When aircraft are approaching each-other head on, each shall alter course to the ___
Right
An aircraft established on___ ___ has the right away over other aircraft on the ground or in the air, except when 2 aircraft are approaching to land. In this case the ___ aircraft has the right of way but shall not use it as an advantage.
Final Approach : Lower
Decent gradients in excess of ___ in IMC May induce Spatial D when descending at pilots description

4000
If operating with the TCAS on, pilots will select the TCAS mode the provides both ___ and ___.
Traffic Advisories (TAs) and Resolution Advisories (RAs)
T/F. Pilots will respond to all RAs regardless of ATC instructions, right of way rules, cloud clearances, or other VFR/ IFR flight rules, as directed by TCAS unless doing so would jeopardize safe operations
True
When responding to an RA do you need to alter flight path completely?
Only to the extent necessary to comply with the RA
When responding to an RA should you return to an ATC clearance?
Yes, Notify ATC of deviation as soon as practicable
For simulated instrument flight, a safety observer who is able to clear outside at all times is needed. This safety observer can either be an ___ or a ____?
Aircrew member or chase aircraft
T/F. By filing a flight plan, the PIC certifies that they have checked weather observation and forecasts.
True
Priorities in order for obtaining weather information.
1) MAJCOM approved sources
2) Regional Weather Squadron (OWS)
3) Other DOD/ military approved weather facilities or services
4) Other US Gov weather facilities or services
5) Foreign weather facilities or services
Does prevailing visibility or RVR take precedence as a visibility report?
RVR
Aircrew will use what kind of RVR when available?
Static RVR
What is critical DME?
DME facility that when not available results in navigation service which is not sufficient for DME/DME/IRU operations along specific route or procedure
In the NAS only ___ ___ is required for all unpublished or random RNAV routes
Radar Monitoring
Pilots won’t ___ a flight plan or ___ ___ ___ that requires navigating direct to a navigational fix unless the primary navigation equipment on board the aircraft is certified for the appropriate RNAV capability
File or accept a clearance
T/F. Without the appropriate RNAV capability, pilots will respond “unable” to ATC when given a clearance.
True
4 ways RNAV systems may be used when a facility is identified as required.
1) determine aircraft position relative to a distance from conventional NAVAID
2) navigate to/ from conventional NAVAID
3) hold over an conventional NAVAID or DME navigational fix
4) Use of a procedure identified as “NA”
Do not depart IFR unless
Weather at destination +/- 1 hr from ETA is at or above lowest compatible approach minimums
Can you depart IFR if the weather meets requirements, but a TEMPO TAF line during your ETA is below requirements?
Yes
For a straight in or side-step approach, weather minimums must meet ___ minimums
Visibility
For a circling approach, weather minimums must meet ___ and ___ ___ minimums.
Ceiling and prevailing visibility
When must you file an alternate?
1) No compatible approaches
2) +/- 1Hr of ETA including TEMPO is less than 2,000’ and 3SM
3) Forecasted winds are outside of aircraft limitations including TEMPO
4) Denial of RVSM will prevent you from reaching destination
Do not depart IFR unless weather at the alternate is what?
+/- 1Hr if ETA including TEMPO is at least 1000’ and 2SM or 500’ and 1SM above lowest compatible approach minimums whichever is greater.
Does an alternate need to have a compatible approach to be selected?
No, only if +/- 1Hr of ETA including TEMPO permit a descent from minimum en route altitude, approach, and landing under basic VFR
What disqualifies an airport as an alternate?
1) All compatible approaches require an unmonitored NAVAID
2) The airfield doesn’t report weather observations
3) Alternate Not Authorized (ANA) on all compatible approaches
4) Any note disqualifying the airfield or all compatible approaches in the “A IFR Alternate Minimums” Section
What symbol informs pilots that a specific approach cannot be used to qualify the field as an alternate due to an unmonitored NAVAID or lack of weather reporting services?
“ANA” = Alternate not Authorized
Are VFR flight plans automatically closed upon landing?
No
The PIC will ensure sufficient fuel on board to ____ plus ____ ?
Final landing, destination or alternate
Plus

When an alternate airport is required, when must you carry enough fuel for an approach and missed approach at the intended destination and when must you carry enough fuel for an approach only?
1) If visibility only weather criteria is used at destination
2) If both ceiling and visibility criteria are used
What is reserve fuel?

Calculate fuel consumption rates that provide ___ ___ at ____
Best endurance
