C-17 IRC MQF Flashcards
Performance instruments:
Indicate actual aircraft performance
Pilots or other crew members who can modify the cockpit display configuration must ensure primary flight instrumentation is always present. Primary flight instrumentation must provide:
(All of the above)
An immediate discernible attitude recognition capability and unusual attitude recovery capability
Full-time attitude, altitude, and airspeed information
Complete fault indications
Which statement concerning unusual attitudes is correct?
Prior to initiating unusual attitude recovery on the attitude indicator, verify that an unusual attitude exists
The TO-FROM indicator on the course indicator:
Is not affected by the aircraft heading
(Backcourse Loc question, figure 6)
.
If there is a malfunction of the compass system or compass card, the VOR or TACAN bearing pointers:
Must be considered unreliable until verified

VOR and VOR/DME station passage occurs:
When the TO-FROM indicator makes the first positive change to FROM
Which statement is correct concerning station passage?
(Both A and B are correct)
With VOR and VOR/DME, station passage occurs when the TO-FROM indicator makes the first positive change to FROM
With TACAN, station passage is determined when the range indicator stops decreasing

Required Navigational Performance Type (RNP Type) is a value stating the actual position of the aircraft for at least 95 percent of the total flying time from the intended position of that aircraft. This must remain within value is typically expressed in:
Nautical miles
After setting the reported altimeter setting, the maximum error allowed when comparing the indicated altitude to the elevation of a known ground checkpoint is:
75 feet
Cold weather altimeter corrections are designed to adjust published instrument approach procedure altitudes to ensure adequate obstacle clearance. This adjustment becomes important in temperatures lower than standard since:
The aircraft’s altitude is below the figure indicated by the altimeter
MAJCOMS allowing aircraft to fly an instrument approach procedure using a lower category must publish procedures to ensure that aircraft do not exceed:
TERPS airspace for the IAP being flown to include circling and missed approach
An aircraft can fly an IAP:
Only for its own category or higher unless authorized by MAJCOM directives
Figure 39…
.
The NAVAIDS which appear in the name of an IAP:
Are those that provide the final approach guidance
If an IAF is displayed on an IAP by name only (no defining NAVAID and radial/DME):
Refer to the appropriate Enrique and terminal charts for the area and for this information

.
If you are required to fly a circling approach which does not have a published ceiling, you can determine the required ceiling using which of the following methods:
Add 100 feet to the HAA and then round up to the next one hundred foot value
Figure 40…
.
The maximum allowable CDI error when checking the the VOR or TACAN at a designated ground checkpoint is:
+/- 4 degrees
When checking the TACAN at a designated ground checkpoint, the allowable error is:
(Both A and B)
1/2 mile or 3 percent of the distance to facility, whichever is greater
+/- 4
If the aircraft is equipped with dual VOR or dual TACAN receivers, the systems are considered reliable:
(Both A and B)
If each checks within +/- 4 degrees of the designated ground checkpoint
If they check within +/- 4 degrees of each other
Which of the following statement concerning IFR departure procedures is/are correct?
(Both A and B are correct)
USAF aircraft are authorized to use non-standard takeoff weather minimums to “see and avoid” only if specific MAJCOM instructions exist
USAF aircraft are not authorized to create their own “see and avoid” weather minimums in lieu of meeting the required minimum climb gradients
TERPS specialists are not allowed to publish climb gradients to heights of 200 feet or less. Which of the following statements is/are true regarding these low, close-in obstacles?
(Both A and B are true)
TERPS specialists will publish a NOTE informing you of the height and obstacle location
You must ensure you can clear these obstacles in climbout planning because there is no minimum climb gradient published for them
While flying any type of IFR departure procedure, USAF aircraft are required to meet or exceed a climb gradient of at least
200 feet per NM unless a higher climb gradient is published
Unless a higher gradient is published, USAF aircraft are required to meet or exceed ______ on all IFR departures.
200 ft/NM

.
Air Force pilots flying SIDs in the United States must
(Both A and B)
Plan to cross the DER at least 35’ AGL for SIDS produced by the US Army
Plan to cross the DER at least 35’ AGL for SIDS produced by the FAA
Basic rules for all IFR departures include which of the following statements?
(All of the above)
Delay all turns until 400’ above rwy end elevation unless an early turn is specifically required by the departure procedure
Climb at a rate of 200’ minimum unless higher is specified
USAF aircraft must always meet or exceed the published climb gradient for the rwy used
Control Instruments:
(Both A and B)
Display attitude and Power
Are calibrated to permit definite adjustments to attitude and (or) power
