Visual Approach Quiz

Civilian Jet / IFR·10 Questions

No ILS, no glideslope needle, no autopilot doing the work — just you, the runway, and a set of PAPI lights. This quiz tests your understanding of visual approach techniques for airliner pilots, covering PAPI/VASI interpretation, the 3-to-1 descent planning rule, pattern entries, hand-flying on final, and the backup non-precision approaches (VOR, RNAV, LOC-only) that get you close when there is no ILS available. Whether you fly the Fenix A320 or PMDG 737 in MSFS 2024, these questions will reveal whether you can land confidently without instrument guidance.

What you'll be tested on

  • PAPI/VASI light interpretation
  • 3-to-1 descent planning rule
  • Visual approach vs VFR pattern differences
  • Hand-flying technique on final
  • Backup non-precision approaches (VOR, RNAV, LOC-only)
