Q

How are wires over-flown ?

A
  1. Before crossing identify the heighest wire
  2. Cross near pole to aid visual perception and minimize time the aircraft is unmasked

Q

How does the aircraft indicate the wind direction ?

Crosswind + tail/head wind

A

1) Drift from ground track indicates a crosswind
2) A difference between apparent ground speed and indicated airspeed suggest tail/head wind

A

Physical
Weather (METEROLOGICAL)
Human factors

M-P-H

18
Q

What are the physical hazards to terrain flight ?

A

Natural: Trees, vegetation, terrain and birds.
Manmade: Building, wires, towers ect.

19
Q

What are weather hazards to terrain flight ?

A

Reduced visibility, rising sun, strong and gusting winds, turbulence and thermals

V - D - W - C

20
Q

WARNING

Avoid ____ below ____ KIAS close to the ground to maintain sufficient ____ control margin for recovery

A

Avoid steep right turns below 45 KIAS close to the ground to maintain sufficient lateral control margin for recovery

21
Q

What is the best possible route ?

A

The route that requires the least amount of power for the landing intended - to the ground or a particular hover height - without compromising a viable escape

22
Q

What are the standards for:
Terrain flight navigation ?

A

-NOE flight: know enroute location w/i 200m
-Contour: Know the enroute location w/i 500m
-Locate each object w/i 100m
-Arrive at each objective ± 1 min

23
Q

When should aircraft be in trim during terrain flight ?

A

During Low level and Contour flight

NOE as applicable

24
Q

What are the standards for terrain flight decceleration ?

A
  • Maintain heading
  • Maintain tail clear
  • Deccelerate to desired IAS or full stop
25
Q

What should you be aware of when selecting/approaching a LZ / PZ / HA which is confined

A

-Go around axis (with determination point)
-How many aircraft the area can hold

26
Q

What are the standard for performing aerial observation ?

A

Detect
Identify
Locate
Report

27
Q

What are the methods for conducting aerial observation ?

A

Motive
Stationary
Side-scan

28
Q

Aerial observation

Describe: Motive technique

A

Two major sectors:
Non-observation sector: Pilot view restricted
Observation sector: Where search activity is confined

Observation sector:
- Acquisition sector: The forward 45 degree (primary)
- Recognition sector: The remainder

29
Q

Aerial observation

Describe: Stationary technique

A

Used at NOE / Hovering altitudes when aircraft is concealed

Is a quick overall search (10 sec) starting immediate infront, searching an area of 50m overlapping ourward from aircraft.

30
Q

Describe: Side scan technique

A

Aircraft at 100’ AGL at high cruise speed
The crew will look 1000m outward and scan towards aircraft - then 500 - then 250

Each time halfing the previous scan

31
Q

What factors affect your arial observation ?

A

W-A-A-T-C-H
Weather
Airspeed
Altitude
Terrain (LOS)
Cues (MCLOSSTTH)
Human eye

32
Q

What are the 3 types of masking/unmasking ?

A

1) Unmasking in flight
2) Unmasking from hover (vertical)
3) Unmasking from hover (lateral)

33
Q

What considerations are used during area reconnaissance ?

A

Technical (LONGLASSV)
Tactical (MSL)
Meteorological (VDWC)

34
Q

In regards to “Perform tactical flight mission planning” - what are the standards for Distance & Fuel ?

A

Distance: ± 1 KM - GS ± 5 kts - ETE ± 1min
Fuel: ±100 lbs

35
Q

What’s the standard for masking/unmasking ?

A
  1. Map/photo reccon.
  2. Mask aircraft
  3. 10 second exposure
  4. scan sectors
  5. Maneuver space
  6. Move to new location before re unmasking
  7. Report
36
Q

When is NOE flight used ?

A

When enemy contact is expected or a greater degree of consealment is required

37
Q

When is contour flight used ?

A

When enemy contact is possible.

38
Q

When is Low level used ?

A

When enemy contact is unlikely.
Fastest method for moving a formation of aircrafts - but least amount of security

39
Q

Why do we as aviators use terrain flight ?

A

To deminish the enemys capability to track, aquire and engage the aircraft.

40
Q

What’s the maximum altitude for NOE flight ?

A

25’ AHO

41
Q

What’s the altitude for contour flight ?

A

25 - 80’ (skids) AHO
