Day 6 - Traffic Patterns/Landings/Pattern Procedures Flashcards
Standard VASI lights have a __ to __ degree glide slope
2.5, 3
This intercepts a point generally __ feet beyond the runway threshold
750
Nonstandard VASI has a __ degree glide slope
3.5
This intercepts a point generally __ feet short of the runway threshold
450
When computing Vapp, subtract __ knots for every __ pound reduction of weight
2, 500
If you exceed 15 degrees AOB in the final turn you must
Add 10 knots to Vapp
Define touchdown speed
Vapp - 6 knots
For gusty wind procedures increase approach speed and touchdown speed by __ of the gust, not to exceed __ knots
50%, 10
Fly the base turn to arrive at a __ to __ mile final
1, 1.5
T/F - Normally select final flap configuration prior to perch point
TRUE
The break zone is between __ and __
approach end, 3000 feet
T/F - It is acceptable to begin configuring in the break
True (maintain AOB while flaps are configuring ~ so as to detect FLAP ASYM indications)
The minimum speed in the break is
160 KIAS
Minimum airspeed in the closed pullup is
160 KIAS
The normal landing zone for the T-1A is
500 to 2000 feet
