BWS Torture List Flashcards
(98 cards)
What are the steps for tactical flight mission planning?
Mission (analyze) Map and photo recon Modes of flight selection Routes (primary and alternate) Determine TDS Fuel required for mission Weather briefing Risk assessment Crew briefing (MMMRDFWRC)
What are the hazards to terrain flight?
Meterological (winds, sun/moon, turbulence, visibility)
Physical (natural vs. man-made)
Human (attitude and physical conditioning)
What are the 6 types of wires?
- Power
- Guy
- Commo
- Booby traps
- Fences
- Tow
What is the definition of dynamic rollover?
A helicopter’s susceptibility to a lateral-rolling tendency, occurs when three conditions are present: Pivot point, Rolling motion, and exceeding the critical angle of rollover.
What are the 7 critical factors that reduce the critical angle?
- Main rotor thrust
- Tail rotor thrust
- Center of gravity
- Sloped landing area
- Ground surface
- Low fuel conditions
- Crosswind component
(MTCSGLC)
What is the maximum slope limit?
8 Degrees. Caution should be used on slopes above 5 degrees due to Rigging, Loading, Terrain, and wind (RLTW).
What are the 5 factors that influence dynamic rollover?
- Right skid acting as a pivot point
- Right asymmetrical loading
- Left crosswinds
- Left pedal inputs
- High roll rates
What are the human factors for dynamic rollover?
Failure to make timely corrective actions Loss of visual reference Inattention Inexperience Inappropriate control inputs (FLIII)
What are the IIMC steps per the ATM?
Announce IIMC Attitude Heading (announce) Torque (announce) Airspeed (announce) Trim Transponder (AAHTATT)
What are the IIMC steps per the SOP?
Climb to 3500’ MSL
Contact Cairns ARAC
If unable to reach Cairns, climb to 5000’ and contact Atlanta or Jacksonville center
Give ID, A/C type, IIMC and intentions
Give position, heading, altitude, POB, and FOB in hours and minutes
What are the 3 callouts for IIMC?
- Heading
- Airspeed
- Torque
(HAT)
What is the definition of Visual Search/ Aerial Observation?
A systematic visual coverage of a given area so that all parts of the area are observed. Purpose is to detect objects or activities on the ground.
What are the standards of Aerial Observation?
Detect Identify Locate Report (DILR)
What are the factors that affect Aerial Observation?
Weather Altitude Airspeed Terrain Cues Human Factors (WAATCH)
What are the cues to Aerial Observation?
Movement Color Light Obvious Sightings Smoke and Dust Shadows and Shapes Trails Texture Heat (MCLOSSTTH)
What are the techniques to Aerial Observation?
Motive
Stationary
How do you perform the 2 techniques of Aerial Observation?
Motive - 10 Knots or greater, conducted during terrain flight altitudes. A sector scan consisting of the observational side of the helicopter (non-observational is what you cannot see). The observational side is made up of the Acquisition and Recognition sectors.
Stationary - Conducted at NOE altitudes from a hover when in cover and concealment. Done in 50 meter increments outward from the helicopter.
What are the 4 means of detection by the enemy?
- Visual
- Optical
- Thermal
- Electronic
(VOTE)
What is the format of a SPOT report?
Size Activity Location Uniform Time Equipment (SALUTE) Aviation uses SALT-W, with the "W" standing for "What you are doing about it."
Elements of Wind Recognition?
Ground cues
Aircraft cues
Forecasted vs. Observed
(GAF)
What are the Fundamentals of Recon?
Gain and maintain enemy contact Orient on the recon objective Report rapidly and accurately Retain freedom of maneuver Develop the situation rapidly Do not keep recon forces in reserve Ensure continuous recon (GORRDDE)
What are the steps for Actions on Contact?
Deploy to cover
Maintain enemy contact
Develop the situation
Choose a course of action
What are the Courses of Action for Actions on Contact?
Hasty attack
Hasty screen/defense
Bypass
Target handover
What are the steps for Target Handover?
Alert and target description Target Location Method of attack Execution Post attack/engagement actions
