BWS TD 82 Flashcards
Discuss the procedure required to perform under-flight of wires.
Minimum ground to wire clearance of hover height plus 25ft. Ground speed should be no greater than that of a brisk walk. Ensure lateral clearance from guy wires and poles.
When performing a VMC takeoff, after assessing the takeoff area, wind, and obstacles, the P* will select and announce the type of takeoff. Name the different types.
- Normal
- Constant Angle
- Vertical
- Level Acceleration
When should a level acceleration type takeoff be selected?
Where power required to hover is the max power available.
The decision to go-around may be made at any time but in limited power situations should be determined before __________
Descending below the barriers or decelerating below ETL
An approach to the forward 1/3 of the usable (landing) area will reduce the __________
Approach angle and minimize power requirements.

- React
- Develop the situation
- Choose an action
- Execute and report
What are the elements when transmitting a SPOT report?
- Size
- Activity
- Location
- Uniform
- Time

What is the definition of Low Level Flight?
Constant altitude and airspeed.
Skids or wheels between 80 - 200ft AHO (NVGs)
What is the definition of Contour Flight?
Relatively constant airspeeds and varying altitudes as dictated by terraion and obstacles.
Skids or wheels between 25 - 80ft AHO (NVGs)
What is the defintion of NOE Flight?
As close to the Earth’s surface as vegetation allows with varying airspeed and altitudes.
Skids or wheels up to 25ft AHO (NVGs)
The 2 main types of aerial checkpoints are?
Air Control Point (ACP) - Easily identifiable point on terrain or electronic NAVAID; Generally designated where route makes a definite change in direction
Contact Point (CP) - Position where mission leader makes radio contact with air control agency
