himself and stated that it was a front course after confirming it - asked about what would be required to operate below minimums - talked about approach lighting $\rightarrow$ correct - only mentioned having markings / lights in sight - don't forget about the required visibility and being in a position to mak a continuous descent to land! - was able to remember these after prodding --- - asked about distance holds - correct # ILS Approach Systems - stated localizer is 3 degrees wide - localizer is 700 feet wide at the runway threshold - stated that the glideslope is 6 degrees wide - good job with lighting questions - asked about VDP - good job - asked about shaded region from VDP to runway - good job # RNAV approaches - asked about TAA - the whole point of the TAA is so that you do not need to communicate with ATC for the descent # Autopilot - asked when you would arm approach mode on ILS - stated before crossing the final approach mode - asked about audio panel and intercom failure on approach with autopilot - stated that he would go missed because it would be lost comms - stated would turn the autopilot off because it could fail - remember that you need the audio panel to use the autopilot # Emergency Operations - AHRS failure - stated would report the failure to ATC immediately - [ ] review [[IFR Required Malfunction Reports]] - asked about low volts annunciator - stated would request vectors to VFR or continue to shoot the approach # Departure Procedures - use the TERPS and the POH for rate of climb required / calculating required rate of climb
