APV Approaches

Post by Rudy »

The new approach ban mentions that the ban applies to non-precesion, cat 1 precision, and APV approaches. Can anyone tell me what an APV approach is?

APV is a generic term ( ICAO I believe) for an LPV approach conducted of course using a WAAS Gps receiver.

APV=approach with vertical guidance; SCDA (stabalized constant descent angle) or GPS (GNSS) with VNAV.

I have a question, who remembers what you call the portion of a Radio Range airway where the steady tone and the A or N signal are equal?

CAT, I can't remember what they called it but I always flew in either the "twilight A" or the "twilight N". until I got close to the "cone of silence". I can still recite with some accuracy how you do a "lost orientation" on the range or the "close in" procedures.
Who can remember where the last two ranges in Canada were?
Hint - B.C.
One was still active in the late 70's.
What king of tone did you hear crossing the outer marker, crossing the middle marker and crossing the Z marker and what colour were they??

The average pilot, despite the somewhat swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy and caring.
These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

Yup, it was called the " Twilight Zone "

The last radio range I flew was Lac Labarge out of Whitehorse in 1971 in a DC3.

Last flight I flew IFR was using IRS, my next flight will be on the wings of an angel as I fly up to heaven to meet my saviour....or will it be down to hell to meet my mentor? :prayer:

Rats, I thought it was Castlegar and Terrace.... or was it Williams Lake.
Jeez, my memory ain't what it used to be. :?

The colours where blue, white and amber (can't remember the correct sequence). The sound was the morsecode for the beacon and a bunch of beeping :oops: .
