(Refer to Figure 210.) What is the touchdown zone elevation for RWY 6? A) 173 feet MSL.
What is the LPV decision altitude for the LNK RNAV (GPS) RWY 32? A. 1,563 feet MSL.
2,400 feet MSL. Refer to Figure 73.) What is the minimum altitude at which you should intercept the glide slope on the ILS RWY 6 approach procedure? (Refer to Figure 177.)
200-feet increments for products between 800 feet and 3,000' 500-feet increments for products between 3,000 feet and 6,500' 25-meter increments for products below 150 meters.
The newer LP approaches allow you to get (a bit) lower than an LNAV approach (which uses the standard GPS Linear Lateral Guidance - 5nm / 1nm / . 3nm). Now, LPV adds the vertical descent component, so of course you will be able to go much lower with an LPV than an LP (just like you go lower on an ILS vs.
As of February 2016 there are over 3,500 LNAV/ VNAV lines of minima serving 1,669 airports. Pilots may use WAAS-enabled GPS systems for LNAV, but WAAS is not mandatory. WAAS equipment is mandatory for LP.
If you fail your glide path indicator (put a sticker on it) and you are - for any reason - not visual with the runway at your minimums passing the DTL go around, do not change back to the ILS.
what is the recommended descent angle and descent rate for the RNAV RWY 36 approach with a groundspeed of 105 knots? the ILS RWY16 approach in the figure (like most other ILS approaches) has a designed descent angle of 3 degrees (see the GS 3.00° in the profile view of the approach).
In general for the ILS, the glideslope intercept will be at the approximate position of the outer marker or 4-7 miles from the threshold.
Pilots flying under the rules of FAR Part 91 are allowed to attempt an instrument approach even when the weather is below minimums.
Definition. Localiser (LOC) and Localiser Type Directional Aid (LDA) Approaches are defined as non-precision runway approach aids based on a single ground based radio beam which provides pilots with horizontal guidance during an approach to land.
Once cleared for the approach, the pilot is expected to maintain any previously assigned altitude until inside that arc. Aircraft 1 and 2 could start their descent immediately to the TAA sector's altitude, 3000 feet in this case. Aircraft 3 would have to wait until it's inside 30 miles from RIGHT.
Localiser Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) is a subset of Area Navigation (RNAV) Approach minima that are available at some locations in various parts of the world. Approaches to LPV minima have characteristics which are very similar to an Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach.
All you need to do is google a bit. That said, if your plane can fly LPV approaches you'd know that. It requires WAAS-quality GPS receiver, and to install that requires at least a logbook entry. Note that it's not only a matter of equipment.
LPV approach minimums, usually 200 or 250 feet agl, are typically the lowest available on a GPS approach. Other minimum choices may include LNAV/VNAV, LP, LNAV and circling. You can usually ignore the LNAV/VNAV minimums, since LPV minimums are almost always lower.
Localizer Performance with Vertical guidanceLPV (Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance) is similar to LNAV/VNAV except it is much more precise (40m lateral limit), enables descent to 200-250 feet above the runway, and can only be flown with a WAAS receiver.
