21
Q

What are the VFR WX minimums for Class E airspace?

Study These Flashcards
A

(AR 95-1)

Less than 10,000 MSL: 3 sm; 500 below, 1000 above, 2000 horizontal.

At or above 10,000 MSL: 5 sm; 1000 below, 1000 above, 1 sm horizontal.

22
Q

When is an Alternate Airfield required?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. The forecast predominant weather ( at ETA through I hour after ETA) is less than 400 - 1 above the military planning minimums for the approach to be flown. 2. The approach navigational aids are unmonitored. See IFR Supplement) 3. Radar is required for the approach to be flown.
23
Q

What should a call to Clearance Delivery sound like?

Study These Flashcards
A

Example:

Clearance Delivery, this is Army Copter 12345. (Wake Up)

Army Copter 12345 is a single AH64 Apache, parked Alpha Ramp with information Bravo, IFR to Troy, Clearance on request.

24
Q

What are the differences of these airfields?

25
What is the difference in an open and filled in fix or waypoint on an IFR Chart?
The filled in points/fixes are also compulsary reporting points.
26
What types of Fuels can be used in the AH64?
Primary Fuels are JP-4, JP-5, JP-8. Commercial equivalent fuels are in table 2-10 in the -10.
27
How should you correct for wind on the outbound leg of a holding pattern?
Take the inbound drift correction and triple it for the outbound leg.
28
Which heading/course determines what type of entry you do into holding?
You compare your current heading to your _outbound_ course in holding.
29
If no changeover point is depicted, when should the navaid frequency be changed?
midway between facilities
30
How long is a weather briefing good for?
1 hour and 30 minutes.
31
What are the FAA Procedures for Two-Way Radio Failure? Lost Commo
Squawk 7600 If VMC, remain VMC and Land as Soon as Practicable IMC: Route- Last clearance from ATC, If recieving Vectors-direct to where you were being vectored to, Expected route, or Filed Route. Altitude- The highest of: assigned, minimum for route, or expected.
32
What do the different color airfields represent? What do the tick marks represent? (IFR Chart)
Blue and Green facilities have an approved instrument approach procedure and/or radar minima published in FAA Terminal Procedures Pubs or DoD FLIPs. Tick marks indicate civil airports.
33
What is required to operate within Class C airspace?
2 way radio communication prior to entering, Mode C transponder.
34
What does this symbol depict on an IFR Sectional?
That there is a Minimum Crossing Altitude (MCA) associated withthis point.
35
What is the Hemishperical Rule?
Traveling 0 degrees - 179 degrees (East) IFR: odd thousands. VFR: odd thousands plus 500 ft. Traveling 180 degrees - 359 degrees (West) IFR: even thousands. VFR: even thousands plus 500 ft.
36
What does "Cleared for the Option" mean?
You are cleared for: Low Approach, Missed Approach, Touch and Go, Stop and Go, or Full Stop.
37
During Lost Commo, when should you leave your last Clearance Limit?
When limit is fix from which an approach begins: start approach/descent as close as possible to expect further clearance time or expected time of arrival as filed. If not a fix from which an approach begins: leave at expect further clearance time or upon arrival of clearance limit and then go to fix where approach begins and start approach as close as possible to expected time of arrival.
38
When should you initiate lost commo procedures while being vectored?
No transmissions recieved in: 1 minute while being vectored to final. 15 seconds while on ASR final approach. 5 seconds while on PAR final approach.
39
When will ATC initiate SAR procedures?
1/2 hour after your ETA, if you have not closed your flight plan.
40
What does this depict on a VFR Sectional?
Class-E airspace at the surface.
41
What is an MEA on an IFR Chart?
Minimum Enroute Altitude: provides navaid reception, and obstacle clearance
42
What is the difference in these two symbols and what do the tick marks mean? (VFR Sectional)
Blue airports have a control tower and magenta do not. Tick marks mean that services are available.
43
When will an airfield not be used as an alternate?
1. The forecast worst weather ( at ETA through 1 hour after ETA) is less than 400 - 1 above the military planning minimums for the approach to be flown. 2. The approach navigational aids are unmonitored. 3. Radar is required for the approach to be flown. 4.The approach procedure is labeled as A/NA. 5. If a Class B. C. D. or E surface area airspace does not exist or is not in effect at the airport to be used.( See operating hours in IFR Supplement.) 6. If the Global Positioning System (GPS) is required for the approach.
44
What is a MAA on a IFR Chart?
Maximum Authorized Altitude: provides navaid reception.
45
What weather must you have to file IFR?
the forecast predominant weather at your ETA through 1 hour after ETA must be equal to or greater than the military weather planning minimums for the approach you intend to fly at that destination.
46
What do these borders mean?
Magenta is Class-E airspace begining at 700 AGL. Blue is Class-E airspace begining at 1200 AGL.
47
How much can helicopters reduce visibility requirements?
Helicopters may reduce visibility requirements by 50% but not less than 1/4 mile or 1200 RVR. Visibility, requirements may not be reduced on COPTER ONLY procedures.
48
What is the minimum weather required to shoot an approach?
There is no minimum weather for attempting an approach.
