AR 95-1 Flashcards
An individual has received a waiver for not completing their ATP requirements? Who may grant such a waiver? If the individual has not completed their APART requirements (who has been affected by a waiver) for the preceding 24 months, what must occur?
The first commander O6 in the individuals chain if command. They must be designated RL3 until all APART requirements are met.. This requirement is not waiverable.
Who is required to close the flight plan once it is terminated?
PC’s need to close their flight plans once a flight has terminated.
In regards to ALSE, what is the PC’s responsibilities before flight?
PC’s will ensure that ALSE commensurate with the mission and the operational environment is available on the aircraft and that aircrew members and passengers are briefed on its location and use.
When must aircraft be weighed?
Aircraft must be weighed when: • Overhaul or major airframe repairs are accomplished • Modifications of 1 percent or greater of the aircraft’s basic weight are applied • Any modifications or component replacements (including painting) have been made for which the weight and center of gravity cannot be accurately computed. • Weight and balance data records are suspected to be in error. • Every 24 months for class 2 aircraft and 36 months for class 1
THE AVIATOR FLYING ON TAKEOFF who has logged more than __________ hours or more of actual weather time as a pilot in command has no Army take off minimums. Instrument time in the simulator does not apply.
50 hours
At a minimum, what must an MBO review and assess?
• The flight is in support of the unit and has passed step one in the approval process • The crew understands the mission and posses the SA to complete the mission • The crew has had adequate mission planning time • Assigned flight crew are qualified and current including ALSE and reading card • Weather • Crew endurance • Risks are mitigated to the lowest level • Required special equipment is operational
How low can you an aviator fly over a National security area which is not prohibited or restricted?
2000 feet AGL
If your aircraft is installed with a flight data recorder, and the data recorder is failed, must you cancel mission? What type of information (secret, classified, etc…) may be on the device?
You do not have to cancel the mission, but the recorder should be operational for all flight. The information may be classified or sensitive in nature and should be protected as such.
Aircraft engaged in over-water flights will adhere to what requirements?
• Life preservers – All personnel aboard Army single engine or multi-engine aircraft that do not have single engine flight capability that are flown beyond gliding distance of land, will wear life preservers. • Life Rafts – Life rafts sufficient for all personnel on board are required on all Army aircraft during flights made in excess of 30 minutes flying time or 100 NM from the nearest shoreline
How long must copies of the unit risk assessment worksheet and DA 5484 be maintained?
30 days
What is so important about crew endurance?
Risks increase due to sleep depravation and fatigue. Flight surgeon and safety officer should give advice to the commander in developing the crew endurance program.
All army aircraft that are instrumented for IFR flight and are flown by an instrument rated pilot will operate on IFR flight plans except when?
• Flight is primarily VFR training • Time will not permit mission completion under IFR • Mission can only be accomplished under VFR • Excessive ATC departure, en route, or terminal area delays are encountered • Hazardous WX conditions must be avoided • Aircraft is being flown single pilot
Under what conditions can aircrew choose not to use the checklist?
While airborne, when time does not permit, use of the checklist or when its use would cause a safety hazard, required checks may be accomplished from memory.
An SP must always evaluate other IPs and SPs. When could two IP’s evaluate one another?
For NVD and aircraft currency
What are your fuel requirements?
At takeoff, aircraft must have enough fuel to reach their destination and alternate airport (if applicable) and have a planned fuel reserve as required by AR 95-1.
How may steps are included in the mission approval process? What are they?
• Initial mission approval- alignment with METL and aircraft available • Mission planning and briefing – Planning and risk assessment • Final mission approval – Risk approval authority initials/signs the risk with the MBO and PC
Who may fly army aircraft?
• Army active and RC rated aviators that have completed qualification, training, evaluation, and currency requirements. • Civilians who have appropriate ratings and certifications and written authorization from the appropriate commander. • Aviators in other services with the same requirements as stated above • Foreigners with the same requirements as above, in a addition to a letter absolving the US government for liability. • Flight school students, flying with IP, SP, IE. • Individuals receiving training that are part of DAMO AV– Must be trained be DES • Flight surgeons or PA when not more than 1 pilot is required as a minimum crew. IP must be at a set of controls.
How long does a crew member have to turn in their IFRF and IATF when reporting to a new duty station? Should the aviator allow the records to be shipped?
Crew members should HAND CARRY their records and turn them in within 14 calendar days after reporting for duty or placement on flying status.
How often must weight and balance files be checked for accuracy?
Every 90 days
Smoking and open flames are prohibited within how many feet of military aircraft?
50 feet.
If an aviator has not completed an instrument EVAL with an IE within the proceeding ________ months, can they fly into forecast IMC. What if they have a waiver
12 months, the aviator can not fly into forecast IMC, and it is not waiverable.
What DA form is used for logging flight time?
DA Form 2408-12
Can aircraft be flown into thunderstorms?
No.
Can a UT conduct emergency procedure training or evaluating ATM individual, crew, or maintenance tasks?
UT’s are prohibited from conducting emergency procedures training in the aircraft as well as evaluating ATM tasks.
What if there is intermittent weather conditions?
predominant weather will apply.
What is the Class 1 aircraft? What is a class 2 aircraft? (This question is in reference to weight and balance)
Class 1 = Aircraft whose weight or CG can sometimes be exceeded by loading arrangements normally used in tactical operations. Therefore, limited control is needed. Class 2 = Aircraft whose weight or CG limits can readily be exceeded by loading arrangements normally used in tactical operations or those aircraft designed primarily www.gomotherrucker.com - for personal use only AR 95-1 - 10 for transporting troops and other passengers. Therefore a high degree of loading control is needed. Also, all aircraft who weight and balance is not stated in the operator’s manual will be considered Class 2.
What are traffic pattern altitudes normally set to?
1500 feet AGL.
Traffic pattern altitudes at Army airfields for airplanes should be set at _____feet AGL.
1500 feet AGL.
If you want to stay over the top for longer than 30 minutes, what is required?
The aircraft is equipped for IMC and all IFR flight rules can be met for the for the remainder of flight.
What is the controlling visibility factor when published and reported for a runway
RVR (Runway Visual Range)
What if there is no local weather reporting?
You are allowed to use the Terminal Area Forecast.
