Think you can fly this ILS?

1. 1) You're in a Cessna 182 10 miles from KCRP. Corpus approach says "Cessna 344TB proceed direct to the CRP VOR, cleared ILS 13 approach." What outbound radial will you fly at CRP?
   View FAA Chart

   Upon reaching the CRP VOR, the feeder route that joins the ILS has an outbound radial of 233 degrees. This is denoted by the black line extending from the CRP VOR to the initial approach fix CEVUS.

2. 2) You're at 3,000' crossing the CRP VOR, and you're cleared for the approach. What altitude can you descend to?

   On this leg, you can descend to 2,100' MSL, which is marked next to the feeder route.

3. 3) You turn right to heading 312 off the feeder route, flying outbound for the procedure turn. You must remain with 15 NM of which point during the procedure turn?

   The distance the procedure turn must be completed in is in relation to the final approach fix in this example. In the profile view, the line that represents the procedure turn (in this case the line that has 312 degrees) is showing you the reference point for where the 15 NM is being measured from.

4. 4) You fly the ILS approach down to minimums using the autopilot. If you're flying at Category B speeds, what minimums line do you choose?
   View FAA Chart

   In the notes it says "RVR 1800 authorized with use of FD or AP or HUD to DA" meaning that if you have this equipment and choose to utilize it to descend to DA, the visibility is decreased to 1800 RVR. Keep in mind, Part 91 operators need to convert RVR to statute miles using the "Comparable Values of RVR and Visibility" table in the FAA's Terminal Procedures Publication (TPP). With that, you get your required statute miles of flight visibility to go below DA. In this example, 1800 RVR converts to 1/2 mile of required flight visibility to land from the approach.

5. 5) At minimums, what's your height above the touchdown zone elevation (TDZE)?

   The height above TDZE at minimums is 200 feet. This value is listed just right of the Decision Altitude (DA).

Well, that wasn't an easy approach...

You scored % Better luck next time.

You've got this approach down...for the most part.

Nice work, you scored % Not bad.

You could fly this ILS in your sleep (but we wouldn't recommend it...)

You scored % Well done!
