Task B. Precision Approach

Knowledge

What you should understand and be able to explain.

4 elements

• IR.VI.B.K1
  Procedures and limitations associated with a precision approach, including determining required descent rates and adjusting minimums in the case of inoperative equipment.
• IR.VI.B.K2
  Navigation system displays, annunciations, and modes of operation.
• IR.VI.B.K3
  Ground-based and satellite-based navigation systems (orientation, course determination, equipment, tests and regulations, interference, appropriate use of navigation data, signal integrity).
• IR.VI.B.K4
  A stabilized approach, including energy management concepts.

Risk management

Risks to recognize and decisions to consider.

7 elements

• IR.VI.B.R1
  Deviating from the assigned approach procedure.
• IR.VI.B.R2
  Selecting a navigation frequency.
• IR.VI.B.R3
  Management of automated navigation and autoflight systems.
• IR.VI.B.R4
  Aircraft configuration during an approach and missed approach.
• IR.VI.B.R5
  An unstable approach, including excessive descent rates.
• IR.VI.B.R6
  Deteriorating weather conditions on approach.
• IR.VI.B.R7
  Continuing to descend below the Decision Altitude (DA)/Decision Height (DH) when the required visual references are not visible.
