When executing climbout instructions, when can you begin the turn?

400 feet AGL

If the precision and nonprecision MAPs are not collocated, what type of approach is the published MAP for?

True or False? Full flaps are required when beginning the visual descent to the runway after an instrument approach.

False

True or False? If you reach MDA but are flying in and out of VFR through ragged clouds, you may descend below MDA to maintain visual contact with the landing environment.

False

True or False? Flying an approach to a narrow runway may give the impression of being below glidepath on final.

False - of being above glidepath

True or False? Bright approach lights suddenly appearing on final approach can give an impression of being below glidepath.

False - of being above glidepath resulting in diving for the lights

True or False? You can plan to circle from either a precision or nonprecision approach.

False - under normal circumstances, only circle from a nonprecision approach

True or False? Climbout instructions supersede published missed approach instructions and constitute an ATC clearance.

True

True or False? Flying an approach to a runway wider than normally experienced can give the illusion of being below the glidepath.

True

True or False? On runways with precision instrument approaches, the visual glideslope indicators are adjusted to coincide with precision approach glidepath.

True

During a missed approach procedure, when can you adjust pitch and power from initial settings?

when airspeed reaches 140-180 KIAS

When should you execute a missed approach from the circling maneuver?

when you lose sight of sufficient landing environment references to remain oriented and complete the circling maneuver

When should you request a circling maneuver?

when you request the instrument approach

All approach lighting systems have _____ lights.

white

What symbol on the airport sketch indicates that the airfield has pilot controlled lighting?

white L on black circle

When can you retract the gear and flaps during a missed approach procedure?

with positive climb indications on both the altimeter and the VSI

If you transition from the MDA to a visual descent to the runway at the MAP, your aim point should probably be ______.

further down the runway than for a normal contact landing

Execute a ______ if you have started a visual descent from an instrument approach and you cannot safely land the aircraft.

go-around/waveoff (keyword: *visual*)

When transitioning from instrument to visual references, where should you look for the landing environment?

in the direction determined by relationship of the final course vector and visual references identified in the airport sketch

Of precision or nonprecision approaches, which approach requires more visual cues?

nonprecision

What increases susceptibility to spatial disorientation?

rapid and/or large attitude corrections or head movements

What should you check before accepting ATC circling instructions?

that compass direction and pattern direction are consistent

How is the airport elevation defined?

the MSL altitude of the highest point of an airport's usable runways

The numbers on runway remaining markers represent amount of runway remaining in _____.

thousands of feet

Which lighting system can be used as a HIRL, MIRL, and LIRL system?

three step HIRL

True or False? The circling MDA and weather minimums to be used are for the runway to which the instrument approach is being flown.

true

When performing a circling maneuver, plan your turn to base to permit a _____ NM final.

1/4-1/2

How long will pilot controlled lighting remain on?

15 minutes

Unless specified on the approach plate, a climb gradient of ____ feet/NM is required to ensure obstacle clearance during the published missed approach.

200

At some airports, HIRL lights turn yellow _____ feet from the departure end.

2000

What is the first step to perform a missed approach?

Advance PCL to MAX

What aircraft category has the largest obstruction clearance radius?

Category E

Where can you find graphic descriptions of the configurations of various approach lighting systems?

Flight Information Handbook

Where can you find published circling approach restrictions for a particular airfield?

IAP for the airfield

The required visibility for an approach is based on seeing a minimum landing environment from the _____.

MAP

What are reasons you might execute a circling approach?

The runway served by the instrument approach is unsuitable; the instrument approach requires the circling maneuver

What methods are used to define the missed approach point for a nonprecision, nonradar approach?

Timing; DME; NAVAID

If an airport does not have published sidestep landing minimums, how do you know what minimums to use?

You can't - Maneuver only authorized from approaches with published sidestep landing minimums

What visual depiction indicates that an ALS has sequenced flashing lights?

a black dot at the top of the ALS identifier

A sidestep maneuver is a procedure in which you fly a published instrument approach to one runway, then perform _____ transition to land on an alternate runway.

a visual

When transitioning from instruments on an instrument final approach, when should you begin looking for visual references?

as you approach the MSL altitude for the reported ceiling

How is pilot controlled lighting activated?

key the mic a certain number of times (3, 5, 7) in 5 seconds

When may you lower full flaps (LDG) on a circling approach?

once you begin a normal descent to the runway

Why will a NOTAM be issued if an ALS is inoperative?

required visibility increases for all instrument approaches to the affected runway

Describe centerline lights.

row of white lights down the runway centerline until 3000 feet remaining, then alternating white and red from 3000 feet to 1000 feet remaining, and red the last 1000 feet of runway remaining

Describe Touchdown Zone Lighting (TDZ).

rows of white lights on both sides of centerline for the first 3000 feet of landing runway

the end of the solid black final course line in the planform view; and the end of the solid black final course line in the profile view
