Q

What is a standard instrument departure (SID)?

A

A departure procedure established at certain airfields to simplify clearance delivery procedures and assist in meeting environmental, capacity, and ATC requirements. Cannot fly a SID without ATC clearance.

25
What is a MAJCOM certified departure?
Procedures created for specific aircraft at specific locations in accordance with AFMAN 11-230.
26
Altitude restriction over non congested areas?
PIC will operate over non congested areas at an altitude at or above 500 feet AGL except over open water or in sparsely populated areas
27
Altitude restriction over congested areas?
PIC will operate over congested areas or groups of people at an altitude which ensures 1000 feet above highest obstacle within 2,000 foot radius
28
Max airspeed under 10,000 feet?
PIC will not exceed 250 knots below 10,000 feet MSL
29
The PIC will not exceed 200 knots....
At or below 2500 feet AGL within 4 NM of the primary airport in class C or D airspace unless authorized.
30
What is a TACAN?
Consists of a rotating antenna for transmitting azimuth info and a receiver-transmitter for range info
31
You cannot use a TACAN unless...
Valid azimuth and range info are available
32
What is the service area for an ILS?
FAA defines standard service volume for a localizer is 18 NM within the 10-degree sector and 10 NM for the remainder
33
What is the max offset a localizer can have?
More than 5 degrees from runway centerline = instrument guidance system More than 3 degrees: considered localizer type directional aid
34
What info do you need to mission plan?
Weather NOTAMS Airfield suitability and Restrictions report FLIP Fuel requirements BWC Special departure procedure if authorized by MAJCOM
35
List of authorized weather sources:
MAJCOM approved weather source Regional OWS Other DOD military weather sources Other US government weather facilities/services Foreign civil or military weather service
36
What is RVR?
Runway visual range It’s a report that applies to all takeoffs, landings, and straight in approaches to the runway and take precedence over any other via report
37
What does the NOTAM system do?
Distributes time critical aeronautical information
38
What is Critical DME?
A DME facility that, when not available, results in navigation service which is not sufficient for DME/DME/IRU ops
39
Where should aircrew use PUBS from?
Obtain and use info from | USG sources
40
When can you depart IFR?
Weather conditions at destination, +- 1 hour of ETA, is forecast to be at/above the lowest compatible approach mins. Tempos not included
41
File an alternate airfield when:
A compatible approach is not available at destination Weather +- 1 hour of ETA (includes tempo), are less than: 2000 ft ceiling and 3 SM vis Crosswinds out of limits
42
For alternate selection: do not depart IFR unless prevailing weather at alternate is
+- 1 hour of ETA, including tempos (except t-storms, rain showers, or snow showers) is: 1000 ft ceiling, or 500 above lowest compatible approach mins, whichever’s higher 2 SM vis or 1 SM above lowest compatible approach mins, whichever’s higher
43
What does the “alternate a” represent?
Informs pilots that the alternate weather mins for an airfield are non-standard
44
What does the “alternate NA” represent?
Informs pilots that the specific approach cannot be used to qualify the field as an alternate due to an unmonitored NAVAID or lack of a weather reporting service
45
Do not operate under VFR when:
unable to maintain flight visibility or cloud clearances Within the lateral boundaries of controlled airspace designated to the surface of an airport when the ceiling is less than 1000 feet
46
What are the 2types of waypoints?
Fly over - indicated by a waypoint marker in a circle/ no turn anticipation allowed Fly by - standard waypoint symbol/ turn anticipation allowed
47
What are the wake turbulence weight classes?
Super - A380-800/Antonov An-225 Heavy - all types 300,000 lbs or more Large - aircraft of more than 41,000 lbs, max certified takeoff weight, up to but not including 300,000 lbs Small - aircraft of 41,000 lbs or less max certified takeoff weight (NAS only)
48
NAS wake turbulence separation
``` Heavy behind super - 6 miles Large behind super - 7 miles Small behind super - 8 miles Heavy behind heavy - 4 miles Small/large behind heavy - 5 miles Small behind B757 - 4 miles ```
49
What is a terminal arrival area?
Provides a transition from the enroute structure to the terminal environment for aircraft equipped with RNAV systems
50
What are radar vectors?
Provide course guidance and expedite traffic to the final approach course of any published procedure or to the traffic pattern for a visual approach
51
When can you descend below DA/MDA?
Sufficient visual reference with the runway environment and aircraft is in a safe position to land
52
What is put on an approach plate when more than one type of equipment is required for an approach?
A slash (/)
53
What is a non radar approach?
An approach that does not require radar vectoring or radar services on final and may/may not provide vertical glide slope/glide path guidance
54
What is a VDA?
Vertical descent angle | Optimum is 3 degrees
55
What is TCH?
Threshold crossing height Point where VDA crosses threshold Typically 30-50 feet
56
What are the 5 segments of an instrument approach?
``` Arrival Initial Intermediate Final Missed approach ```
57
What are the 2 types of course reversals?
Procedure turns and racetrack
58
What speed should procedure turns be flown at?
200 KIAS or less
59
When can you not execute a procedure turn?
``` Straight-in cleared NoPT Established on inbound course Radar vectors to final Timed approach from a holding fix ```
