Question 1

What does the RFM say about flying into turbulence (IFR) ?

Answer 1

• Extreme turbulence should be avoided
• Airspeed reduction of 10-15 kts may reduce pilot workload

Question 2

What distance should be kept to thunderstorms ?

Answer 2

Minimum 20 NMwhen TS is identified as severe

Fly at least 1000’ above thunderstorm per. each 10 kts windspeed at the top of the cloud

Question 3

When can you fly into a restricted area ?

Answer 3

When permitted by using agency or controlling agency

Question 4

What’s a ADIZ ?

Answer 4

Air defense identification zone
Intrest of national security

Question 5

What are the standard FSS frequencies ?

Answer 5

122.2
255.4

Question 6

At what 3 altitudes can class E airspace begin ?

Answer 6

Surface AGL
700’ AGL
1200’ AGL

Question 7

When should pilots monitor and communicate on CTAF ?

Answer 7

From 10 NM of airport at altitudes normally used by arriving and departing aircrafts

Question 8

What’s the general weather minimum for:
MVFR

Answer 8

MVFR +1000’ ceiling +3SM vis

Question 9

When does FAA require transponder ?

Answer 9

• Class A airspace
• w/i 30 NM of B
• within or above class C
• at or above 10.000’ MSL

ARMY requires transponder at all time

Question 10

What are the 6 standard transponder codes ?

Answer 10

1200 = VFR
4000 = Military rest/warning area
7777 = Military interceotor operations
7500 = Hijack
7600 = Lost commo
7700 = Emergency

Question 11

What’s the standards for the PPC ?

+/-

Answer 11

Weight ± 50 pounds
Fuel flow ± 50 pounds/hour
Airspeed ± 5 kts
Torque ± 2%

Question 12

PPC card

Max temp and max PA is used for all computations except ____ on the PPC card

Answer 12

Go/no go torque
Predicted hover torque

Question 13

PCC

What does it mean if you are below IGE go/no go torque but above OGE go/no go torque

Answer 13

That you aren’t over max gross weight but you are too heavy to perform OGE maneuvers

Question 14

What does it mean if aircraft gross weight is above GWT OGE w/MCP

Answer 14

That you’ll be in the 5 minute t/o power range when performing OGE maneuvers

Question 15

PPC

OEI IAS MIN/MAX - explain

Answer 15

Both represent 12 FLI when flying one engine inoperative

MIN: Should be touchdown airspeed - single engine landing
MAX: Max airspeed you can fly OEI - can be bigger than 110 kts which is VNE for OEI

Question 16

PPC

When should we computate arrival data ?

Answer 16

When weather differences between T/O and landing locations is : 5º FAT / 500’ PA / 200 lbs wt

Question 17

Which publication are required in the aircraft (normally and IFR)

ADD EFB restrictions

Answer 17

Normally: Green logbook (AWR, 365-4 W&B, 13-1 faults), ACN, RFM+EMER checklist, up to date checklist, PPC
IFR: Physical pubs should be brought if EFB restrictions can’t be followed

EFB: No outdated pubs, 10% battery per flight hour and more than 50%, Both pilots must use same software, no passwords on both ipads

Question 18

crew mission brief

When are you current for flight ?

Answer 18

IP: Not more than 60 days since the last flight as pilot in command
Student: Current upslip

Question 19

Inadverten IMC procedures for pilot not on the controls

Answer 19

Monitor (crosscheck) instruments, assist in recovery, adjust transponder to 7700, tune radios, make radiocalls

Question 20

What’s the “warning” in regard to upper modes when encountering inadverten IMC

Answer 20

Do not use upper modes until aircraft is under control

Question 21

What’s the weight and balance classification of the UH72 ?

And what does this mean ?

Answer 21

Class II
Weight and CG can readilu be exceeded (when not stated in manual an aircraft is considered CAT II)

Question 22

What’s pilot responsibilities for weight and balance ?

Answer 22

• Pilot must ensure current and accurate weight and balance form on board A/C
• Pilot must ensure A/C stays within limits for the entire flight

Fort rucker forms current for a year, US ARMY 90 days
