Answer 12

-Power as required
-Once climbing and certain aircraft will not touch down, raise gear and flaps
-Accelerate to 200 KIAS
-Stay 500 ft AGL until climb is called for by pattern procedures

Question 13

What are the procedures for a go-around in the landing phase?

Answer 13

-PCL MAX
-Maintain landing attitude, do not over rotate
-Once positive climb is established and certain aircraft will not touch ground, raise gear and flaps.
-Raise nose slightly
-Offset heading by ~20 degrees
-Once offset enough to see runway, turn parallel
-Proceed with pattern procedures, adding offset to callsign for RSU requests

Question 14

When do we use ORM 3-2-1?

Answer 14

In an actual engine failure scenario

Question 15

What does ORM 3-2-1 mean?

Answer 15

DO NOT DESCEND BELOW 2,000 feet AGL UNLESS:
-On profile for the field of intended landing
-Runway in sight, and you can
-Maneuver safely to land
-300’ AGL Final decision to continue or Eject
-200’ AGL Gear confirmed reported down
-100’ AGL Aircraft on centerline

Question 16

When should you Zoom/Glide 125 Knots?

Answer 16

When an engine failure is suspected above 150 knots

Question 17

How do you Zoom/Glide 125 Knots?

Answer 17

-Initiating a zoom climb using a 2G pull up to a 20 degree climb angle until approaching 20 KIAS above the desired glide airspeed (125 knots)
-Lowering the nose to maintain the desired glide speed (125 knots)

Question 18

What are the initial actions for a suspected engine problem?

Answer 18

-Turn
-Climb
-Clean
-Check
-Boost Pump
-Ignition
-Plan for ELP

Question 19

When turning to the nearest suitable airfield, what are some factors to consider about airfield suitability?

Answer 19

-Distance
-Terrain
-Runway length, width, direction, condition
-Weather
-Fire/Rescue support
-Emergency Oxygen and Electrical Power supply
-Threat to public in event of ejection

Question 20

How do you do the Half-DME plus Key Calculation?

Answer 20

-Take 1/2 the distance to the airfield as determined by GPS NRST function
-Add 3,000 feet (high key) or 1,500 feet (low key)
-Add field elevation
This is how much MSL altitude you need to intercept that key

Question 21

What is the airspeed for an ELP?

Answer 21

125 Knots minimum (clean), 120 knots minimum (configured)

Question 22

What should you do before and/or once arriving at high key?

Answer 22

-If on profile at or prior to high key, lower landing gear
-Turn and use AOB as necessary toward low key
-If using offset method, approximately 20 degrees of bank
-If using overhead method, approximately 30 degrees of bank.

Question 23

At cross key, what should we be checking for?

Answer 23

2200-2300 ft AGL, with aircraft approximately perpendicular.
(if not on altitude evaluate airspeed, bank angle, and winds to determine cause of altitude deviation.

Question 24

Looking at the wing, how do you know you’re spaced properly for low key?

Answer 24

Fuel cap on runway

Question 25

Once at low key (abeam touchdown point) what should you do?

Answer 25

Maintain 120 KIAS in the base key turn,
target 600-800 AGL at base key
