FF108 Flashcards
When must you normally proceed straight through initial and NOT execute a break?
a. Reach end of the break zone and have:
1) Insufficient spacing with aircraft on inside downwind
2) Aircraft on straight-in between 5 and 2 miles
3) Aircraft on ELP between high key and low key
b. If you must proceed straight through initial, turn crosswind at departure end or as
directed locally
Your goal at final turn roll out is to be on the extended runway centerline, approximately ______ mile from the runway approximately ______ feet above the ground?
1/2 NM from the runway; 150 - 200
What factors would preclude you from requesting a closed pattern?
a. Straight-in between 5 and 2 miles
b. Aircraft on initial
c. Spacing with aircraft on closed downwind
d. ELP between “request high key” (depending on local procedures) and “low key”
During a straight-in, when do you make your gear down radio call?
At the 2 NM point
True or false? A go-around can be initiated by the pilot or directed by the runway controller
True
Normally, what is the breakout altitude?
500 to 1000 feet above normal traffic pattern altitude
Where is the entry point for the 360° overhead pattern?
Initial
When do you perform the Before Landing Check?
On downwind. Also, maintain level flight and 120 KIAS.
In the turn to final for the Navy pattern, plan your bank angle for ______.
15° to 20°, but never exceed 30° of bank
During the high-speed portion of the touchdown and rollout, how should directional control be maintained?
With the rudder (ailerons in a crosswind)
When can the wheel brakes be used for directional control?
Once the nose wheel is on the runway (below 80 KIAS)
What visual illusions might affect your landing/flare?
Runway width, Runway length, Runway slope, Terrain features
What is the purpose of the touch-and-go landing?
Allows landing practice without having to taxi back
How should the aircraft be positioned at touchdown in a crosswind landing?
Fuselage aligned with runway, Touchdown on upwind gear, Ailerons added as necessary to counter drift
For Air Force overhead traffic patterns, when do you lower the landing gear, and below what airspeed?
On inside downwind; 150 KIAS
