GCA Procedures
MOTIVATION
Ground-controlled approaches (GCAs) are important to you because they are one of
the most precise means available for recovering an aircraft under IFR conditions. You
will receive many hours of hands-on practice in GCAs because of their importance
and because they require use of virtually every basic instrument maneuver you have
learned. Knowing when and how to execute a proper missed approach for GCAs is
the final step in becoming comfortable with precision instrument approaches.
OVERVIEW
At the completion of this lesson you will be able to identify similarities and differences
between precision (PAR) and surveillance (ASR) GCAs. You will be aware of the
communication requirements and be familiar with the scan techniques involved. You
will also be able to identify the decision points and procedures for performing missed
approaches.
In this lesson we will be studying:
*
Flight path information provided on a PAR approach
*
Procedures and scan techniques for a PAR approach
*
Communication procedures for a PAR approach
*
Flight path information provided on an ASR approach
*
Procedures and scan techniques for flying an ASR approach
*
Communication procedures for an ASR approach
*
Procedures and scan techniques for performing a missed approach
