CO104 Flashcards
A MOA is _____________.
an airspace for military aircraft to perform maneuvers in the lateral, vertical, and horizontal planes.
MOAs, alert areas, and the working areas within them are typically defined by ___________ or ___________, and ___________.
VORTAC, radials, and DME, latitude and longitude coordinates, altitude in MSL (or flight levels for MOAs)
True or False. Alert areas blocks are normally from the surface up to and including FL180.
False. Cannot include FL180 b/c IFR flight is requires at there altitudes.
True or False. Civilian aircraft are not allowed to fly through an alert area.
False. “Alert” means you need to be alert of other traffic.
Potential energy is directly related to _________ while kinetic energy is directly related to ___________.
altitude, airspeed
Which aircraft had the highest TOTAL energy?
a. Altitude: 17,000 feet MSL, Airspeed: 120 KIAS
b. Altitude: 17,000 feet MSL, Airspeed: 150 KIAS
c. Altitude: 15,000 MSL, Airspeed: 120 KIAS
d. Altitude: 15,000 MSL Airspeed: 150 KIAS
b. Altitude: 17,000 feet MSL, Airspeed: 150 KIAS
Trading kinetic to potential energy is also called ________.
trading airspeed for altitude
Which condition results in the greatest energy loss?
4 G dive recovery at idle power
Using the energy trade rule and concept of equivalent energy levels, select the lowest total energy state.
a. 10,000 ft MSL and 110 KIAS
b. 9000 ft MSL and 150 KIAS
c. 7000 ft MSL and 200 KIAS
d. 6500 ft MSL and 250 KIAS
c. 7000 ft MSL and 200 KIAS
A maneuver that result in no net chance in energy level (energy state) is called ____________.
energy neutral
What is the working energy level for a MOA area which has a floor at 6000 feet MSL and a ceiling of 12,000 feet MSL?
9000 feet MSL/180-200 KIAS
What is the starting point for the area orientation decision process?
knowing where you are
What is the firs step you need to take in order to compensate for winds in your working area?
Know the winds at altitude for your area
Normally, the primary reference for area orientation within a working area is __________.
ground references near the geographical center of the area or identifiable landmarks on the borders or outside the area if central references are not available
True or False? An area profile and a mission profile are the same.
False
How much altitude is required to safely perform a spin recovery?
1000 feet above, 3500 feet below
