Question 1

What is the definition of a ceiling?

Answer 1

Lowest layer that is at least BKN or OVC (not SCT, FEW)

Question 2

What does the DoD Internet NOTAM Distribution System (DINS) cover?

Answer 2

All military, domestic/civil, international, flight data centers

Question 3

What do “D” series notams cover?

Answer 3

The “D” indicates these NOTAMS are distant or nationwide-they are widely disseminated and meet the same basic requirments as DoD notams; may include enroute navaids, airports, facility data, services & procedures requireing wide dissimination

Question 4

What can you find in the FIH?

Answer 4

notam abbreviation codes, conversion tables, emergency procedures, lost comm

Question 5

Where can you find information on how to change a flight plan, change from VFR to IFR, give position reports, change arrival time?

Answer 5

inside back cover of the IFR supplement

Question 6

What information must you provide to air route traffic control center (ARTCC) when changing a flight plan for weather?

Answer 6

1-point where you start the divert
2-pt where and ETA the route will resume
3-whether you have airborne weather radar

Question 7

According to the 11-202, when must aircrew review airfield suitability and restrictions reports (ASRR)?

Answer 7

when planning other than volume training LOAs

Question 8

What is BAM data based on?

Answer 8

predictive bird avoidance model that uses the geogrpahic information system for analysis and correlation of bird habitat, migration, patters, and breeding characteristics combined with environmental and geospatial data to determine the average bird strike

Question 9

What is AHAS data based on?

Answer 9

Dynamic, near-real-time version of the BAM; continuously monitors/tracks bird activity using filtered NEXRAD weather radar output, NWS forecasts, migratory models, and BAM

Question 10

If you are cleared for a tactical overhead pattern, what kind of initial should you report?

Answer 10

3-5 mile initial

Question 11

Where do victor airways exist?

Answer 11

1200 feet AGL up to 17999 MSL in class E airspace

Question 12

Where do jet airways exist?

Answer 12

18000 MSL up to FL450

Question 13

Where can you find an aircrew suitability and restrictions report (ASRR)?

Answer 13

Internet access on a government computer (not hard copy or by phone)

Question 14

What is the difference between a rate and range climb?

Answer 14

Rate- used when you want to minimize the time in the climb to the cruise altitude- use MCT to climb at 220 KIAS
Range-used when min climb range and fuel are not required; it results in a longer time to climb and greater fuel burn

Question 15

What is the single-engine climb speed?

Answer 15

170 kias

Question 16

What is best endurance?

Answer 16

the speed to fly to minimize fuel flow in level flight

Question 17

what is max range versus long range?

Answer 17

max range is the speed that maximizes the nautical air miles the aircraft can travel for every pound of fuel burned. long range is the speed that provides 99 % of max range-this speed allows a higher cruise airspeed but still attains nearly maximum fuel economy

Question 18

What is the definition of specific range?

Answer 18

nautical air miles per pound of fuel

Question 19

what is the definition of maximum endurance?

Answer 19

loiter time available at the optimum combination of altitude and airspeed that attains the longest endurance time.
