Q

Comm/Nav System - 3 notes

A

N1: the AMC cooling fan power is provided through the 4-A AMC CB. If the CB is pulled, the AMC will report an OVERTEMPERATURE condition. If the AMC CB remains pulled, the AMC will overheat and be damaged as a result

N2: during any aircraft power transients or internal AMC circuit/software anomalies, normal functionality of the AMC may be lost while the AMC attempts a reset. This situation can last up to approx. 30 seconds. Within 1 second, backup ICS (CALL) and the radio operations will be available. There may be several instanes of momentary comms loss until the AMC completes the reset

N3: with loss of AMC functionality, if normal computer command ops via keyset/CDU cannot reinitiate comms with the AMC, cycle the main (10A) AMC CB on the #1 DC Pri Bus

Departure/Takeoff mins (CNAF)

Weather 1. standard/2. special/3. DP

A
  1. Standard Instrument Rating
    1a. NPA = published mins but NLT 300-1
    1b. PA = published mins below 300 (i. PA must be compatible with installed & operable equipment available. ii. weather greater or equal to PA published mins for landing runway in use)
  2. special instrument rating - has no mins. Depends on PIC judgement and urgency of flight
  3. Departure Procedure (DP), when available, are encouraged to be used for each IFR departure, provided no unacceptable flight degradation will ensue. Appropriate DP should be selected during preflight planning

Q

Weather report reqs

Enroute Lost Comm Procedures

A

FIH A-6

  1. exercise good judgement
  2. squawk 7600
  3. ATC will try to reach you on guard/other freqs
  4. VMC - maintain VMC; land as soon as practicable, notify ATC
  5. IMC - apply “AVEF/AME”
    5a. route: assigned, vectored, expected (EFC), filed
    5b. altitude (whichever is highest): assigned, minimum (MSA/MOCA/MVA/etc), expected (EFC)

**if assigned an EFC with a HIGHER altitude to expect at a certain time, maintain LAST assigned or minimum for IFR ops, UNTIL that time/fix. Upon reaching said time/fix. commence climb to higher altitude advised in EFC.

Minimum requirements for standard instrument rating

A
  • 50 hours of actual or simulated IMC pilot time
  • NATOPS instrument evaluation complete
  • within previous 6 months: 6hrs of actual or simulated pilot time and 12 approaches in simulated or actual IMC (6 PA, 6 NPA)
  • within previous 12 months: 12hrs of actual or simulated pilot time and 18 approaches in simulated or IMC (12 PA, 6 NPA)
  • IMC hours and approaches as part of a previous instrument evaluation flight may be applied to mins if check ride occurred within 12 months of “current” evaluation
  • approved flight simulators may be utilized to meet 1/2 of requirement times and approaches
  • CNATRA is authorized to issue an initial STD instrument rating after finishing the training command instrument syllabus (coming out of advance)
  • renewing an expired instrument rating for pilots returning to fly duty from either “grace period exceptions” only need to complete the NATOPS instrument eval + 6 month requirements. Same for returning pilots from combats ashore, where unable to fulfil 12 month reqs.
27
Q

Comm/Nav failure subtypes

A
  1. Single mission computer failure
    1a. yes AMC and AC pwr
    1b. no impact on ICS/radio comms
  2. 1553 data bus failure
    2a. yes AMC and AC pwr
    2c. enabled if AMC is operating, but both MDs lost power (so maybe dual converter fail)
    2d. no impact on ICS, though comms with MSN CMPTR lost, so AMC can only be controlled via OCP and RCU
  3. AMC/OCP failure
    3a. no AMC, yes AC pwr
    3b. RAD1 hardwired to pilot station, RAD2 hardwired to copilot station (RCU control only
    3c. ICS CALL available to call stations
  4. Battery Mode
    4a. no AMC, no AC pwr
    4b. Only RAD1 available via pilot station and RCU control
    4c. ICS PTT (fixed volume) is available, ICS is available to aft stations
28
Q

Terminal Instrument Approach procedures (CNAF)

US Civil Airports

A

if required to do an approach that is not published in DoD FLIP terminal procedures; shall submit request for the desired procedure. All FAA-approved civil instrument departures and arrivals in the US are published through NOS (not published in the DoD FLIP)

29
Q

Terminal Instrument Approach procedures (CNAF)

Other than US Airports

A

if not in the DoD FLIP nor validated by NAVFIG, shall coordinate requirements with NAVFIG. Approach must be approved under US standards

30
Q

Terminal Instrument Approach procedures (CNAF)

Conformance to TERPs

A

NAVFIG is the only one authorized to validate instrument approaches. The mins published in FLIP shall be those specified by TERPs criteria application

31
Q

Terminal Instrument Approach procedures (CNAF)

Annual Revalidation

A

FLIP pubs contain only those procedures for which operational/contingency requirements exist, so those activities shall annually revalidate their requirement for said procedures

32
Q

CNAF 3710 Instrument Approaches and landing mins

General

A

a. for straight-ins, use RVR (if available) for visibility requirements. For circling approaches, use prevailing visibility
b. helicopters/tilt-rotorcraft required visibility may be reduced to 1/2 published mins, but NLT 1/4 mile or 1200 RVR. COPTER approaches’ ceiling and visibility minima shall not be reduced

33
Q

CNAF 3710 Instrument Approach criteria for multi-piloted A/C

A

Approach shall not be commenced if wx is at or below mins, unless you have the capability to proceed to a suitable alternate on a MA

34
Q

CNAF 3710 Instrument Approach criteria for single-piloted A/C

A

Approach shall not be commenced if reported wx is below mins for the approach. Absolute ceiling mins for single-piloted helicopter/tilt-rotorcraft are 200-ft HAT

35
Q

CNAF 3710 Instrument landing mins

A

Shall not descend below MDA/continue below MDA/continue below DH unless runway environment in sight and safe landing can be made

a. PA - MA shall be executed immediately upon reaching DH unless (above)
b. NPA - MA shall be executed immediately upon reaching MAP if visual reference is not established and/or landing cannot be accomplished

36
Q

Final approach abnormalities during radar approaches (PAR/ASR)

A

controller shall issue instructions for Missed Approach where safe landing is questionable due to the following:

a. safe limits exceeded or radical aircraft deviation observed
b. position or IDENT is in doubt
c. radar contact lost
d. field conditions/traffic/unsafe conditions observed from tower that prevent completion

37
Q

Execution of Missed Approach

A

is mandatory for only reason (field conditions/traffic/unsafe conditions observed tower that prevent completion) as long as runway insight and able to safely maneuver to land

38
Q

Practice approaches

A

you may shoot practice approaches at airfields with weather below published mins, but it must NOT be the filed destination or alternate. The weather at the alternate must meet filing criteria

39
Q

Destination weather / alternate weather chart

A

(ETA +/- 1 hour)

Destination: 0-0 to but not including published mins THEN alternate must be 3000-3 or better

Destination: published mins up to but not including 3000-3 (single piloted 200-1/2 min, single piloted helo or tilt 200-1/4) THEN alternate with NPA must be published mins + 300-1 OR alternate with PA must be published mins + 200-1/2

Destination: 3000-3 or better THEN no alternate required

***in the case of single-piloted or other aircraft with ONLY ONE operable UHF/VHF transceiver, radar approach (PAR/ASR) mins shall not be used as the basis for selection of an alternate airfield
