22
Q

How do you calculate aircraft approach category?

A

Your stall speed times 1.3, or your stall speed in the landing configuration times 1.23

23
Q

What is the speed ranges in KIAS for a Cat B aircraft?

A

91-120

24
Q

What is the speed ranges in KIAS for a Cat C aircraft?

A

121-140

25
Q

What must you do if it is necessary to maneuver at a speed exceeding the upper limit of the speed range for an aircraft category?

A

You must use the minimums for the higher category unless otherwise authorized by AFI or MAJCOM directive

26
Q

What type of Alerts are mandatory from ATC and are provided to all aircrafts?

A

Safety alerts

27
Q

IFR operations are not permitted in uncontrolled airspace (T/F)?

A

False, they are permitted

28
Q

What type of airspace does ATC provide separation between aircraft?

A

Only controlled

29
Q

When overlapping airspace designations exists, what operating rules must you comply with?

A

The rules for the more restrictive airspace

30
Q

What is the minimum separation in RVSM?

A

1,000 ft vertically

31
Q

What is the separation standard between non-RSVM aircraft and all other aircraft?

A

2,000 ft

32
Q

What must be operational to fly in RSVM airspace?

A

transponder

33
Q

When within 1,000 ft of assigned altitudes, what should you limit your VSI to?

A

Less than 1500 FPM

34
Q

What are the emergency frequencies?

A

121.5 MHz and 243 MHz

35
Q

What is an FSS?

A

An air traffic facility which provides pre-flight briefings, flight plan processing, enroute flight advisories, search and rescue services, and assistance to lost aircraft and aircraft in emergency situations

36
Q

Where can you find the specific telephone number for the nearest FSS?

A

In the back of the Chart Supplement

37
Q

Where are the procedures found for filing a composite flight plan?

A

FLIP General Planning section 4

38
Q

What is a VFR-on-top clearance?

A

A pilot on an IFR flight plan may request this and select an altitude or FL of their choice (subject to ATC restrictions). You must must comply with visibility and distance from clouds restrictions and applicable IFR rules such as minimum altitudes, radio comms, and adherences to ATC clearances.

39
Q

What types of airspaces can special VFR be allowed in?

A

B, C, D, E

40
Q

What is Special VFR?

A

It allows aircraft to operate under VFR when the weather conditions are less than those required for VFR Flgiht

41
Q

If you are unable to maintain VFR, what should you do?

A

Immediately transition to instruments and coordinate an IFR clearance and cancel the VFR flight plan

42
Q

What are the 4 types of declared distances?

A
  1. Takeoff Run Available (TORA)
  2. Takeoff Distance Available (TODA)
  3. Accelerate-stop Distance Available (ASDA)
  4. Landing Distance Available (LDA)
43
Q

What is declared distances?

A

They represent the maximum distances available and suitable for meeting takeoff and landing distance performance requirements.

44
Q

Are operations bound by declared distances?

A

No, as long as the TOLD falls within the published distances

45
Q

What is QNH?

A

Your altitude in MSL

46
Q

What is QNE

A

Your altitude above the standard datum plane

47
Q

What is QFE

A

You altitude in AGL

48
Q

What is the transition altitude in the NAS?

A

18,000

49
Q

What should you do if the local altimeter setting is below 29.92?

A

Refer to the FIH section B

50
Q

Are aircraft normally assigned altitudes in the transition layer?

A

No

51
Q

What is the transition layer?

A

The layer between the transition altitude and the transition level

52
Q

If you have no means to obtain a local altimeter setting, what should you do?

A

Set the airfield elevation in the altimeter

53
Q

Is RVSM a special certification airspace?

A

Yes

54
Q

What must be done if a Non-RVSM aircraft wants to fly in RVSM airspace?

A
  1. Coordinate with ATC, permission is handled on a workload bases. Non RVSM and RVSM aircraft must be separated by 2000 ft
  2. Non-RVSM must have a working transponder
