What is the difference between PMSV and Metro stations?
They’re the same thing
Level Flight Speeds
Max Endurance:
Lowest Fuel Flow speed
Diamond symbol on AoA
(Remember: Diamonds are Forever)
Level Flight Speeds
Max Range:
Best MPG speed
Triangle symbol on AoA
(Remember: Triangle is the symbol for targets, and your Target Airspeed for cruising is 99% of Max Range but you still use the Triangle of the AoA)
Level Flight Speeds
Long Range:
99% of best MPG speed
aka LRC (long Range Cruise)
Checkist Tab Data based on LRC speed & FF
LRC is appropriate speed to fly during cruise
From the review slides

Define DEAD RECKONING
Navigation by means of wind corrected headings and groundspeeds based on time, airspeed, and direction
Define PILOTAGE
Navigation by reference to landmarks or checkpoints such as towns, rivers, lakes, airfields, etc.
BINGO
“Bingo fuel is needed from the most distant point on the route to the recovery airfield. Bingo fuel is calculated for the most practical means of recovery (route and altitude).”
JOKER
“Fuel state above BINGO at which separation, BUGOUT, or event termination should begin.” AFTTP 3-2.5
When flying in ATC airspace, when are you allowed to exceed 250 KIAS?
When the -1 requires you to
AND
ATC authorizes it
