No Gyro GCA Approaches

T-6A INSTRUMENT NAVIGATION

CHAPTER FIVE

510. NO GYRO GCA APPROACHES

This type of approach will be introduced to you during intermediates. It is procedurally the same

as the normal GCA approach. You can perform a no gyro ASR or PAR. Since you will have no

EHSI (and perhaps no Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator [EADI]), the controller will vector

you on course by use of the verbiage "Start turn" and "Stop turn." You will be advised to make

SRT until established on final. Continue to make SRT until advised by ATC. Once on final, you

will be advised to make all turns at half standard rate.

NOTE

Once on GCA final (heading within 10 of runway), stop relaying

all ATC instructions (start turn, stop turn) to the IP, but continue

responding to ATC until advised, "Do not acknowledge further

transmissions". However, clearance to land (option, etc.), direction

to waveoff/go around, traffic calls, and direct questions always

require a response.

Monitor pilot inputs to ensure he complies with instructions and direct IP corrections as

needed.

511. MISSED APPROACH

A missed approach is a procedure used to discontinue an instrument approach in the event visual

contact has not been established or the aircraft is not in a position to make a safe landing. Your

primary concern, if unable to land, is to climb to a safe altitude. Therefore, establishing and

maintaining a positive rate of climb should be your first reaction if a missed approach is

commenced. Your second reaction should be to turn the aircraft (if required) to intercept the

missed approach course or to the designated heading. (There may be a mountain dead ahead.)

The approach plate contains a pictorial representation of the missed approach that can be found

in the profile view. The verbiage for the missed approach will be located at the top, right (above

the frequency box). The missed approach will be briefed as part of the Approach Brief and

reviewed between the completion of the Before Landing Checklist and the MAP/DH. Ask your

IP if he requires a missed approach review. The review consists of:

Point:

Point at which to execute the missed approach.

Heading:

First heading to turn.

Altitude:

First climb altitude.

Missed approach prior to the FAF

1. If executing a LOC (ILS/LOC) approach and full-scale deflection of the CDI occurs prior

to FAF, do not descend below the FAF altitude, inform ATC, and follow ATC instructions.
