Chapter 6 Flashcards
When is the FENCE-in/-out check performed?
A FENCE check is performed when entering the military operations area (MOA) (FENCE-in) and again when leaving the MOA (FENCE-out).
When should you perform a G-awareness exercise?
Accomplish a G-awareness exercise on sorties that include maneuvers that require or may result in 3 or more Gs.
How do you perform a G-awareness exercise?
Level, slightly descending turn with MAX power - 200-220 KIAS. Increase Gs to approximately 4 Gs and maintain approximately 4 or 5 breathing cycles.
Should the G-awareness ever be more than 4 Gs?
Yes, for advanced aerobatics and formation training, the Gx should be flown to G loads of 4 to 5 Gs
What is energy trade?
50 KIAS for 1,000’ with PCL to max
Altitude for airspeed - canopy bow on horizon
Airspeed for altitude - clock on the horizon
What is the optimum energy level for aerobatic maneuvers?
180-200 KIAS at an altitude midway in the area (between top and bottom)
Which maneuvers are energy gaining?
Power-on stalls, nose-high recovery, stability demonstration, and Chandelle.
Which maneuvers are energy losers?
Spin, traffic pattern stalls, cloverleaf, split-S, nose-low recovery ELP stalls, and high G turns with lower power settings.
Parameters for power-on stalls?
Airspeed. As required to achieve briefed entry parameters.
Power. Entry: 30 to 60 percent torque. Recovery: MAX.
Pitch. Entry: 15 to 40 degrees NH.
Bank. 0 degrees for straight-ahead stall, 20 to 30 degrees for a turning stall.
FCP Visual Reference, Entry. Crook of front windscreen on horizon.
FCP Visual Reference, Recovery. Initially firelight on horizon, then as required to MAX perform aircraft.
What is the approximately altitude loss when performing the glide to high key stall in the ELP stall series?
~ 300’
What is the approximately altitude loss when performing the glide from high key to low key in the ELP stall series?
~ 800’
What is the approximately altitude loss when performing the glide from low key to runway in the ELP stall series?
~ 900’
Parameters for slow flight?
Airspeed: Flaps landing, 80 to 85 KIAS; Flaps TO, 85 to 90 KIAS; Flaps UP, 90 to -95 KIAS.
Gear: Down
Flaps: As desired
Under slow flight, which maneuvers can you perform? (SCATSAFE)
S - Straight and Level C – Coordination Exercise A - Adverse Yaw T - Torque and Turns S - Steep Turns A - Abrupt Control Movement F - Flap Retraction E – Effectiveness of Controls
Parameters for the stability demo?
Airspeeds. Entry, 160 KIAS; recovery, 80 KIAS or stick shaker.
Power. Entry, 60 percent torque; recovery, idle.
Attitude. Raise the nose to 40 to 45 degrees pitch attitude wings level.
Altitude Required. 2,000 feet above entry.
Recover. Select idle power and neutralize controls, avoid 0 +/- 0.25 Gs.
