Question

When the reported ceiling is at least ____ feet above the MVA/MIA and the visibility is at least ____ miles aircraft may be vectored to intercept the final approach course closer than 2 miles outside the approach gate but no closer than the ____.

a) 500 feet, 1 mile, 3 miles
b) 1,000 feet, 2 miles, 4 miles
c) 1,500 feet, 3 miles, 5 miles
d) 2,000 feet, 4 miles, 6 miles

Answer 1

The minimum ceiling and visibility requirements for aircraft to be vectored to intercept the final approach course are 1,000 feet and 2 miles respectively, with a minimum distance of 4 miles outside the approach gate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is b) 1,000 feet, 2 miles, 4 miles.

According to the information provided, when the reported ceiling is at least 1,000 feet above the MVA/MIA and the visibility is at least 2 miles, aircraft may be vectored to intercept the final approach course closer than 2 miles outside the approach gate but no closer than 4 miles.

Therefore, the minimum ceiling and visibility requirements are 1,000 feet and 2 miles respectively, and the aircraft can be vectored to intercept the final approach course closer than 2 miles but no closer than 4 miles.
