Block 8 Flashcards
What documents do you need on-board the a/c for it to be airworthy?
GPS Manual MEL Airworthiness Cert. Radio License Registration Operating Handbook Weight and Balance
GRABCARD
Generator Radio (2-way) Altimeter Ball (Inclinometer) Clock (Installed, reads seconds) Attitude Indicator Rate of Turn Indicator Directional Gyro
AV1ATE
Annual VOR (30 days for IFR) 100 hour (for hire) Altimeter Transponder ELT (12 cal months or 1/2 useful battery life)
What kind of inspection does UND use for our aircraft?
- Progressive Inspections: rotations based on engine hours
- Satisfies 100 hour and Annual inspections as long as all phases are completed within 1 year
What are the IFR currency requirements?
Within the last 6 calendar months:
1. 6 IAPs
2. Holding procedure
3. Intercepting and tracking courses using electronic nav.
~ actual or simulated instrument conditions ~
What is a MOCA? How can you identify one on an EnRoute chart?
- Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude
- Garuntees obstacle clearance, and reception from the VOR station for 22nm
- It will be along a Victor airway with an * infront of it
What is an MRA? How can you identify one on an EnRoute chart?
- Minimum Reception Altitude
- The lowest altitude on an airway where an a/c can receive reliable navaid coverage
- Flag with an “R” in it
Name 5 types of icing and their characteristics
- Rime - Rough, milky color due to trapped air (freeze faster)
- Clear - Glossy, transparent (freeze slower)
- Mixed - Combo. of rime and clear ice
- Induction - Ice formed in the induction system due to cooling from traveling through the venturi
- Structural - The accumulation of ice on the exterior of the a/c
IFR 2-way radio communications failure procedures for Route, Altitude and Clearance Limit
*Squawk 7600* Route: 1. Assigned 2. Vectored 3. Expected 4. Filed Altitude: (highest) 1. MEA 2. Expected 3. Assigned Clearance Limit: - Were you cleared to a fix from which an approach begins? - Did you recieve an EFC time? 1. Yes/EFC time - commence descent then 2. Yes/NO EFC time - commence descent at filed ETA 3. No/EFC time - leave clearance limit at EFC time, go to a fix where an IAP begins and remain there until your filed ETA 4. No/NO EFC time - get to clearance limit and proceed to a fix where an IAP begins and remain there until your filed ETA
What is a SID? When and HOW is a SID published?
- Standard Instrument Departure, need ATC clearance
- Provided graphically
- Purpose: To reduce pilot/ATC workload
- If climb gradient is non-standard it will be noted, gets you to your ROUTE
What are the 2 different types of SIDs?
- Pilot Navigation - Provide your own navigation with minimal ATC assistance
- Vectors - ATC assistance based on 400ft above DER before turning
What is the purpose of having departure procedures?
To provide safe transition and obstacle avoidance from the terminal area to the appropriate en-route structure
How can you get an IFR clearance at an uncontrolled airport?
- Call FSS over the radio (RCO) before takeoff
- Call the National Clearance Delivery Line (1-888-766-8267) on the ground
- Contact Center over the radio when airborne
What is ODP? When is an ODP created? What format is it provided in?
- Obstacle Departure Procedure, may be flow without ATC clearance
- Provided textually or graphically
- Must maintain 200ft/NM climb gradient to get you out of the airspace safely
- Created when something penetrates the 152ft/NM climb gradient
What do Distance NOTAMs (D) cover?
Distance airports!
