Volume 2-NP Flashcards
When can you input approach into the FMS?
AFTER COMPLETING STEP 1 of the DESCENT checklist, i.e. approach runway known.
Can you use Form 70 headings for fix to fix headings?
No, doing so may result in instructors marking out MHs on ICSO form 70s.
What two methods are acceptable when refining fix to fix headings?
Pinch to pinch or rule of halves and pencil method.
What is the max recommended degrees for intercepting a course i bound and outbound to a NAVAID?
30 and 45 degrees respectively.
Turns greater than ______ degrees must have a LP.
30
Assuming a 90 degree turn uses 100% or 1/1 or 1 turn radius. How much of the turn radius should be used for a 30 degree turn?
1/6.
Assuming a 90 degree turn uses 100% or 1/1 or 1 turn radius. How much of the turn radius should be used for a 45 degree turn?
1/3
Assuming a 90 degree turn uses 100% or 1/1 or 1 turn radius. How much of the turn radius should be used for a 60 degree turn?
1/2
Assuming a 90 degree turn uses 100% or 1/1 or 1 turn radius. How much of the turn radius should be used for a 180 degree turn?
2
Should UCSOs do two minute prior calls calculated from the turn point or lead pount?
The lead point.
What is the drift correction formula?
(Crosswind component) \ (NM/min)
When should you only use half of the headwind or crosswind component? (Clock positions.)
1-2 O’clock
4-5 O’clock
7-8 O’clock
10-11 O’clock
What are the criteria for aGS check to be valid?
Level flight
Stabilized TAS
Direct to/from a NAVAID
Slant range greater than aircraft altitude divided by 1000 (i.e at FL200, GS check at 20 NM)
GS check: If hacking for 36 seconds what should you do to get the actual ground speed?
Take the difference of the DME hacked at the beginning and the end and add a zero.
GS check: what does hacking for 1 minute give you?
It gives you the GS covered in one minute- times by 60 to give you current GS.
How do you compute a 6 minute gate? Why would you do this?
Take your ground speed in NM/hr and divide by 10 to give you NM covered in 6 minutes. (I.e. 390 on Gs readout/10 gives you 39NM.) You would use this to give you a further distance out to calculate your wings level call. I.e. now at 39 NM you could add 6 to your current time and you would have your ETA to your next point, and if you subtract 120#s(assuming 1200 average fuelflow=20lbs/min) from your current fuel, you now have your expected fuel at the next point.
How do you set up a 10 minute gate and why is it useful?
GS in (NM/Min) X 10 gives you a distance in NM at which you will be 10 minutes away from your point. For example; you're doing 6.5 NM/min times 10 gives you 65 NM. So at 65 NM you will know you are 10 Minutes from your next point. Its useful because you now can do your wings level call 10 minutes out by adding 10 to your current time and subtracting 200#s from your current fuel. Can be checked at the 6 minute gate.
What points are you able to do a condensed TPP outbound from KNPA?
JAYDI, TEEZY, ENSLY, BRATT, JERYs and TPs reached while climbing to filed altitude.
What points are you able to do a condensed inbound to KNPA?
TRADR TEEZY INBRD JAYDI MARYS and TPs associated with approaches. Once within 70 NM of destination.
you’re going to Montgomery, with a winded outbound heading of 310 and a course of 315 and navigation is a fix to fix for to the wiregrass 270 at 35. What is your 2MP?
Two minutes prior to Montgomery, outbound heading 310 for a course of 315 navigation will be a fix to fix to the wiregrass 270 at 35.
When do you know station passage has occurred for a TACAN?
When the DME stops decreasing.
When is station passage indicated for a VOR/DME?
To-From indicator makes positive flip.
For ADFs when is station passage indicated?
When the bearing pointer passes 90 degrees.
How is fix to fix passage indicated?
You are at the fix’s radial and DME.
