    • -"DRIFTING" repeated at regular intervals which is answered by "CORRECTING".
    • -When LTPL is exceeded: "UNSTABILIZED" where PF initiates the GO AROUND.
  23. What are the calls when the aircraft reaches the end of the OTZ and is still airborne ?
    • -"FLOATING" repeated every second, which is answered by "CORRECTING".
    • -When the aircraft passes the TPL and still airborne: "UNSTABILIZED" and PF initiates the GO AROUND
  24. What is the LTPL ?
    • The lateral drift limit, in relation to the runway centreline.  It is exceeded when either landing gear crosses it.
    • Go Around is mandatory once crossed.
    • B767: the lower corners of the forward window, Inboard: opposite gear, Outboard: same side gear.
  25. Define the OTZ.
    Optimum Touchdown Zone
    • ICAO markings: 700 feet (200m) long.  
    • FAA markings: 1000 feet long.
    • Begins at the beginning of the the Aiming Point markings and end to the beginnings of the 2000 foot markings.
    • ICAO: 1 marking after the aim point.
    • FAA: 2 markings after the aim point.
  26. Where should an AC airplane touchdown ?
    AC Stable Approach policy requires that aircraft touch down at approx VREF in the OTZ but no later than the end of the TDZ, or TPL if TDZ markings are not visible, and within the LTPL.
  27. Define the TDZ
    • Normally first 3000' of runway or first third.  Whichever is less.
    • Start from the runway threshold.
    • Ends at the beginning of the last runway touchdown zone marking.
    • ICAO  4900' to 7899' rw = 2000'
    • ICAO 7900' and up rw = 3000'
    • FAA 6900' to 7989' rw = 2500'
    • FAA 7990' and up rw = 3000'
  28. DRIFTDOWN / ESCAPE CHART
    • Red Hashed zone: Narrow body no fly zone.
    • If engine failure:  Do not enter Blue box zone unless no other choice.  Follow depicted route.
    • Initiate driftdown at optimum speed til level off.  Take shortest way out by using depicted route.
  29. Visual approach Minimums
    • Charted visual: Published min.  
    • Other: 500' abv TDZE.
  30. Maximum Holding Speeds Canada & US
    • At or blw 6000': 200 KIAS
    • Abv 6000' to 14000': 230 KIAS
    • Abv 14000': 265
