Unprepared Landing Area Procedures Flashcards
Wind Restrictions require that the flight be discontinued when wind velocity reaches the following:
a. For Training/Exercise Sorties, the steady state is _______.
b. On Operational Sorties, the Flight Manual requires winds to be below _____ to start or stop the rotors.
40 kts
45 kts
Following visual flight rules for training or exercise flights, the weather minimums are as follows:
a. A ceiling of ____ ft and __ SM of visibility for day operations.
b. At night without night vision goggles (NVG), the weather has to be above a _____ ft ceiling and ___ SM of visibility.
c. At night with NVGs, the weather can be as low as ____ ft ceiling and ___ SM of visibility.
500; 1
1,000; 2
500; 2
When the power margin is ________, a second aircrew member will re-confirm the power requirements.
10% or less
What is the maximum allowable steady state wind in order to fly a Training Sortie?
40 kts
When must a second crewmember re-compute TOLD to confirm power requirements?
When power available is within 10% of power required
An operable searchlight with an IR filter is required for NVG training flights below __________% EMI.
20
Aircrew will overfly the landing area, and begin the high reconnaissance at a minimum of ____ ft Above Landing Site (ALS).
300
Aircrew may descend no lower than ___ ft Above Highest Obstacle (AHO) after the initial overflight, if necessary, to analyze elements affecting the LZ (winds, terrain, etc.).
100
Aircrew will accomplish a low reconnaissance at a minimum of ___ ft AHO along the flight path. Aircrew will maintain at/above Effective Translational Lift (ETL). At the Pilot’s discretion, the low reconnaissance may be performed on final approach, if OGE power is available.
50
WETPASTE
W - Wind direction and speed (and resulting turbulence and null
areas).
E - Elevation of the site of intended landing/hover.
T - Temperature and pressure altitude.
P - Power available, power required, and power margin.
A - Approach/departure heading or path, type of approach, and
go/no-go point.
S - Suitability of the site for intended operations (size, shape, slope,
surface, obstructions).
T - Touchdown point of intended landing/hover.
E - Escape route for aborts or go-around.
When might the Pilot Not Flying (PNF) transfer advisory calls to the primary scanner by calling “DOOR”?
At approximately 100 ft
Perform the power check as near as possible to same __________ and __________ as operating area while enroute or at site.
pressure altitude (PA); outside air temperature (OAT)
Site diagrams are not required for airports or helipads published in Flight Information Publication (FLIP) documents. However, hospital helipads generally are not governed by the __________ or included in FLIP, and may have unique hazards associated with them.
FAA
When performing an Operational Site Evaluation, evaluate and confirm the following: Elevation, power requirements, __________, wind, and approach and departure routes before initiating the final approach.
obstructions
T/F:
Aircrew will accomplish a low reconnaissance at a minimum of 50 ft AHO along the flight path. Aircrew will maintain at/above effective translational lift.
True
