11-248 T-6 Primary Flying Flashcards
Aircrews must ________ regardless of how they are accomplished.
positively confirm completion of all checklists
Is it necessary to refer to the checklist during critical phases of flight?
No
Which pilot is responsible for completion of all checklists?
The Pilot Flying (PF)
How is the completion of a BOTH item confirmed?
The Pilot Flying (PF) will initiate a BOTH checklist item by challenging the Pilot Not Flying (PNF). A BOTH item is not complete until a proper response is received from the PNF.
Once started, attempt to complete checklists ______________
without interruption
If a checklist is interrupted, what are 2 good techniques to get back on track?
-Restarting at the first step of the checklist
-Restarting 2-3 steps prior to when the interruption occurred.
Pilots should not give ________ to checklists when using standardized phrasing or mnemonics.
Lip service (don’t just say the thing, actually verify it was completed)
What is the procedure to conduct a straight through on initial?
Continue straight through at 200 KIAS (do not break). At end of break zone, make radio call (C/S, break point straight through). At DER, turn crosswind and clear for traffic.
What is the procedure to conduct a breakout?
-Power max
-Climbing turn to 2600’ MSL IAW IFG procedures
-Gear and flaps up before reaching 150 if they are down
-Once at 2600’ MSL proceed to VFR entry IAW IFG procedures
Should you break out in the final turn?
No, execute a go around instead.
What are the procedures for a go around above 500 ft AGL?
-Power as required
-Raise gear and flaps
-Accelerate to 200 KIAS
-Stay 500 ft AGL until climb is called for by pattern procedures
At or below 500 AGL, what are the procedures for a go around?
-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
What are the procedures for a go-around in the landing phase?
-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
When do we use ORM 3-2-1?
In an actual engine failure scenario
What does ORM 3-2-1 mean?
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
When should you Zoom/Glide 125 Knots?
When an engine failure is suspected above 150 knots
How do you Zoom/Glide 125 Knots?
-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)
What are the initial actions for a suspected engine problem?
-Turn
-Climb
-Clean
-Check
-Boost Pump
-Ignition
-Plan for ELP
When turning to the nearest suitable airfield, what are some factors to consider about airfield suitability?
-Distance
-Terrain
-Runway length, width, direction, condition
-Weather
-Fire/Rescue support
-Emergency Oxygen and Electrical Power supply
-Threat to public in event of ejection
How do you do the Half-DME plus Key Calculation?
-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
What is the airspeed for an ELP?
125 Knots minimum (clean), 120 knots minimum (configured)
What should you do before and/or once arriving at high key?
-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.
At cross key, what should we be checking for?
2200-2300 ft AGL, with aircraft approximately perpendicular.
(if not on altitude evaluate airspeed, bank angle, and winds to determine cause of altitude deviation.
Looking at the wing, how do you know you’re spaced properly for low key?
Fuel cap on runway
Once at low key (abeam touchdown point) what should you do?
Maintain 120 KIAS in the base key turn,
target 600-800 AGL at base key
During an ELP, Once landing is assured, or if airspeed is increasing above 120 KIAS on the base to final turn, consider _____
Flaps LDG
On final during an ELP, aircraft may be slowed to ______ but no lower.
110 Knots (Minimum)
What should we anticipate during the landing phase of an ELP?
Longer flare and touchdown
What is a maneuver that can be used to increase sink rate and lose altitude, but should be avoided in a configured T-6 close to the ground
A slip
During a slip, adjust nose of the plane to be ________ and to maintain __________
below horizon, 125 knots (120 knots configured)
What is the target altitude, airspeed, configuration, and position for high key?
-3000 feet AGL
-120 KIAS Minimum (configured)
-Gear Down
-1/3 down planned runway, 1/4 WTD abeam, or directly above intended landing point, aligned, wings level
What is the target altitude, airspeed, configuration, and position for cross key?
-2200-2300 feet AGL
-120 KIAS minimum (Configured)
-Gear down
-Halfway from high key to low key, approximately perpendicular to the landing runway
What is the target altitude, airspeed, configuration, and position for low key?
-1500 Feet AGL
-120 KIAS minimum (configured)
-Gear down, flaps TO (as required)
-2/3 WTD abeam intended point of touchdown, Fuel cap on runway
What is the target altitude, airspeed, configuration, and position for base key?
-600-800 Feet AGL
