2020/21 APART Flashcards
What is the minimum oxygen requirement for pressurized aircraft when above 14,000 feet pressure altitude? (95-1)
10 minute emergency oxygen supply at a minimum; additional oxygen required when terrain/weather/fuel consumption prevents descent below 10,000 feet.
A DD Form 365-4 shall be checked for accuracy how often? (95-1)
IAW 95-1, all weight and balance records will be reviewed at a minimum every 12 months.
IAW TM 55-1500-342-23, 365-4s will be reviewed every 90 days.
What does the horizontal dash (-) mean when entered on a DA Form 2408-13-1? (DA PAM 738-571)
A horizontal dash ( - ) symbol indicates that the condition of an aircraft, system, or aviation equipment is unknown. This status symbol indicates a dangerous condition potentially exists and corrective action is required as soon as possible.
When is the DA Form 2408-13 closed out? (DA PAM 738-571)
After the last flight of the mission day.
What are the four times when a holding-in-lieu of a procedure turn is not authorized (AIM)?
- Cleared for a straight in approach
- “No PT” is depicted
- You are receiving radar vectors to final
- Conducting a timed approach from a holding fix
When sending a PIREP about icing conditions what indications would you see for moderate icing when in the cockpit? (FIH)
The rate of accumulation is such that even short encounters become potentially hazardous and use of de-icing/anti-icing equipment or diversion is necessary.
After a R BL AIR FAIL annunciator comes on you perform the correct emergency procedure, but the R BL AIR FAIL annunciator stays on. Why? (TM 1-1510-259-10)
After a rupture in the EVA line, the L/R BL AIR FAIL annunciators will not extinguish after closing the bleed air valve.
What are the two primary occasions that require brake deicing? (TM 1-1510-259-10)
- When an aircraft has been parked in a freezing atmosphere allowing the brake systems to become contaminated by freezing rain/snow/ice and you need to taxi.
- During flight through icing conditions with wet brake assemblies presumed to be frozen which must be thawed prior to landing to avoid loss of control.
On the ground with all electrical power OFF; is the safety valve open or closed? Why? (TM 1-1510-259-10)
Closed.
If either of these switches is open, or the vacuum source or electrical power is lost, the safety valve will close to atmosphere except at maximum pressure differential.
If the BATTERY CHARGE annunciator illuminates during steady cruise, what is happening and what should you do? (TM 1-1510-259-10)
It indicates that conditions exist that may cause a battery thermal runaway. If this occurs, the battery switch shall be turned OFF and may be turned back ON for gear and flap extension and approach to landing.
How is the light adjusted on the VHF Communication Transceivers (VHF-22D)? (TM 1-1510-259-10)
A built in light sensor automatically adjusts controls display brightness.
When using the civilian transponder, if you want to use the transponder on the ground with altitude reporting, but don’t want to turn on the TCAS what mode would you select? (TM 1-1510-259-10)
In the transponder (XPDR) position, the selected transponder and altitude reporting are active. The TCAS system is off.
When referencing the TCAS what does the solid circle represent? (TM 1-1510-259-10)
Solid Circle = Traffic Alert (yellow), potential threat level intruder; TA generated; range and bearing relative to own aircraft.
What is an EMAS and what is it’s purpose? (AIM)
Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS): Designed to crush under the weight of commercial aircraft and Weill exert deceleration forces on the landing gear.
When is the ILS critical area active? (AIM)
When official weather observation is a ceiling of 800’ or less, and/or visibility 2 miles or less.
What does the absence of symbol [inverted C] mean on an Instrument Approach Plate and what does that mean for the C-12?
The absence of an inverted C indicates the approach has a standard circling approach area, which is a circling radius of 1.7 NM for a C-12 (CAT C aircraft)
What is the definition of takeoff distance available (TODA)? (AIM)
The takeoff run available plus the length of any remaining runway or clear way beyond the far end of the takeoff run available.
What is a clearway? (AIM)
An area beyond the takeoff runway under the control of airport authorities within which terrain or fixed obstacles may not extend above specified limits.
What is a visual climb over airfield (VCOA)? (AIM)
A departure option for an IFR aircraft operating in VMC equal to or greater than the specified visibility and ceiling, to visually conduct climbing turns over the airport to the published climb-to altitude from which to proceed with the instrument portion of the departure.
