Magnetic Compass
• Errors– Variation - the angular difference between the
true and magnetic pole– Deviation - errors due to magnetic interference
with the metal components of the aircraft– Magnetic dip - the compass tries to point down
deep inside the earth

Departure and Arrival Charts• DPs, STARs and visual approaches are
routinely assigned by ATC
• DPs and STARs are issued to simplify clearance delivery procedures.
• Use “No DP” or “No STAR” in remarks, if you do not want to use them
![Page 30: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Departure and Arrival Charts
• To accept a DP you must at least have the textual description
• Use the rate of climb table in Legend 18 to convert a specified minimum rate of climb per NM to convert the climb rate into feet per minute
![Page 31: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

• Must comply with the VFR altitudes
![Page 37: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
VFR-ON-TOP
• Both IFR and VFR rules apply
• Prohibited in Class A airspace
• A clearance “to VFR-on-top” is to fly through cloud layers to VFR conditions on top
![Page 38: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Reports

![Page 40: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Holding
• Turns are made to the right in a standard holding pattern, and to the left in a non-standard holding pattern
• The entry procedure for a holding pattern depends on your heading relative to the holding course
![Page 41: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Approach Charts
• Absence of a procedure turn or holding pattern indicates a course reversal is not authorized
• TDZE(Touchdown zone elevation) is the highest elevation in the first 3,000 ft of the landing surface
![Page 46: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Approach Charts
• TCH(Threshold crossing height) is the altitude at which you cross the runway threshold when established on the glide slope centerline
• The procedure turn must be completed within the prescribed distance from the facility
![Page 47: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Approach Charts
• The precision approach FAF is located at the minimum glide slope intercept point
• When on the glide slope during a precision approach, the missed approach point is the decision height
![Page 48: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Approach Charts
• When the glide slope becomes inoperative during an ILS procedure, localizer minimums are used
• Substitution for certain ILS components, when the component is inoperative are permitted
![Page 49: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Approach Charts
• If your groundspeed decreases, the rate of descent required to stay on glide slope must also decrease
• Localizer and glide slope indications become more sensitive as you get closer to the runway
![Page 50: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Approach Procedures
• An LDA approach is comparable to a localizer, but is not aligned with the runway
• An SDF may offer less accuracy than an LDA approach
![Page 51: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Contact Approach
• Must be requested by the pilot, the visibility must be at least one mile, allows the pilot to deviate from an instrument approach procedure and proceed to the destination airport by visual reference to the surface
![Page 52: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Weather Factors
• Highs are usually associated with– Good visibility– Light winds– Few clouds– Good weather– Characterized by descending air
![Page 53: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Weather Factors
– Lows are usually associated with• precipitation
• cloudiness
• poor visibility
• bad weather
• turbulence
• Wind
• characterized by rising air
• Example of lows are hurricanes and tornadoes
![Page 54: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Weather Factors
• Air tries to flow from high to low– At higher altitudes, Coriolis force makes the
wind flow parallel with isobars– At lower altitudes, surface friction weakens
Coriolis force and flows across the isobars– This airflow is wind
![Page 55: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Weather Factors
• In the northern hemisphere– Air flows counterclockwise around a low
(cyclonic)– Air flows clockwise around a high
(anticyclonic)– If one were to fly directly to the center of a low,
the winds would come from the left and get stronger as one got closer
![Page 56: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Weather Factors
• Relative Humidity– Measure of how much moisture is present for a
a parcel of air at a temperature.– If a parcel of air has a RH of 100%, it is
saturated. The temperature that it is at is called the dewpoint. If this parcel were cooled more, water vapor would clouds, fog, dew or frost
![Page 57: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Thunderstorms
• Conditions– Unstable air– Lifting action– High moisture content
• Stages– Cumulus stage Mature stage– Dissipating stage
![Page 58: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Hazards
• Embedded thunderstorms may be obscured by cloud layers
• Wind shear can be found on all sides as well as directly under it
• Greatest intensity during mature stage, which is signaled by precipitation at the surface
![Page 59: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Types of Thunderstorms
• Airmass thunderstorms are usually isolated or scattered over a large area
• Frontal thunderstorms associated with frontal activity
• Squall line is a narrow band of active thunderstorms normally containing severe weather
![Page 60: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Wake Turbulence
• Wingtip vortices occurs when an airplane generates lift
• They can exceed the roll rate of an aircraft
• Greatest when an aircraft is heavy, slow and clean
![Page 61: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Clear Air Turbulence
• Turbulence above 15,000 feet AGL not associated with cumuliform cloudiness is reported as CAT
• CAT is common in a upper trough on the polar side of the jet stream
![Page 62: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Mountain Wave Turbulence
• Greatest turbulence occurs approaching the lee side of a mountain range in strong headwinds
• Standing lenticular and rotor clouds indicate the possibility of strong turbulence
![Page 63: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Microbursts
• Intense, localized downdrafts seldom lasting longer than 15 minutes
• Downdrafts can be as strong as 6,000 feet per minute
• Performance changes drastically as an aircraft flies through a microburst
![Page 64: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Fog
• Radiation Fog - ground fog - forms over fairly flat land on clear, calm nights
• Advection fog- forms near coastal areas when moist air moves over colder ground or water
![Page 65: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Fog• Upslope fog forms when moist stable air is
forced up a sloping land mass
• Steam fog occurs as cool air moves over warmer water
• Precipitation-induced fog forms when warm rain falls through a layer of cooler air near the surface
![Page 66: Review Instrument Final](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070406/568141fd550346895daddd7b/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
