6.
Simulated GCA minimum fuel
a.
ATC will give vectors for a normal box pattern with a
glidepath intercept point 6 miles from touchdown
b.
Expect 200 KIAS in pattern to final
c.
ATC should provide 30-second gear warning
NOTE: The “perform landing checks” call from the
controller is a required USN/USMC advisory call on base
leg in the GCA pattern. It DOES NOT mean to dirty up or
reduce airspeed in a minimum fuel situation.
7.
Simulated minimum fuel ILS
a.
Request vectors to ILS final
b.
Advise ATC that you will maintain 200 KIAS until ILS
glidepath intercept
c.
Transition to landing configuration when the GS pointer
emerges from the top of the HSI (30-second warning) to
glidepath
8.
Simulated emergency fuel GCA
NOTE: This GCA is designated to get an aircraft from altitude
to the deck without any undue delay. It is a practice procedure
for dealing with emergency fuel situations.
a.
Expect vector direct to a short final, approximately 4 miles
to the runway
b.
Glidepath intercept will be approximately 800 ft AGL
NOTE: The controller will ask you how much fuel is
remaining and will attempt to get you on the deck prior to
fuel exhaustion.
c.
Request 30-second warning call to glidepath intercept
