78
Q

What’s a “airport surface hot spot” ?

1: Standard turn 3º/s
2: 30º

230 KIAS

82
Q

ATC clearance for a charted holding pattern will include:

A
  1. A/C ID
  2. Charted holding direction from fix
    (eg. NE of SKIBBO intersextion)
  3. Statement “As published”
  4. EFC time

expected further clearance

83
Q

ATC clearance for a holding pattern that’s NOT charted will include:

A
  1. A/C ID
  2. Charted holding direction from fix
    (eg. NE of SKIBBO intersextion)
  3. Name of holding fix
  4. Holding radial, course, bearing..
  5. Leg length in time or dist
  6. Direction of turns
  7. EFC time
84
Q

What is “alternate minimums” and do army aviators have to comply ?

A

When the symbol is present on the approach plate it means that non-std. IFR minimums exsist and the “IFT alternate airport minimums” section in the TPP needs to be refrenced

Army aviators do not have to comply with the WX - but have to look because other information May be mandatory

85
Q

What does this mean when present in the approach plate ?

A

Can not be used as an alternate
That the alternate minimums are not authorized due to unmt facility og absence of weather reporting

86
Q

Can army aviators land on a
“land and hold short of” clearance ?

A

No
They need a “to the numbers” clearance

87
Q

Where can you find approach lighting information

Which pub

A

TPP not TLA

88
Q

What is this ?

A

The final approach course

89
Q

What is this ?

A

Radar minimums
PAR = Precision approach radar
An approach with no navigation indications in the cockpit, but following ATC instructions. Look up DH ect. in the radar instrument approach minimums section of the TPP

Good for emergencies

90
Q

What are these and how should we use them?

A

Obstacles (man made)
Consider them when determining when to descent from MDA

91
Q

Which type of approaches uses:
HAT
HAA
HAL

A

HAT (Height above touchdown)
Instrument approaches - straight in
HAA (Height above airport)
Used during circling approaches
HAL (Height above landing area)
USed during Copter approaches

92
Q

What is the difference between the numbers in the red-blue-green box

A

Red: DA+visability RVR
Blue: Touch down elevation (HAT) DA-RW elevation
Green: Weather minimums for planning (alternate need wx = + 400’ & +1 SM of numbers in the green box)

We don’t use RVR bc. we can initiate an approach no matter vis. & ceil.

93
Q

What is a “STAR”

A

Standard terminal arrival
A publushed route that provide transition from enroute to a outer fix in the terminal area

94
Q

Does all approach plates have airport sketches/diagrams ?

A

They all have a sketch, but not all have a diagram

95
Q

What’s a step down fix ?

A

A point at which you can descent to a lower MDA/DA if you fix the point

96
Q

Can other IFR WX takeoff minimums then “100’ + 1/4 SM” exist ?

A

Yes, look up in the TPP

97
Q

What are the options for departure (IFR)

A

-Diverse departure
-ODP
-SID
-Radar vectoring
-ATC specified departure instructions
-VFR departure (into IFR)

98
Q

If an airfield have IAP will they also have DP’s ?

A

Yes

99
Q

How do you perform a diverse departure ?

(From an airfield with atleast one IAP)

A

Maintain RW heading after T/O
No turns until 400’ AGL
Maintain a minimum climb rate of 200 FPNM

100
Q

When will an ODP be published ?

A

When an obstacle penetrate above the climb out clearance for the diverse departure

101
Q

Can a ODP be flown without an ATC clearance ?

A

Yes - if no SID has been specifically assigned to you by ATC

102
Q

What does this mean when on the IAP chart ?

A

Entry is made in the T/O minimum, ODP, radar vector section of the TPP

103
Q

____ critria is utilized to enter into a SID unless an ____ is published for the specific departure point. In cases such as this the ____ will be inclouded in the SID route desciption.

A

Diverse departure critria is utilized to enter into a SID unless an ODP is published for the specific departure point. In cases such as this the ODP will be included in the SID route desciption.

104
Q

Which departure procedure is always found in graphic form ?

A

SID

105
Q

Do you always know before T/O if the departure is to be vectored ?

A

Yes

Also receive instructions to reach minimum vectoring altitude

106
Q

When can departure start vectoring you ?

A

When they have “radar contact” with you a/c

107
Q

When is VFR departures (on a IFR flight plan) used ?

A

When the airfield has no IAP published and VMC exist

108
Q

What must the pilot do when performing VFR departure on an IFR flight plan ?

A
