Flagrum Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Wags and Lex are teaching us how to fly the differnt approach types. Nice! B..but maybe someone can explain briefly: - what are the general differences between the types? - what defines which type is to be used? I assume, it comes down to weather and visibility? But what are the pros and cons of each type for what kind of environment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flamin_Squirrel Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Short version: Weather is the determining factor, yes. Case I: Requires 3,000 feet and 5 miles visibility. Below this, Case II/III. Case II: Requires 1,000 feet ceiling and 5 miles visibility. Below this, Case III. Case III: When below the above limits, and at night. Case I employs VFR approach, break, and pattern. Case III is straight in on instruments. Case II is a hybrid. Initial approach is on instruments, then Case I type pattern once visual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flamin_Squirrel Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 You can already do Case I and II. Use Tacan for Case II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
