FF106A/107 - Traffic Patterns and Landings Flashcards
You are flying up initial and are crabbing left 6º. Approximately how much crosswind is at pattern altitude?
18 knots
Normal altitude, airspeed, and power setting for the T-6 on initial are:
1000 feet AGL

The break is a 180º decelerating, level turn to downwind, normally performed between approach end and _____ feet down the runway.
3,000
In addition to inside downwind traffic conflicts, what other two situations will you not execute the break?
When there is an aircraft on a straight-in between 5 and 2 miles
When there is an aircraft flying an emergency landing pattern between the high key and low key pattern positions.
What is the appropriate radio call to maintain pattern altitude and turn crosswind at the departure end of the runway instead of the normal break point?
“Breakpoint straight through”
To ensure you have appropriate spacing to begin the break, where should the aircraft in front of you be?
Abeam you on inside downwind

On a go-around, climb to ____ feet AGL and accelerate to ____ KIAS
500 feet AGL
200 KIAS
What are the 3 appropriate points to request a “straight-in approach”?
Radar Entry
VFR Entry Point
Outside Downwind
What are the 4 points in the pattern where conflicts are most likely to occur?
VFR Entry Point
45 to Initial
Inside Downwind
Perch Point
If you recognize a conflict AFTER starting the final turn, what should you do?
Execute a go-around
Never attempt to break out once you have started the final turn
You held 7º of crab as you flew up initial. How much crab will you plan to hold on inside downwind?
14º
For a normal pattern, you should plan to roll out on final at ____ AGL, ____ NM from the runway.
150-200 AGL
1/2 mile
The airspeed for a normal final turn with LDG flaps is ____ KIAS.
110 KIAS flaps LDG
115 KIAS flaps TO
120 KIAS flaps UP
The minimum airspeed for beginning a closed pull up is ______ KIAS.
140 KIAS
After completing a go-around from the final turn, you will be at ____ feet AGL and ____ KIAS
500 feet AGL
200 KIAS
What is the maximum increase of final approach speed due to gusts?
10 knots
During the roundout, elevator back pressure is adjusted to maintain proper ________.
pitch attitude
What are the target touch down speeds for flaps LDG, TO, UP?
80 KIAS LDG
85 KIAS TO
90 KIAS UP
Increase landing speeds by ___ knots if landing with greater than 750 pounds total fuel remaining.
5 knots
During landing, when should the PCL be reduced to IDLE?
At or just before touchdown
A ______ than normal runway can cause you to flare too high or land short of the runway.
Wider
A _____ than normal runway can cause the approach to appear too high and the flare to be too late.
Narrower
What illusion can occur with shorter than normal runways?
Longer than normal runways?
If you are familiar with landing on long runways, you will tend to misjudge the distance to a short runway and think you are farther from the runway than you actually are.
If you are familiar with landing on short runways, you will tend to misjudge the distance to a long runway and think you are closer to the runway than you actually are.
A runway which slopes ______ from the approach end will make you think you are too high and thus cause you to flare too low.
upward
What are the 3 types of hydroplaning?
Dynamic - The aircraft tires ride on a layer of water on the runway
Viscous - Similar to dynamic, the tires ride on a film of oil, rubber deposits or other foreign matter.
Rubber Reversion - The tires ride on a layer of steam generated from burning rubber caused by a locked brake
During a go around, climb to ____ feet AGL and accelerate to ____ KIAS
500 feet AGL
200 KIAS
A wing walker must be used if obstacles are between ___ and ___ feet from the aircraft.
10-25 feet
A wide, short runway will cause a visual illusion which may cause a pilot to land ______.
short of the runway
What factors would prevent a closed pattern?
.
When do you lower the landing gear in the overhead pattern?
On inside downwind below 150 KIAS
What must be accomplished on inside downwind?
Call gear clear, maintain 150 to the perch
What is the final turn speed for the 3 configurations?
Flaps LDG - 110 KIAS
Flaps TO - 115 KIAS
Flaps UP - 120 KIAS
Final approach speed +10
How do you perform a breakout from an overhead pattern?
Climbing turn away from traffic. Maintain 200 KIAS to the VFR entry point
What is the normal breakout altitude?
TPA +500 to +1000
What distance from the runway will you normally begin descent on a 500ft AGL Straight-in?
1.25 miles
When can the wheel brakes be used for directional control?
Once the nose wheel is on the runway, below 80 KIAS
What are the 3 phases of landing?
Round-out, touchdown, landing roll
When is takeoff attitude established during a touch and go?
As soon as power is advanced
