At or below 1500 ft If the pilot loses visual reference while circling to land from an instrument approach and ATC radar service is not available, the missed approach action should be to make a climbing turn toward the landing runway and continue the turn until established on the missed approach course. When may a pilot make a straight-in landing, if using an IAP having only circling minimums? A straight-in landing may be made if the pilot has the runway in sight in sufficient time to make a normal approach for landing, and has been cleared to land. If experiencing a failure of a required navigation system or signal a missed approach climb out may be established prior to reaching the missed approach point.

Which displacement from the localizer centerline and glide slope indicates you are high and to the left of the ILS course? Figure 141. (Refer to Figure 139, Figure 140.) Which displacement from the localizer and glide slope at the 1.9 NM point is indicated? 710 feet to the right of the localizer centerline and 140 feet above the glide slope. A pilot is making an ILS approach and is past the OM to a runway which has a VASI. What action should the pilot take if an electronic glide slope malfunction occurs and the pilot has the VASI in sight? The pilot may continue the approach and use the VASI glide slope in place of the electronic glide slope. [Show More]
