Question: What characteristic is unique to a PAR approach compared to other instrument approaches?
Answer options:
- It uses GPS for horizontal and vertical guidance.
- It provides only lateral guidance to the runway. ✅ It involves explicit talk-down instructions from a ground controller for both lateral and vertical guidance.
- It requires the aircraft to be equipped with a specific radar transponder for tracking.
Correct answer: It involves explicit talk-down instructions from a ground controller for both lateral and vertical guidance.
Explanation: A PAR (Precision Approach Radar) approach is unique because it provides explicit voice instructions from a ground controller for both lateral (heading) and vertical (descent rate) guidance to the runway. The pilot follows controller commands without reference to onboard instruments for deviation.
