    Limited Visibilty...

    in General

    Posted

    Ok Guys,

     

    Imagine you are the second pilot required to land at the Brisbane G20 behind your fellow Osprey...

    You see where he landed, then you loose all visibility, but your trained to ignore that, pick your spot and land.

    Just amazing confidence by the first pilot, and simply incredible skills by the second to not go-around!!!

     

    Enjoy...

    Question on the Swift7 SID out of Cairns

    in Pilot Training

    Posted

    And, just to add...

     

    I only make this point of half-scale deflection because when I am doing ATC and I tell a pilot to report established on the Localiser, or report established on a VOR, they always get themselves

    to the Localiser or Radial and then turn back and forth until they are perfectly established on it. This takes time and they sometimes end up above the Glide Slope because they are trying to

    get the Localiser centered before they call "Established"!

     

    So, I want EVERYONE to realise that you don't have to have the needle in the middle to call established. Half scale deflection is suffice.

    That's my point.

     

    Thanks all.

    Question on the Swift7 SID out of Cairns

    Ok Rusty, here goes....

     

    I don't have the definitions for being established on a radial to hand

    You don't need to look for the definition because I already wrote it above! But, just to give you a definitive quote:

    ICAO Rules and Procedures 2014

    The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) definition of established on course requires the aircraft to be within half scale deflection for the ILS and VOR,

    or within +/- 5 degrees of the required bearing for the NDB.

    The FAA rules state the EXACT same phrase.

     

    surely there is an additional requirement with regards to the movement of the aircraft through the radial

    No, there isn't.

     

    Otherwise, any aircraft crossing a radial will by definition have been deemed as being established once within the deflection stated in Darryl's definition

    C'mon, really? You know they figure that pilots have got at least a small brain! If you are flying at 90 degrees to the VOR you are not going to call "Established with every crossing radial!:think:

     

    You are either told verbally by ATC to establish on a radial OR you are required by a written procedure (SID/STAR, LOC, ETC) to establish on a radial. When you get HALF SCALE Deflection of the

    instrument, you can officially say you ARE ESTABLISHED. It's not rocket science and it shouldn't be made more complicated than it is.

     

    Hope this helps Rusty.

    "Full Scale Deflection" NOT Established!

     

    "Half Scale Deflection" Tell ATC you are "now ESTABLISHED".

     

    This means you are "ESTABLISHED and Maintaining the [selected] Radial". (BTW, your not just established, your flying RIGHT ON IT and hopefully you can now maintain it until told otherwise).

     

    Here to help:D

    Also Rob,

     

    The term INTERCEPT means to track to the Radial and establish yourself on it (NOT crossing it). To be "established" on a radial you must have "Half scale deflection" of the VOR CDI (Course Deviation Indicator).

    A VOR instrument has a circle in the middle which the sides of the circle equal 2 degrees, then each DOT going away from the circle equals 2 degrees also. To consider yourself "established", and thereby able to tell ATC you "are established on the radial 080 Cairns" you must have the needle leaning half way out of the instrument. Does this make sense? The same goes for a Localiser, where you need half scale deflection to be established also. BUT, due to the higher accuracy required in an ILS, each dot on the VOR instrument is worth HALF a Degree, instead of 2 degrees when its being used as a VOR.

     

    Also, whenever you tell ATC any information associated with a navigation aid you MUST include the identifier of the aid so that ATC knows what station you are referencing the information to! ......

    "ABC is 22 DME Maroochydore"

    "ABC established on the Cairns Radial 080"

    "ABC is approximately 25 nautical miles and bearing 180 inbound reference the Archerfield NDB"

     

    And to the original question, establish on the radial AT 4000' then, and only then, turn to track to SWIFT.

     

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Regards

    Great news Rhys!:thumbs:

     

    Remember, there are plenty of RL pilots in this forum and if you have any questions that concern you please do not hesitate to put them up here and we will give you all the answers (including current references to AIP/ERSA/VFG, etc) you need.:D

    We are here to help you get through.

     

    I'll give you a great saying to start you off....

     

    There are 2 things of no use to a pilot. The runway behind them and the fuel in the truck!

    So avoid intersection departures at all costs and ALWAYS take more fuel than needed for your private flights!

    Dont f**k around in the plane, dont break a single rule or law and NEVER EVER, EVER show to others. Fly the plane as perfect as you can. Impress those around you with your airmanship skills, knowledge and expertise. And remember the 3 most important things in aviation... SAFETY, SAFAETY & SAFETY.

     

    Congratulations and welcome to the elite group of people who are priveledged to call themselves a PILOT.

    DEP and APP airspace separation

    in General

    Posted

    In real life, the ownership of individual approach & departure airspaces within the TMA is very complex. For online purposes, this airspace is split on a case by case basis & in any case can be coordinated between the APP & DEP controllers at the beginning of each session.

     

    This is exactly what Nick Falcione and I did last night. We broke the ML TMA up into 4 sectors which, (1) gave us an equal amount of workload; (2) Increased the number of controllers the pilots talked to within the TMA, and; (3) was fair, equitable and, using teamspeak to liase with SNO CTR/ML TWR/APP-DEP's, made the whole evening exciting and a very efficient flow of traffic.

     

    So, as you see, I am all for the new DEP's on busy nights. As long as APP and DEP's liase and decide the airspace fairly, DEP's is a great ATC tool in our bags.

     

    Regards

    Daryl
