Question 4

Common standards for all tasks:

Answer 4

Perform crew coordination actions per chapter 6 and the task description.
Do not exceed aircraft limitations.
Utilize applicable terminology in accordance with (IAW) FM 1-02.1.

Obstacles
Range to target
Multiple firing positions
Adequate area to maneuver

Question 9

Firing position considerations:

Answer 9

Background
Range

Question 10

When do you initiate a climb during a level acceleration takeoff?

Answer 10

Accelerate through VSSE prior to establishing a climb.

This reduces the risks associated with operation in the avoid region should an engine fail.

Answer 11

80 to 200 ft AHO

Question 12

Contour flight altitude:

Answer 12

25 to 80 ft AHO

Question 13

NOE flight altitude:

Answer 13

Up to 25 ft AHO

Question 14

When are additional power checks required?

Answer 14

Significant increase in load or environmental conditions.

1000 lbs GW, 1000 ft PA, 5 deg C

Question 15

Aircraft hovers how many degrees left side low:

Answer 15

3 deg

Question 16

When conducting limited power takeoffs, the P* should consider accelerating to _________ airspeed prior to initiating the climb and maintaining that airspeed until achieving the desired altitude.

Answer 16

Max END/RC

Question 17

What are the APU common standards?

Answer 17

Maintain airspace surveillance

Apply appropriate environmental considerations

Question 18

What is minimum safe altitude (MSA)?

Answer 18

Minimum safe height above the surface or obstacles to which the aircraft can descend in a masked condition.

Question 19

What is minimum maneuvering altitude?

Answer 19

The altitude above the mask or barriers at which the aircraft can safely hover.

Question 20

VMC takeoff standards:

Answer 20

• Takeoff Heading +/- 10 deg below 50 ft or clear of obstacles, or minimum power takeoff until through ETL
• Ground track alignment w/ takeoff direction
• Trim above 50 ft or appropriate for obstacle avoidance
• Accelerate to desired airspeed +/- 10 knots
• Takeoff power not to exceed max TQ available, VSSE, or as conditions permit.

Question 21

VMC approach standards:

Answer 21

1. Select a suitable landing area.
2. Evaluate power required versus power available for the type of approach selected.
3. Maintain a constant approach angle to the desired point of termination (hover or touchdown) with deviations for surface conditions or obstacles at the point of termination.
4. Maintain ground track alignment with the landing direction with minimum drift.
5. Maintain rate of closure appropriate for the conditions.
6. Align aircraft with landing direction below 50 feet or as appropriate for obstacle avoidance.
7. Perform a smooth and controlled termination to a hover or to the ground at the intended point of touchdown.

Question 22

How do you validate the PERF page?

Answer 22

Verify GW
