Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare for approach
- Latest available information for destination is reviewed
- Navigation system validity check is conducted as required
- Receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) check is conducted as required
- Flight plan is selected, loaded, checked and activated as required
- Current approach chart for the approach to be flown is selected and briefed to flight crew
- Navigation aid required for approach is checked and confirmed as serviceable
- Conduct initial approach
- Altimeter QNH is set correctly
- Aircraft is manoeuvred to holding fix
- Conduct a holding pattern
- Holding pattern is entered and performed from holding fix
- Aircraft is flown in accordance with relevant approach procedure requirements
- Conduct an approach
- Altimeter QNH is updated and set
- Automation is used appropriately
- Approach is performed correctly and within published tolerances
- Navigation aid signal integrity is monitored during approach
- Aircraft is flown to a stabilised descent profile from final approach fix to minima
- Visual reference is established and a visual circling or runway approach is conducted for a landing on the selected runway
- Conduct a missed approach
- Missed approach conditions are recognised and missed approach is initiated
- Aircraft is manoeuvred to missed approach point (MAPt)
- Missed approach procedure is conducted in accordance with the instrument approach and landing (IAL) chart
