Q

What are the USAF in-flight VFR required cloud clearances and visibility below 10,000 feet?

A

a. 500 feet below
b. 1000 feet above
c. 2000 feet horizontal
d. 3 SM

2
Q

8500 feet MSL is a correct VFR cruising altitude when heading _____.

A

180-359° magnetic above 3000 feet AGL, but below 18,000 feet MSL.

3
Q

How do you maintain orientation and position awareness while DR navigating?

A

Use “clock to chart to ground”

4
Q

One method of estimating distance uses angles of ______, ______, and ______ below the level horizon.

A

30°, 45°, 60°

5
Q

When operating a T-6A in airport Class D airspace, enter the traffic pattern at an altitude of at least ________ above the airport elevation, unless otherwise required by applicable directives

A

1500 feet AGL

6
Q

What type of separation is provided by Terminal Radar Service Area (TRSA)?

A

Separation between all participating VFR aircraft and all IFR aircraft within the boundaries of the TRSA.

7
Q

What information should you provide when contacting Approach Control on a VFR arrival at a strange field?

A

a. Callsign
b. Position
c. Altitude
d. Destination or intentions

8
Q

How do you enter the traffic pattern at a strange field?

A

You enter through the initial, straight-in, or downwind

9
Q

Generally, what type of glideslope indicator would you expect to find at an Air Force base?

A

Expect to find a PAPI glideslope indicator

10
Q

What type of visual glideslope indicator would you expect to see at a Navy base?

A

Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System (OLS). You are on glidepath when the ball is in the center between the green datum lights.

11
Q

What are the primary communication methods at an uncontrolled airfield?

A

Contact FSS on CTAF; self-announced on CTAF if no tower or FSS available; use UNICOM.

12
Q

At uncontrolled airfields, initiate radio contact by 10 miles and provide what information?

A

a. Callsign
b. Altitude
c. Aircraft type (optional)
d. Location from field
e. Intentions
f. Request airport advisory

13
Q

How do you determine a destination is suitable?

A

The field must meet command requirements: Runway length, NAVAIDs available, compatible instrument approach. At civilian fields, services contracted at government rate, security requirements.

14
Q

What are the cloud clearance and visibility requirements for VFR flight below 10,00 feet MSL in controlled airspace?

A

Cloud clearance: 500 feet below, 1000 feet above, 2000 feet horizontal, visibility 3 statute miles.

15
Q

What are the cloud clearance and visibility requirements for VFR flight above 10,000 feet MSL?

A

Cloud clearance: 1000 feet below, 1000 feet above, 1 statute mile horizontal, visibility 5 statute miles.

16
Q

What is your VFR cruising altitude heading west above 3000 feet AGL but below 18,000 MSL?

A

Even thousand plus 500 feet

17
Q

What is the basic procedure for dead reckoning navigation?

A

The basic procedure is clock, to chart, to ground.

18
Q

What are the VFR arrival communication methods at an uncontrolled airfield?

A

Contact FSS on CTAF, self-announcement on CTAF if no tower or FSS available, use UNICOM.

19
Q

You are on final at Corpus, the OLS (ball) is below the green datum lights. Are you on glidepath?

A

No. You are below glidepath. You are on glidepath when the ball is between the green datum lights.

20
Q

What are the basic lost procedures?

A

Confess, Climb, Conserve, Communicate, and Comply

21
Q

When employing lost procedures, how do you conserve fuel?

A

Conserve fuel by flying maximum endurance AOA.

22
Q

When would you execute lost procedures?

A

Execute this procedure when your position is unknown, NAVAIDs are inoperable or unreliable
