The "APPROACH LIGHTS CONTINUE" callout can be made upon reaching which of the following, and only as a response to the which callout?

• A. DH/DMDA/or MAP; MINIMUMS Missed Approach
• B. DH/DMDA only; MINIMUMS
• C. MAP; MISSED APPROACH
• D. MINIMUMS; Missed Approach callout

Answer: (A)

Approach lights continue is a signal that you’re at the point where a decision must be made and you intend to continue the approach visually if the runway environment is in sight. You would say it when you reach the published decision point—whether that is the decision height/decision altitude (DH/DA) on precision approaches or the missed approach point (MAP) on non-precision approaches. It’s spoken in response to the minimums callout, confirming that the approach lighting will stay on to assist the landing, rather than declaring a missed approach. If you haven’t reached minimums yet, or if you’ve already initiated a missed approach, this callout isn’t used.
