What's the difference between MIL IGS and IGS approach?
IGS has third possibility of own navigation additional to SRE or FLORAKO
What are the speeds for Q and P approach?
Q:
- F5 -> 180 kts
- F18 -> 220 - 140 kts
- PC9, PC21 -> 140 kts
- PC7, AS, EC -> 120 kts
S:
- F5, F18 -> 300 kts
- PC21 -> 250 kts
- PC9 -> 220 kts
- PC7 -> 210 kts
What are some more detailed difference in the Q and P approach procedures?
Q:
- aircraft in landing configuration (gear down) and able for straight-in landing
- decision altitude lower than for P approach (weather conditions, minima as well)
P:
- aircraft in clean configuration (gear up) and not able for straight-in landing (high speed, tactical approach) -> LOW CIRGLING below clouds to reduce speed and to lower gear
- therefore decision altitude higher (bettwe weather conditions and minima required)
Which points have an influence on the decision about kind of approach?
- pilot and ATC decision (ATCO and/or CFO)
- METEO
- type of acft (equipment, performance)
- pilot qualification
- fuel state
- number of APP expected
Which points have an influence on the decision about Q or P approach?
- METEO
- icing
- fuel
- configuration
- decision altitude
- procedure after decision altitude
Where are all the different approaches published?
Within the OM C, Instrument Approach & Departure Procedures Switzerland, FLIP (Flight Information Publication) for every airbase.
What are the radar separation minimas for FLUR?
en-route: 5 NM
beyond 20 NM radius of antenna: 5 NM
20 NM radius or less of an ASR antenna: 3 NM
What are the radar separation minimas for QUAD - SRE/PAR?
en-route: N/A
beyond 20 NM radius of antenna: 5 NM
20 NM radius or less of an ASR antenna: 5 NM (-> PAR during final approach = 3 NM)
What are the radar separtion minimas for MRT?
en-route: 5 NM
beyond 20 NM radius of antenna: 5 NM
20 NM radius or less of an ASR antenna: 5 NM
For formation flights a minimum radar separation of ...? NM has to be established.
6
Prior approach, the pilot has to be informed about ... ?
- position (in the circuit)
- type of approach
- sequence for approach
- METAR, including RWY condition
When different radio channels are used for QUADRADAR approaches, when should the channel be switched? How does the radar handover work?
during steady, level flight
After having given the descent instrucion, the SRE ATCO shall transfer the aircraft to the PAR ATCO.
When should a radar handover from the SRE ATCO to the PAR ATCO normally be effected? What elements shall be included?
between 15 NM and 7 NM from touchdown
- callsign
- distance from touchdown
- position relative to centre line
- heading
- intention
- frequency
What's the phraseology for the PAR ATCO when accepting the handover?
"Identified and accepted"
What is EOS? What is it used for?
Electro Optical Signal Device
Used to coordinate approaches between TOWER and RADAR. Radar controller requests clearance for approach by pushing the RWY designator, Tower controller approves or denies approach by pushing green or red button. Landing clearance then normally will be given from approach controller.
What's the purpose of the EOS?
to reduce workload (frequency change) for the pilot on short final
What has to be done in addition to the EOS procedure?
TOWER CHECK:
- callsign
- distance from touchdown
- intention
- channel
With which aircraft types are IFR formation flights possible?
jet aircraft only, except PC-7 for active members of the PC-7 team
An IFR formation is composed of only ...? aircraft at a time.
2
The wingman chooses his distance to the leader depending on what? Where?
density of the cloud and associated visual conditions
echelon right parade
Under radar control, ATC has to be advised then the formation size exceeds which minimas? By whom?
1 NM horizontally and 100 ft vertically
flight leader
Aircraft participating in formation flgihts in EUR RVSM airspace are permitted to operate within ... m (... ft)? above or below the flight leader and at a distance not exceeding ... NM (... km)? from the flight leader only.
30 m (100 ft)
0.5 NM (1 km)
How does join-up and rejoing work?
whenever practicable under VMC
wingman is expected to inform ATC of intended join-up when wanting to join lead element out of a radar trail
Can the formation anytime split and change lead?
No, under radar control air crews are required to obtain a break-up clearance from ATC.
Lead change in IMC shall be considered only as an emergency procedure.
What are factors for formation flight? (5)
- pilot qualification
- aircraft equipment (onboard radar working?)
- METEO during approach (heavy turbulence, icing)
- METEO conditions at desination, runway condition
- type of approach available
What are the procedures for formation flight? (7)
- establish formation under VMC ("holding hands")
- wingman right side
- RTF only with leader
- read back of IFR DEP CLR for wingman as well
- transponder STBY for wingman (garbling!)
- restrictions on some airbases
- max. size of 2 aircraft (except PC7 and Patrouille Suisse)
What happens when loss of sight?
wingman reports "BLIND" on radio
- during level flight: wingman does heading change of 20° or more to the RIGHT and climb
- during turn: wingman does lower the aircraft nose - wings level - climb
- during final APP: wingman does turn at least 5° do the RIGHT and climb
In all cases wingman generally reports procedure on frequency.
