How is an alternate airport selected ?
**An alternate airport may be used when:** 1. PREDOMINANT WX / The worst weather for that airport ETA+1h is 400' and 1 SM above minimum planning weather 2. RADAR is not required 3. NAVAIDS are monitored 4. VFR / Descend from enroute, completing approach and landing - can be made using VFR cloud clearance + visibility requirements for that airspace 5.

39
All aviators will comply with published ____ - ____ and ____ in FLIPS.
Non standard IFR T/O minimums Departure procedures Obstacle departure procedures
40
What's T/O WX restrictions when flying IFR
Logged **actual** inflight IFR hours dependent 1. Aviator with +50 logged hours = **non** 2. Aviators with less than 50 hours **100' ceiling** and **1/4 SM** visibility, RVR 1200 *(may be used when at a RW with RVR reported)*

No
42
What WX is required for *initiating* and approach
An approach can be initiated **regardless of ceiling and visibility**
43
How shall the displays be set up when performing **VOR approach** | Non precision approach - ground based
44
How shall the displays be set up when performing **LNAV approach** | Non precision approach - lateral navigation - space based (GPS)
45
How shall the displays be set up when performing **LP approach** | Non precision approach - space based (GPS)
46
How shall the displays be set up when performing **LPV approach** | Non precision approach PERFORMED like a precision - uses DA

How shall the displays be set up when performing **ILS approach** | Precision approach - ground based
48
How shall the displays be set up when performing **LOC approach** | Non precision approach - ground based
49
What is the 1-3-6 rule in IFR flight planning ?
**1. (1) To file a IFR flight plan to a destination** WX ETA+1 must be =/+ planning minimums for approach (helicopters may reduce 50%*) **2. (3) An alternate is required if** - RADAR is required for approach - NAVAIDS are unmt - Predominant WX ETA+1 is < Approach minima + 400' / 1SM vis **3. (6) An airfield may not be used as alternate if** - Radar is required - NAVAIDS unmt - approach procedure is A/NA (rmk.app.plate) - class B through E airspace is not present or active - VFR kicker - forcast worst wx ETA + 1 < Approach minima + 400' / 1SM vis
50
Explain the VFR exception rule

59
When does the navigation go into "approach mode" ?
45 degreese of FAF course | Approach mode = 1.25 degreese for every dot
60
What does this mean ?
**DME distance** We can use it to fix/assess DIST during our approach *(but we sub. GARMIN for DME)*
61
What's APV's ?
**Approach with vertical guidance** *It's a non precesion approach, performed as a precision approach. Legally it just doesn't live up the the standards for a PA* | LNAV/VNAV + LPV
62
What are the two types of precision approaches we can perform as Army aviators at Rucker ?
ILS approach PAR approach “LPV” .. technically not a precision app
63
When should ATC 1. Receive our flightplan 2. How delayed can we be before we should call ? 3. When do they throw it away ?
1. 30 min prior 2. 1 hour delay 3. 2 hours = FP dropped
64
What must your aircraft be equipped with to fly a "LP" approach
WAAS **Wide Area Augmentation System** WAAS is designed to improve the accuracy, integrity, and availability of GPS signals
65
What's the 3 "spaced based" approach we can do in the Lakota ? | What does it mean for our display setup ?
**LNAV, LP, LPV** Set up displays (NMS-GLS-GLS)
66
What are the 3 ground based approach we can do in the lakota ? | What does it mean for our display setup ?
**VOR, ILS, LOC** Set up displays (VOR-ILS-ILS)
67
When would our CDI be in GPS mode (garmin) ? | What would our T/O displays show then ?
When no VOR is available for the departure When we have to use GPS as primary navaid | NMS
68
Which approach is the only one where we don't set/use CDI on approach course ?
**LNAV approach** (NMS)
69
What does it mean when "radar" is required for a departure/approach ?
Radar equipment on a/c is required bc. the procedure calls for ATC vectoring you
70
Give an exampel of a UNIFORM radiocall for approach: `Inbound, RW 17, Crestview, optional dist, callsign`
