Approach/Landing - P-8210111

FAMILIARIZATION FLIGHTS (FAMS)

CHAPTER FOUR

STUDENT: "Engine anti-ice." (Challenge)

IP: "Off/On." (Reply)

STUDENT: "Tip tank dump not required. Fuel is 2.6, wings." (This is a good time to check

fuel status and develop an estimated fuel weight for computing on speed AOA as required in the

Landing Checklist).

The remaining three items in the Penetration Checklist are at the IP's discretion. For example,

the student asks the IP if he or she requires a field brief. Good crew coordination dictates the

student is prepared to provide a field and approach brief, regardless of the field and type of

approach selected. A holding brief is obviously only applicable if holding is expected.

416. APPROACH/LANDING

Visual Overhead

The visual overhead (break) is, weather permitting, the recovery of choice for most flights. It is

important for the student to be familiar with the local operating procedures.

Approaching the initial for the runway in use (i.e., X-ray for RWY 7), the student will report the

initial in sight to the Approach Controller.

STUDENT: "Pensacola Approach, ROKT 204, X-ray in sight."

APPROACH: "Roger ROKT 204, contact Tower."

STUDENT: "ROKT 204, switching Tower."

On initial contact with Tower, the student requests the "low break" unless otherwise instructed

by the IP.

STUDENT: "Tower, ROKT 204, two miles south of X-ray, request low break."

TOWER: "Roger ROKT 204, report the numbers runway 7R, low break approved."

STUDENT: "ROKT 204."

When approaching or overhead the numbers:

STUDENT: "Tower, ROKT 204, numbers."

TOWER: "ROKT 204, right break approved."
