Energy Management Flashcards
(25 cards)
A MOA is ______.
An airspace for military aircraft to perform maneuvers in the lateral, vertical, and horizontal planes
MOAs, alert areas, and the working areas within them are typically defined by ______ or ______, and ______.
VORTAC, radials, and DME, latitude and longitude coordinates, altitude in MSL (or flight levels for MOAs)
True or false: Alert area altitude blocks are normally from the surface up to and including FL180.
False
True or false: Civilian aircraft are not allowed to fly through an alert area.
False
Potential energy is directly related to ______while kinetic energy is directly related to ______.
Altitude, airspeed
Trading kinetic to potential energy is also called ______.
Trading airspeed for altitude
A maneuver that results in no net change in energy level (energy state) is called ______.
Energy neutral
What is the working energy level for a MOA area which has a floor at 6000 feet MSL and a ceiling of 12,000 feet MSL?
9000 feet MSL/180-200 KIAS
What is the starting point for the area orientation decision process?
Knowing where you are
What is the first step you need to take in order to compensate for winds in your working area?
Know the winds at altitude for your area.
Normally, the primary reference for area orientation within a working area is ______.
Ground references near the geographical center of the area or identifiable landmarks on the borders or outside the area if central references are not available.
True or false: An area profile and a mission profile are the same.
False
How much altitude is required to safely perform a spin recovery?
1000 feet above, 3500 feet below
What is the entry airspeed for a landing attitude stall?
5-10 KIAS above approach speed
Slow flight is an ______ maneuver.
Energy neutral or energy losing, depending
You planned to do a high area profile and enter at the bottom of the area. Your planned area profile was power-on stalls, nose-high recovery, nose-low recovery, ELP stalls, and slow flight. However, while on departure you are assigned a low area. Your departure and recovery routing forces you to enter and leave at the top of your new area. Which of the modified profiles below will allow you to work into the low area altitude block?
ELP stalls, nose-low recovery, nose-high recovery, power-on stalls, slow flight
True or false: Kinetic energy can be traded for potential energy by putting the aircraft in a climb.
True
Putting the T-6A in a dive at full power with the horizon on the front canopy bow will gain approximately ______ knots of indicated airspeed for every ______ feet of altitude.
50; 1000
Which in-flight planning concept tells you where to do an area maneuver?
Area orientation
A maneuver that ends at a higher altitude and higher airspeed than at entry is an ______maneuver.
Energy gaining
How much altitude is required to complete a traffic pattern stall series?
2500 feet below
You should try to maneuver ______ your area center reference when compensating for winds.
Upwind from
The basic working energy level for area work in the T-6A is ______.
The middle of the area altitude block at 180-200 KIAS
True or false: Potential energy is directly related to airspeed.
False
