FF104

Question 1

You receive the following ATC departure instructions when you call for clearance prior to takeoff:
“Navy 452 cleared as filed. Maintain 10,000. On departure fly runway heading until passing 1000, then turn left to heading 210° to intercept the Corpus Christi 184° radial. Cross LOCOE intersection at or above 8000. Departure Control frequency will be 307.9. Squawk 5471.”
Based on these instructions, when do you stop flying heading 210°?

Answer 1

When intercepting the Corpus Christi 184° radial

Question 2

Review the departure instructions again.
“Navy 452 cleared as filed. Maintain 10,000. On departure fly runway heading until passing 1000, then turn left to heading 210° to intercept the Corpus Christi 184° radial. Cross LOCOE intersection at or above 8000. Departure Control frequency will be 307.9; squawk 5471.”
If your aircraft was not capable of climbing to 8000 feet or above by LOCOE intersection what should you do?

Answer 2

Inform the controller

Question 3

When you are flying a VFR departure, what is your primary reference to maintain your departure
ground track?

Answer 3

Ground points

Question 4

A VFR departure routing may have either formal instructions or be developed by the pilot flying the
aircraft.

Answer 4

True

Question 5

General procedures for all departures includes what?

Answer 5

Receiving and understanding departure instructions

Resolving questions and aircraft limitations

Adhering to departure instructions

Question 6

In the T-6A what is the climb airspeed, and what is it used for?

Answer 6

160 KIAS

To provide a good rate of climb and improved forward visibility

Question 7

In the T-6A what type of climb will you normally use?

Answer 7

Constant airspeed climb at 160 KIAS

Question 8

What is the correct procedure for performing a climb to altitude after takeoff?

Answer 8

Hold the takeoff attitude, accelerate to 160 KIAS and adjust pitch attitude slightly to maintain
airspeed.

Question 9

If you notice the airspeed is 5 knots fast, what pitch adjustment should you make to correct back to 160 KIAS?

Answer 9

Raise the nose slightly

Question 10

During a normal climb, you notice the airspeed is 155 KIAS. What corrections should you make to correct back to 160 KIAS?

Answer 10

Lower the nose slightly

Question 11

Because of the loss of vertical lift in a climbing turn, what procedures should you follow if you must turn in a climb?

Answer 11

Use shallow-bank (

Question 12

In the T-6A the best rate of climb airspeed is?

Answer 12

140 KIAS

Question 13

You are taxiing to depart on Runway 31C at Laughlin AFB and receive the following ATC departure instructions:
“Texan 23 is cleared as filed. Maintain FL 240. On departure fly runway heading until passing 2000 feet, then turn right to heading 070° to intercept the Laughlin 023° radial direct to Rocksprings. Cross Rocksprings NAVAID at or above FL 240. Departure Control Frequency will be 264.8; Squawk 5130.”

Based on these instructions when do you stop flying heading 070°?

Answer 13

Intercepting the Laughlin 023° radial

Question 14

What is the correct procedure for initiating a climb from a cruise airspeed above 160 KIAS?

Answer 14

Simultaneously increase the power to maximum and the pitch to above the normal climb pitch picture until the airspeed bleeds off to 160 KIAS then lower the pitch to maintain speed.

Question 15

In the T-6A what type of climb will you normally use?

Answer 15

Constant airspeed climb of 160 KIAS

Question 16

When you are flying a VFR departure, what is your primary reference to maintain your departure ground track?

Answer 16

Ground points

Question 17

When you roll into a turn, what happens to (vertical) lift as you increase bank?

Answer 17

It decreases (horizontal lift increases)

Question 18

What are two types of departures?

Answer 18

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Departure

Visual Flight Rules (VFR) Departure

Question 19

When would you fly an IFR Departure?

Answer 19

In instrument flight conditions IMC

Question 20

What does a line below an altitude indicate?

Answer 20

If there is a line below a number as shown in the example, then the number signifies a minimum altitude. You must be at or above that altitude.

Question 21

What does a line above an altitude indicate?

Answer 21

A line above the number indicates a maximum altitude. You must be at or below that altitude.

Question 22

What does lines below and above an altitude indicate?

Answer 22

Lines above and below define a mandatory altitude, and indicate that you must be at that specified altitude.

Question 23

What does numbers without any lines indicate?

Answer 23

Numbers without any lines are considered recommended altitudes.

Question 24

An initial pitch attitude of approximately what will maintain 160 KIAS after T/O?

Answer 24

10°-12°

Question 25

What is a good pitch picture for the best rate of climb airspeed of 140 KIAS?

Answer 25

Use approximately 14° nose up pitch with maximum power.

a good visual reference is to place the horizon on the bottom of the standby magnetic compass scale.
