AR 95-1 Flashcards
Are deviations from AR 95-1 permitted?
Yes, deviations are permitted during emergencies. Any deviations must be reported to the unit commander within 24 hours.
If a pilot is not qualified or current, who must they fly with?
They must fly with an IP, SP, or IE.
Define aviation operations?
Any operation with intent to start the main aircraft engines.
When will the checklist be used?
For preflight through before leaving aircraft checks.
When may required checks be accomplished from memory?
While airborne, when time does not permit use of the checklist or when its use would cause a safety hazard.
When does flying time begin and end?
It begins when the helicopter lifts off the ground and ends when the engines are stopped.
How soon must an aviator turn in their Individual Aircrew Training Folder (IATF) upon reaching a new unit?
Within 14 calendar days.
When may aviators select landing and takeoff areas?
When on lifesaving missions or when further flight is inadvisable.
When must anticollision lights be on?
When the engines are operating except when conditions may cause vertigo or other hazards to safety.
What are the three steps of the mission approval process?
- Initial mission approval — alignment with METL and aircraft available
- Mission planning and briefing — planning and risk assessment
- Final mission approval — risk approval authority accepts the risk with the PC/AMC
When must a mission be rebriefed and reapproved?
If a crewmember changes or a mission parameter changes which increases the resultant risk.
Who may approve individual waivers to aircraft ATP requirements?
The first commander, O-6 or above, in the aviators chain of command.
How long can an aviator go between APARTs before he becomes RL3?
24 months
Who is authorized to conduct EP training?
A qualified and current IP or SP.
When must a post-mishap flight evaluation be conducted?
When crew is involved in a Class A or Class B mishap. May also be conducted for a Class C mishap.
What must be done when ATP requirements are not met?
The commander must begin an investigation within 30 days from the date of notification.
What three actions may a commander take after investigating a failure to meet ATP requirements?
- Authorize a 30 day extension to complete the requirements.
- Request a waiver of requirements.
- Recommend or convene a flying evaluation board (FEB).
May an aviator who failed to complete ATP requirements serve as PC or MBO?
No, until the missed requirements are made up, the aviator may not perform PC or briefing officer duties.
What actions must a commander take if an aviator fails a hands-on performance evaluation in their primary aircraft?
- Reclassify the individual to the appropriate RL.
- Authorize additional training, if necessary.
- Provide a re-evaluation or impose a temporary restriction from flying duties (FEB as necessary).
If a pilot does not fly for __ days they must be administered a proficiency flight evaluation.
