4 ideas to know cold.

Precision approach categories?

By decision height (DH) and runway visual range (RVR):

  • Cat I: DH ≥ 200 ft, RVR ≥ 550 m
  • Cat II: DH 100–200 ft, RVR ≥ 300 m
  • Cat IIIA: DH below 100 ft, RVR ≥ 175 m
  • Cat IIIB: DH below 50 ft, RVR 50–175 m
  • Cat IIIC: no DH, no RVR limit

What does Annex 9 cover?

Facilitation: smooth clearance of aircraft, crews, passengers, baggage and cargo at borders.

  • Customs, immigration, health and quarantine formalities
  • Standard documents such as the General Declaration

Flight and duty time limits?

Set in the DGCA CARs (Section 7). They limit flight time, duty periods and set minimum rest.

Tip: Memorise the current CAR numbers, because they change.

What are the ICAO fuel requirements (Annex 6)?

Fuel = taxi + trip + contingency (5 % of trip) + alternate + final reserve (30 min at 1 500 ft for turbine, 45 min piston) + additional.

Fuel=taxi+trip+cont+alt+final reserve\text{Fuel}=\text{taxi}+\text{trip}+\text{cont}+\text{alt}+\text{final reserve}
  • Alternate not needed if the weather is adequate or the destination is isolated
  • Extra fuel for decision point or other reasons
  • Commander must ensure adequate fuel
