Q. What does the notation (Cpt)
adjacent to the clearance frequency mean? (i.e., SAN JOSE Clearance
(Cpt) 118.0)
A. Pre-taxi clearance procedures
is required. (Ref: AIM 5-20)
Q. Is the MSA obstacle clearance
still 1,000 feet in mountainous terrain?
A. Yes, the MSA provides 1,000 foot
obstacle clearance within a 25 NM radius from the navigational
facility identified just to the bottom right of the circle regardless
of whether the airport is located in a designated mountainous
area. When the circle is divided into sectors of different altitudes,
they are referred to as "minimum sector altitudes."
If the radius is other than 25 NM, it is stated. (Ref: AIM
5-44)
Q. True or False: The use of RVR
in lieu of reported visibility is optional for Part 91 operators?
A. False. RVR is to be used instead
of reported visibility for operations on any runway for which
RVR is given. Whether the operator is Part 91 or 135 or 121 is
not an issue. So, when available, touchdown RVR reports are controlling.
Also, a midRVR report may be substituted if a TDZRVR report is
not available. (Ref: AIM-Pilot/Controller Glossary)
Q. May a missed approach be initiated
after passing the FAF but before the MAP?
A. When an early missed approach
is executed, pilots should, unless otherwise cleared by ATC, fly
the approach as specified to the MAP at or above MDA (H) or DA
(H) before starting the turning maneuver. Protected obstacle
clearance areas for missed approaches are predicated on the assumption
that the go-around is initiated at the MAP no lower than MDA (H)
or DA (H). (Ref: AIM 5-56)
