T-45C IUT BIFP-03
GCA Procedures
E.
Estimate initial rate of descent required
1.
To maintain glidepath on PAR
2.
To reach MDA prior to MAP on ASR
3.
Rate of descent will vary for different
glideslope angles and ground speeds
a.
Check radar instrument approach
minimums in front of FLIP (Terminal)
for glideslope angle
b.
Estimate ground speed by applying
estimated wind factor to IAS computed
for weight & configuration
c.
Check inside back cover of FLIP
(Terminal) for rate of descent table
F.
Slow to 200 KIAS prior to GCA pattern entry
II.
Precision radar approaches (PARs)
Sg 2, fr 2
GCA PROCEDURES
* Descent to GCA pattern
What is the primary difference between a
* Precision radar approaches
?
PAR and an ASR?
* Surveillance radar approaches
* Performing missed approaches
ANSWER: You will be provided with glideslope
information on a PAR.
