Nav Study Flashcards
What route and altitude do you fly with two-way radio failure?
Route:
A: Assigned
V: Vectored
E: Expected
F: Filed
Highest Altitude:
M: Minimum for IFR
E: Expected
A: Assigned
If you lose radios while in VMC?
Maintain VMC and land as soon as practical
When do you begin your approach or descent with radio failure?
once your clearance limit has been reached or at your ETA if no limit given
Without a specific request, still make the following reports to ATC:
Any loss of a NAVAID in controlled airspace,
Upon reaching or leaving an assigned holding fix or point, When an approach has been missed, When unable to climb/descend at least 500 fpm, When vacating a previously assigned altitude for a new altitude
What AF weather OWS covers El Paso?
(Look on pg C-3) West Texas is covered by Davis-Monthan AFB
What does a Blue/Green/Brown airfield mean on the IFR High/Low charts?
Blue: High altitude approach
Green: Instrument approach/Radar
Brown: no published approach
What does a ++ after a “Z” indicate?
during periods of Daylight Savings, effective hours will be 1 hour earlier than shown
What is the 11-202v3 rule for fuel reserves?
Must be able to extend the flight time by 10% (up to 45 minutes) or 20 minutes, whichever is greater
You have an ETE of 4+20. How many minutes of fuel reserve should be on board to comply with 11-202, Vol 3?
26 minutes
The forecast weather at your destination must cover:
+/- 1 Hour of ETA
Wx Forecast reads: VRB05KT 3 SM VCSH OVC040 TEMPO VRB5KT 3 SM RA BKN010. Do you require an alternate?
Yes, the worst weather is forecast to be below 2000 and 3 (TEMPO included)
Passing 10,000’ MSL your cabin pressurization fails. What altitude should you fly?
Lowest practical altitude preferably no higher than 18,000, maximum of FL250 if everyone has functional pressure suits
Which of the following is true concerning aircraft speeds?
Do not exceed 250 knots below 10,000’ MSL, unless waived because a higher speed is necessary to maintain safe maneuverability as specified in the aircraft flight manual
While enroute IFR in IMC to an IAF at FL200, you are cleared to hold and to expect further clearance at 1530. The time is now 1515 and you subsequently experience a radio failure. What should you do?
Proceed to the IAF, enter holding, descend in holding at EFC, then commence the approach
What weather ceiling and visibility is required for your alternate if the lowest compatible approach is a TACAN approach with weather minimums of 600 - 1 ⅝?
1100 - 2 ⅝
In the event of a deviation or when given traffic priority in an emergency,
verbally report the incident to a supervisor or commander and prepare a detailed written record within 24 hours or as soon as mission permits
Do not depart IFR unless the weather at the destination is:
Do not depart IFR unless best weather (no TEMPO) at destination, +/- 1 hour ETA, is forecast at or above lowest compatible approach minimums
What weather requires an alternate?
123TACR
Worst weather (include TEMPO) at destination, +/- 1 hour ETA, is forecast less than 2000’ ceiling or 3 SM visibility
Forecast crosswinds out of limits (30 Dry / 20 Wet / 10 Ice or S.W)
All approaches are incompatible
RVSM is required (denial prevents reaching the airfield)
What is pilot’s discretion for filing an alternate?
(1500-3 GUNR)
Lowest comp app mins above 1500-3
GPS only approaches
Unmonitored NAVAID
No weather reporting
Radar only approaches
What do you need for an alternate to qualify?
www.RANU.com
W: weather is 1000’ / 2SM or 500’ / 1SM above lowest compatible approach mins (whichever is greater)
W: winds out of limits
W: no wx reporting
R: RVSM required
A: alternate n/a on the plate
N: note disqualifying the approach
U: unmonitored NAVAID
com: compatible approach
What is the airspeed restriction below 10,000 feet MSL?
250 knots unless necessary per flight manual
Where do we find information about the “Bird Condition” at our destination airfield?
Avian Hazard Advisory System (AHAS, which is current within one hour for actual and predicted
-AHAS: real time risk
-BAM: is a predictive bird avoidance model that uses historical data to determine average bird strike risk
How much fuel do you subtract for calculations if it is NOT an initial takeoff?
200 pounds
How does temperature impact fuel burn?
Need to account for temperatures hotter than standard day!!
