Explanatory information about an operating procedure, practice, or condition etc., that must be emphasized.

Question 4

SHALL
SHOULD
MAY
WILL

Answer 4

Shall = mandatory
Should = Recommended
May = optional
Will = futurity (no degree of requirement)

Question 5

Land Immediately
Land as Soon as Possible
Land as Soon as Practicable

Answer 5

Land Immediately = execute a landing without delay

Land as Soon as Possible = land at the first site at which a safe landing can be made

Land as Soon as Practicable = extended flight is not recommended. The landing site and duration of flight are at the discretion of the pilot in command.

Question 6

What is the pilot in command responsible for?

Answer 6

The pilot in command is responsible for the safe, orderly flight of the aircraft and well-being of the crew.

Question 7

Can PIC be transferred in flight?

Answer 7

No. Additionally, the authority and responsibility of a pilot in command is independent of rank or seniority in relation to other persons participating in the mission or flight (except for two exceptions).

Question 8

What are the exceptions where someone other than the PIC can direct the flight?

Answer 8

-A Wing, Group, or Squadron Commander if embarked, retains full authority and responsibility regarding command, including the mission in which participating.

-A Flag or General Officer embarked who is eligible for command at sea or in the field can exercise authority over the flight, but thereby assumes full responsibility for the safe and orderly conduct of the flight.

Question 9

Can General or Flag Officers physically pilot the aircraft?

Answer 9

Only if they are NATOPS qualified in that TMS

Question 10

When does the PIC need to be at the flight controls?

Answer 10

During critical phases of flight (i.e. takeoff, landing, formation flight, FCF, degraded aircraft performance, etc).

An IUT in a multi-piloted aircraft can occupy the flight controls during critical phases of flight so long as the PIC is in the flight station.

5. Supervise

Question 13

What are the 3 levels of ORM

Answer 13

1. Time-critical
2. Deliberate
3. In-depth

Question 14

What are the 4 principles of ORM

Answer 14

1. Accept risk when benefits outweigh the costs
2. Accept no unnecessary risk
3. Anticipate and manage risk by planning.
4. Make risk decisions at the right level

Question 15

What are the IFR Filing Criteria for a destination with:

0-0 up to but not including published mins

Published mins up to but not including 3000-3

3000-3 or better

(These are based on ETA +-1 Hour)

Answer 15

3000-3 or better

Published mins plus 300-1 (Non-precision) or 200-1/2 (Precision)

No alternate required

(These are based on ETA +-1 Hour)

Question 16

If an alternate is required, when do you need a published approach that doesn’t require two way comms?

Answer 16

1. If the destination does not have approaches that can be done without two way comms
2. If the forecasted weather at the alternate is also below 3000-3 for ETA +-1 hour

Question 17

What is the fuel requirement if no alternate is required?

Answer 17

Fuel from takeoff to destination plus 10%

Question 18

What is the fuel requirement if an alternate is required?

Answer 18

Fuel from takeoff to approach fix at destination, then to alternate airfield, plus 10 percent

Question 19

For turbine-powered fixed-wing aircraft, what can the planned fuel reserve after landing at destination or alternate not be less than?

Answer 19

20 minutes of flight at max-E at 10,000’

Question 20

What is the designator for the weight and balance form?

Answer 20

DD 365-4 (Weight and Balance Clearance Form F - Transport/Tactical)

Question 21

How long must Form F’s be kept on file?

Answer 21

3 months

Question 22

Does cancellation of an IFR flight plan constitute the closing out of a flight plan?

Answer 22

No. When a landing report has been properly delivered, the flight plan will be considered closed out.

Question 23

When are standard position lights required to be on?

Answer 23

30 minutes before sunset to 30 minutes after sunrise, or any time when the prevailing visibility as seen from the cockpit is less than 3 statute miles

(In which case it is required before starting engines, or when any engine is running, while being towed unless it is otherwise illuminated, or when its parking location presents a hazard)

Question 24

When are anti-collision lights required?

Answer 24

Immediately before engine start and at all times when the aircraft engines are in operation

Question 25

What are the standard instrument rating takeoff minimums

Answer 25

300-1 (Non-Precision)
200-1/2 (Precision)

Question 26

Can you conduct an approach in a multi-piloted aircraft when weather is at or below published landing minimums?

Answer 26

Only is the aircraft has the capability to proceed to a suitable alternate in the event of a missed approach.
