95-1

Question 1

Aircraft lighting requirements:

Answer 1

Anticollision lights will be on when aircraft engines are operating except when conditions may cause vertigo or other hazards to safety.
Position lights will be on bright between official sunset and sunrise.
Commanders may authorize exemptions to lighting requirements in threat environments or for night vision device (NVD) flights when operating per AR 95–2.

Question 2

What are the steps in mission approval (and description)?

Answer 2

1) Initial mission approval authority. Commanders or their designated representatives (operations officer, S–3, and so forth) determine the mission feasibility and either accept or reject the mission for the command.
2) Briefing officer. Commander or their designated representative that interacts with the mission crew or air mission commander to identify, assess, and mitigate risk for the specific mission. Mission briefers are authorized to brief regardless of risk level. Briefing officers must be a qualified and current pilot-in-command in the mission profile as determined and designated by the commander.
(3) Final mission approval authority. Members of the chain of command who are responsible for accepting risk and approving all aviation operations (ground and air) within their unit. They approve missions for a specific risk level. Final mission approval authorities may only approve those missions whose assessed risk level is commensurate with their command level.

Question 12

For a VFR flight, what must destination weather be?

Answer 12

Destination weather must be forecast to be equal to or greater than VFR minimums at estimated time of arrival (ETA) through one hour after ETA. When there are intermittent weather conditions, predominant weather will apply.
Aviators may file flight plans to a destination within Class B, C, D, and E surface area airspace when weather conditions are forecast to be equal to or greater than known special visual flight rules (SVFR) minima for that airspace at ETA through one hour after ETA.

Question 13

Helicopter SVFR minima:

Answer 13

1/2 mile visibility and clear of cloud unless a higher minimum is required at the airfield.

Question 14

Destination weather minima for IFR flight:

Answer 14

Destination weather must be forecast to be equal to or greater than the published weather planning minimum for the approach procedure to be flown at ETA through one hour after ETA. When there are intermittent weather conditions, predominant weather will apply.

Aviators flying helicopters may reduce destination and alternate Category A visibility minimums by 50 percent, but not less than 1/4 mile or metric equivalent. Reduction of visibility for approaches labeled “copter only” is not authorized, and this reduction is applied after all other corrections

Question 15

If there is no weather reporting service, what weather forecast do you use?

Answer 15

Area forecast

Question 16

For all IFR flights and/or VFR cross country flights, when is the weather forecast void?

one hour and 30 minutes from the time the forecast is received provided the aircraft has not departed. Weather forecast may be extended after coordination with a weather facility.
The crew should update weather briefing information on stopover flights.

Question 17

Who has flight plan approval authority?

Answer 17

(3) The predominant weather at the destination is forecast at ETA through one hour after ETA to be less than— (a) Ceiling 400 feet above the weather planning minimum required for the approach to be flown. (b) Visibility one mile (or metric equivalent) greater than the planning minimum required for the approach to be flown. (4) An alternate is not required if descent from en route minimum altitude for IFR operation, approach, and landing can be made in VFR conditions.
