“The PIC may deviate from any rule to the extent required to meet that emergency.”
Before takeoff or after in-flight refueling, an aircraft must have enough fuel to…?
…fly and land at destination (or alternate) plus fuel reserve
Ensure the aircraft is carrying enough usable fuel on each flight to increase the total planned flight time between refueling points by…?
…10% (up to a maximum of 45 minutes for fixed-wing), or 20 minutes, whichever is greater
“When an alternate airport is required, fuel required for ___ at the intended destination must be included in the total flight plan fuel if ___ is/are used at the destination. Fuel required for a missed approach is not required if ___ is/are used.”
-an approach and missed approach
-visibility-only weather criteria
-both ceiling and visibility criteria
“___ flight plans are not automatically closed upon landing. Pilots must ensure their flight plan is closed to prevent ___”
-VFR
-unnecessary search and rescue operations.
Who would you contact to close a flight plan?
Close with tower or FSS
“When landing at a non-towered civilian airfield or part-time-towered airports when the tower is not operating, the pilot is responsible for ensuring that flight plans are closed either by contacting ___, ___, or ___.”
-a FSS
-the originating airfield management
-through an ATC facility
Filing to (P) Fields (Civilian Fields):
When can you file to a P field?
ICEWAD:
-Intercepted - recovery of active air defense interceptor aircraft
-C coded aircraft/helo
-Emergency
-Wing commander or higher approval with LOA (airport manager grants permission in advance)
-Alternate - an alternate is required and no other suitable airport is available
-DOD tenant - a US Govt tenant (ANG, USCG, etc) is listed for the airport of intended landing and the facility can support the aircraft
Right of Way Rules:
(between dissimilar aircraft)
-Right-of-way is given to the aircraft least able to maneuver
THIS ORDER:
-Balloons
-Gliders
-Towing/Air refueling
-Airships
-Rotary- or Fixed-wing
“Big Girls’ Toes Are Really Fun”
Right of Way Rules:
(between similar aircraft)
-Aircraft in distress have right of way over all other air traffic
-If aircraft are in the same category, the one on the other’s right has right of way
-If similar aircraft are converging head on, both turn right
-The overtaken aircraft has right of way, the overtaking one must yield right
-Aircraft established on final has right of way. If both are, the lower aircraft has right of way
