MDA vs DA Questions with 100% Correct
Answers
Altitude associated with a precision approach (ex ILS, RNAV with LPV)
Decision altitude
Approach flown by starting at an assigned altitude, intercepting the glideslope from below,
and following the glideslope and localizer needles
ILS
Altitude at which the pilot will decide to continue the approach if the required visual cues
are present, or execute missed approach if there are no visual cues to the runway
Decision altitude
Altitude that the aircraft might descend through once the decision has been made to go
missed, because of delay in climb
Decision altitude
Approach where there is no vertical guidance; fixes on the approach are identified using
DME
Nonprecision approach
Approach where DME distances are shown in boxes with one rounded side at each fix
Nonprecision approach
