How should you return NORDO from the MOA VMC?
Descend below 10,000’ in lateral confines of area and proceed to VFR entry with VFR hemispheric altitudes. E is odd plus 500, W is even plus 500
How should you return NORDO from the MOA in IMC?
Climb to FL240 in assigned airspace and proceed to IAP, hold and descend as published and execute published approach.
How should you return NORDO while on recovery in VMC?
Passing 10,000’ continue descent to VFR hemispheric altitude and proceed direct to VFR entry
How should you return NORDO while on recovery in IMC or in the radar pattern?
Intercept the 15 DME arc at 4000’ MSL and execute published approach to center. Do not descend below 4000’ until established in the approach
How should you fly NORDO when established in RSU/Tower pattern?
Fly normal groundtrack to initial and rock wings, pitch our to land and look for light gun signals on final.
How should you fly a complete electrical failure in day VMC?
Recover via NORDO procedures. Fly a st in, 1800’ MSL and fly over RSU at 500’ AGL, at DER turn Xwind for a st in and fly normal st in ground track at 2300’ MSL.
What is the controlled bailout area?
R-204, hdg 204, 15 DME, 4500’ MSL
What is joker fuel?
A prebriefed fuel state needed to terminate an event transition to the next phase of flight.
How do you compute MSA for a low level?
Add 500’ to the highest obstruction to flight within 5 mm of route centerline including the aircraft turn radius
How do you compute RAA (route abort altitude)?
Add 1000’ (2000’ in mt terrain) to elevation of the highest obstruction within 22 mm either side of the entire planned route
What is bingo fuel?
A prebriefed fuel state which allows the aircraft to return to the base of intended landing or alternate if required, using preplanned recovery parameters and arriving with normal recovery fuel.
What is normal recovery fuel?
The fuel on initial or FAF at the base of intended landing or alternate, if required. 800 lbs or local requirements whichever is higher.
What is min fuel?
600 lbs or less
What is emergency fuel?
400 lbs or less

No
What’s the min maneuvering airspeed?
150 Kts
When are ops checks required?
1) . During climb or level off after takeoff
2) . Before each engagement or intercept
3) . Before entering air-to-surface range, once on range if doing multiple passes and after departing range
What do you check at a minimum on an ops check?

When must you do a G-ex?
Anytime expected to maneuver above 5 Gs
Maintain a minimum of how much between aircraft during the G-ex?
4000’
Where can you do the G-ex?
1) . Special use airspace
2) . Above 10,000’ MSL or below 10,000’ MSL outside special use airspace
3) . Inside confines of MTRs and low level training zones
What do you use a knock it off call for?
When safety of flight is a factor.
What is the maximum flight size in IMC?
Four aircraft
Do not use rolling maneuvers to maintain or regain formation position below what?
5000’ AGL or in airspace where aerobatics are prohibited
What must a flight lead have before breaking up formations?
Must make sure each pilot has a positive fix from which to navigate (VOR, INS, GPS etc)
What are the min altitudes for lead changes?
500’ AGL over land; 1000’ AGL over water; 1500’ AGL in IMC (except radar downwind, can be below)

2) . Wingman further act than a normal fingertip or route position
When directed to deconflict what minimum altitude separation should be used (after a blind call)?
500’
When are three situations where the flight lead is responsible for deconfliction?
1) . Tactical maneuvering places the leader in the wingman’s blind cone
2) . Wingman’s primary attention is away from lead
3) . Wingman calls blind and receives acknowledgement from the flight lead
