Q

When does radar services commence and end ?

A

Commence: “Radar contact”
Ends: “Radar service terminated” / “Radar contact lost”

Automatically ends when:
- A/C has landed from approach
- A/C has landed visual
- Told to change freq.
- IFR is cancelled (expect in B & C airspace)

20
Q

Position report radio calls
(compulsary and non compulsary)

A

PTA (Without compulsary) :
Position, Time, Altitude
PTAPTP (Compulsary) :
Position, Time, Altitude, Point (next compulsary) & Time ETA + (if compulsary the proceeding:) Point

Time: ZULU

Need to report 3 points if from where you are at, the next two points are compulsary. If the last point isn’t compulsary you ommit the last “p”

21
Q

When should you (additionally) report when IFR

A
  • New altitudes
  • Altitude changes when VFR on top
  • Unable to climb and descend at 500 FPM rate
  • When an approach is missed ( and what you request )
  • Change in average TAS reported in flightplan
  • Time + ALT when reaching holding fix/point
  • Leaving assigned holding fix/point
  • Safety of flight
  • If in controlled airspace, loss of low freq. NAV receiver capabilities
  • Hazardous non forecasted WX
22
Q

Additional reports when not in radar contact

A
  • FAF (NPA) + Outer marker (PA)
  • Corrected time if estimate is more than 2 minutes off
23
Q

Initial Steps when experiencing lost coms ?

A

Check radios, try another radio, CO pilot try, go to last freq, Attempt EMER freq., Transponder 7600, turn up NAVAIDS

ATC see 7600 - They will try to talk over NAVAIDS

24
Q

Lost coms procedure if you obtain and encounter VMC

A

STAY VMC
- Fly VFR rules
- Land as soon as practicable (not first field)
- Notify ATC (So they know where we are, and that we are safe)

25
Q

Lost coms procedure if you can’t obtain VMC ?
( Lost coms IMC conditions )

A

Route:
Assigned
Vectored
(DCT to fix we were being vectored for in clearance, eg. Cleared IAF ILS RW06)
Expected
(Did ATC give us a route to expect beyond a fix)
Filed
(No expected - then fly route we filled for)

Altitude:
Minimum IFR
Expected
Assigned
! Whichever is heighest

AVEF = ORDER of priority

26
Q

Lost coms IMC - When should you begin descent to app ?

Clearance limit is a fix (from where an approach begins)

A
  1. As close as possible to EFC if recieved
  2. If not then as close as possible to ETA
    (filed or amended ETA - if holding ect.)

Early = hold / Late = proceed

27
Q

Lost coms IMC / When should you begine descent to app

Clearance limit is NOT a fix from which app begins

A
  1. Leave limit at EFC if recieved
    **If no EFC recieved **
  2. Proceed to a fix from which an approach begins and commence descent and approach as close to ETA (calculates from flightplan/ammended)
28
Q

If you have gotten an “Expect to hold at XX-fix” without a “Cleared for + EFC” What do you do when you get to the fix LOST COM

A

Continue - we are not cleared for the holding

29
Q

LOST COMS:
How to select approach fix ?

if more than one

A

The one most appropriate for the situation ( ATC protects them all )

30
Q

LOST COMS
Proceeding to the alternate

A
  1. MAP
  2. TO MAP holding = 1 pattern
  3. The most direct reasonable routing to the IAF at alternate
  4. Use MEA appropriate for route
    (not the minimum,expected,assigned - we dont have any)
31
Q

Why do we default to minimum altimeter setting during lost coms ?

A

So we’ll never be lower than we think but maybe a little higher

32
Q

How do you calculate climb rate with the E6B ?

A

Big arrow: GS
Inner ring: climb rate/NM
Outer ring: climb rate FPM

GS: 60 kts 
Climb rate per/nm to hold: 200 feet 
Climbrate in the cockpit: **200 FPM**
33
Q

Explain the 1-3-6 rule

A

1. Can you file your flightplan ?
Destination wx must be equal to or greater than the planning minimums for the approach ETA+1 hour (predominant wx)

3. Do you need an alternate?
You need an alternate if:
NAVAIDS are unmt
Radar is required
Predominant wx isn’t 400’ and 1 SM higher than the planning minimums for the approach

6. Can you use an approach/airfield as an alternate?
Navaids can’t be unmt
Radar can’t be required
Planning with the worst forecasted WX
has to be 400’ & 1 SM above minimums for approach
GPS can be used on both dest. and alternate but only because of the TSP145/6 WAAS (!)
Approach can’t be A/NA
Surface controlled airspace must be active

(!) plan circling/RNAV minimums

“3” and “6” can be affected by the VFR exception rule

34
Q

What must you do if using MEF for safe altitude selection ?

A

Add 1000/2000’ as appropriate

35
Q

What is the MIA ?

A

Minimum IFR altitude
Provides obstacle clearance but not NAVAID reception
Altitudes are published on aeronautical charts.

If no MIA is posted: 
4 NM each side of course, highest obstacle + 1000/2000 ft
36
Q

What must you tell when contacting an ATC, in flight, and not in radar contact

A

Position
Altitude
Time and name of next compulsory reporting point

37
Q

How do you report position at a fix:
1. When the next point is NOT compulsory
2. When the next point is compulsory

A
  1. P-T-A ( Position, time, altitude)
  2. P-T-A-P-T-P (Position, time, altitude, Point (next compulsory), time ETA, point ( only if the second proceeding point is also compulsory )
38
Q

When is a reporting point compulsory ?

A
  1. When it’s fully filled out
  2. When ATC tells you to report
  3. When it’s at the start or end of a direct leg
39
Q

LOST COMS

What 3 ways can you hold at fix (which is your clearance limit) from where an approach begin

A

1) Arrival holding pattern
2) Holding pattern in lieu of procedure turn
3) On the final approach course on the procedure turn side (protected airspace)

40
Q

LOST COMS

How do you select an approach ?

A

You may select any one of them - ATC will protect airspace at all approaches

41
Q

LOST COMS

Flying a missed approach (lost COMS) - which altitude and route should you select ?

A
  • MEA - You dont have an assigned or expected
    -The most direct, reasonable routing to the IAF of the alternate
42
Q

What type of frequency is 132.15 and who does it connect to ?

A

It’s a UHF discrete frequency (!)
Connects to NEW YORK ARTCC

ARTCC: Air route trafic control center

(!) Dicrete frequencies are seperate radio frequencies to reduce congestion

43
Q

In which DOD flip can you find a conversion tables for fuel ?

A

FIH

Has information that isn’t subject to change

44
Q

In which DOD flip can you find LOST COMS procedures ?

A

FIH

45
Q

You are flying the circling approach, it’s a VOR approach, reported weather is 800’ cealing and 1 SM visibility.

you are shooting the approach in your UH 72 helicopter, flying at 2000’, 100 KIAS, inbound.

How much can you reduce the visibility?

A

You can’t.
you are CAT B when flying 100 KIAS.

46
Q

What do you call when making your initial call to an ATC when in radar contact ?

A

Your altitude

47
Q

Can a feeder route be MIA ?

A

YES
