RAIM errors: when can I proceed with and when must I abort an approach
Asked by: KEITH ASHTON 5330 views Instrument Rating
I have a question about what to do in the event of a RAIM error that appears after I have crossed the FAF.
In the current FAR-AIM, page 58, 1-1-26, we read: “If a RAIM failure occurs after the FAWP, the receiver is allowed to continue operating without an annunciation for up to 5 minutes to allow completion of the approach (see receiver operating manual). If the RAIM flag/status annunciation appears after the FAWP, the missed approach should be executed immediately.”
It appears that there are situations of RAIM failures/errors occurring past the FAWP where I am able to proceed, and other RAIM failures/errors where I must abort. How do I perceive and determine which are which so I take the appropriate actions. Is the sole difference whether I receive an alert / annunciation? If there is no alert or annunciation, how am I to perceive that a failure or error has occurred?
Thanks in advance for your help.
