Instrument Flying Flashcards
(35 cards)
What category is the Hawk T2? Flapless?
C
E
What are the requirements for a WHITE instrument rating?
- CQT
- 10 hours first pilot or dual
- 3 hours IF (inc 1 hour actual)
- 6 recoveries in last 6 months
Describe the aerodrome temperature correction
- Only applied if aerodrome temperature is ≤0◦.
- To correct the altimeter add 4ft for every thousand feet, for every degree difference from ISA (+15◦C).
- For example, at -4◦C, an aerodrome elevation of 10,000ft a (19 × 10 × 4) 760ft correction would be required.
What are the IF power settings?
What must you check on an IF T/O
Positive rate of climb on 2x instruments
What is the rule of thumb for a rate 1 turn?
What AoB would you use to achieve a Rate 1 turn for:
- <250 KCAS
- 250 ≤ KCAS ≤ 350
- >350 KCAS
What is the configured pattern speed?
170 KCAS
What is the mantra for top of drop?
Attitude, pause, Flap, pause, Trim
What is the minimum RVR?
- 550 m for Green-rated pilots
- 1100 m for White-rated pilots.
How many ft/nm would you expect to descend on a 3 degree glidepath?
300 ft/nm
What scale do the deviation dots represent for:
a) VOR
b) TACAN
c) ILS
State the TSIC(RN) Checks
- Tune - Tune the RNAV facility you need
- Steer/Select - Set steering to ILS/VOR/TACAN (no DEP GOTO for ILS)
- Ident - Ident the beacon
- Course - Set the course bar as req
- RNG - Box in HSI/Map format
- Nav - Podge, in HDFD
How would you fly to the secondary fix for the TACAN approach?
- Use INAV to fly to the secondary fix.
- Offset, 94, GOTO.
- Fly to the secondary fix at the cleared height (notionally FL65) at 300 KCAS complete FIRADS checks.
- At 10nm, deccelerate and complete TSIC checks for the tacan hold.
- Continue flying to the secondary fix which will persist on the map.
- Do not turn until you arrive at the correct DME.
How would you go to Point Alpha?
- Take a 90◦ cut (319◦) until the deflection bar comes off the stops then take a 40◦ cut (359◦) until half a dot of deflection.
- You can call inbound for the procedure within 30◦ of the inbound radial but if you are joining the hold you should call established when you overfly the hold point.
- Set QFE inbound to Point Alpha
Victor 23, inbound point alpha for the procedure
WAIT FOR CLEARANCE BEFORE DESCENDING
How would you fly the TACAN arc from Point Alpha?
When at point alpha, prioritise the turn (30◦AoB), then begin descent (2000ft QFE except for runway 31 which is 2500ft) and transmit
“VXX, leaving FL65”
- Use the heading bug to prompt the next event (approach checks).
- Set the HDG bug 20◦ before the lead radial (or use 30◦ if performing a high speed arc).
- When the tail of the TACAN needle is coincident with the HDG bug, carry out decceleration (80% + airbrake) and checks.
How would you fly the TACAN approach after arriving at the lead radial?
- At the lead radial, take a 40◦ cut onto the final approach track using 30◦AoB.
- When at 2◦ deviation, turn to establish on the final approach track and set HDG bug to FAT
- Call at the intermediate fix
- Report at FAF
Describe the technique for IF steep turns
- Entered from 420 KCAS (approximately 91% NH).
- Keep bottom of box just touching brown (on ADI), the corner touching when in the turn then roll the box so the flat bottom touches as you pass wings level.
- An NH increase of approximately 2% is required to maintain 420 KCAS.
- On roll out reset approx 91% NH, and check forward on the stick to prevent ballooning.
Describe the LL Abort
- Covert to the HUD
- Select full power
- Roll wings level
- Pull to 30◦NU using 4G
- Maintain 30◦ NU to a limit of 190 KCAS
- Once above safety altitude recover to straight and level flight using either 120◦ AoB or bunt gently to level flight
- When level, select mid power setting
- Establish position with regard to CAS and avoids. Check TCAS.
Describe the Nose Low UP recovery actions
- Check height
- Throttle - Idle, CF out, AB in (or out if speed exceeding 350kts)
- Roll wings level
- Pull to horizon using 4g / light buffet to level flight
Describe the Nose High, Speed High UP recovery actions
- Check height
- Full Power, CF out, AB in Bank Roll to 120◦ AoB
- Pull to 10◦ NU (or 15◦ on HDFD) then roll wings level and catch horizon
Describe the Nose High, Speed Low UP recovery actions
- Check height
- Throttle Idle, CF out, AB in
- Centralise
- 100kts - Roll wings level
- 150kts - Pull to horizon using 4g / light buffet to level flight
- Engine Surge check
State the post UP recovery checks
- Height - Confirm above SALT
- Erect - Cross check instruments HUD/ADI/HDFD
- Reason - Consider reason for UP
- Oxygen - Confirm oxygen system functionality and no hypoxia
- Orientation - Confirm position and heading for airfield, choose semi-circular
- Overstress - Confirm no overstress, speed and G (especially if configured)
How can you calculate the required RoD on an approach?
RoD3◦ = Groundspeed × 5
RoD3.5◦ = Groundspeed × 6.5
