Final Contact Flashcards
Land as soon as possible
An emergency shall be declared and a landing accomplished at the nearest suitable landing area considering the severity of the emergency, weather conditions, field facilities, ambient lighting, and command guidance
Land as soon as practical
Emergency conditions are less urgent and although the mission is to be terminated, the degree of the emergency is such that an immediate landing may not be necessary
Suitable landing area
A suitable landing area is a hard surface runway, taxiway, or under/overrun. Landing on an unprepared surface or ditching is not recommended
Do not attempt a battery ground start if voltage is below
23.5 V
Do not connect external power if battery voltage below
22.0 V
Generator In-flight amps
+50 to -2 amps
Generator Ground/In-flight voltage
28.0 to 28.5 Volts
Minimum battery voltage to charge the battery
25 V
Voltage readings
Low Caution: Amber text, 21.9 VDC and below
Normal: White text, 22.0 - 29.5 VDC
High Caution: Amber text, 29.6-32.2 VDC
Exceedance: Red text, 32.3 VDC and above
Due to gage tolerances, aircraft may be at 0 G with gage readings from
+- 0.25 G
Max Operation Speed
316 KIAS or 0.67 Mach (above 18,769’)
Turbulent Penetration
195 KIAS (Max), 180 KIAS (recommended)
Uncoordinated Rolling Maneuvers initiated at -1 G max bank angle change
180 degrees
Icing inhibitor
0.5 pints per 50 gallons of fuel
Engine operation using only the engine driven high pressure fuel pump
10 hours
Spins (OCF Recoveries must stop
3,000’ prior to clouds
Altitude restriction for Stalls/Slow Flight/Aerobatics
6,000’ AGL
ORM 3-2-1
Do not descend below 2000’ AGL unless you are On Profile with the Runway In Sight and you can Maneuver to Land
300’ AGL - Final Decision
200’ AGL - Gear Down
100’ AGL - On Centerline
Factors when selecting suitable airfield
- Distance to airfield
- Terrain around airfield
- RWY length, width, direction and condition
- WX
- Fire and Rescue support
- Emergency O2 and electrical power in the AC (glide time could exceed their limits)
- Threat to public if AC must be abandoned
High Key
3,000’ AGL, 120 KIAS, Gear Down, 1/3 down planned RWY, 1/4 WTD abeam or directly over intended point of landed, RWY heading, Wings level
Cross Key
2,200 to 2,300’ AGL, 120 KIAS, Gear Down, Halfway between HK to LK approximately perpendicular to the rwy
Low Key
1,500’ AGL, 120 KIAS, Gear Down and Flaps TO, 2/3 WTD abeam intended landing aimpoint (fuel cap on RWY)
Base Key
600-800’ AGL, 120 KIAS, Gear Down and Flaps LDG (as req), Halfway between LK and final
Final
110 KIAS, Gear Down and Flaps LDG (as req), plan for 1,000’ final prior to the intended point of TD
Solo Pattern
3,100 MSL/5 Miles
Inner Rings: Solos are limited to specific areas and can maintain visual references during Dep, Arr and area work
Formation only
Pattern Only
Dual Pattern
3,100’/3
Restricted Patterns
2,600’/3 or better, pattern entry from takeoff, straight-in or closed/crosswind from center. No breakouts, 8 jets in the pattern
Alternating Instruments
Wx is equal to or better than suitable approach minimums.
Simultaneous Instruments (GPS-B)
Better than 2,100’/3 but less than restricted
Do not takeoff until the preceding aircraft is
airborne or a minimum separation of 3,000’ exists
Do not cross the rwy threshold to land until preceding a/c are
airborne, clear of the rwy, or minimum separation of 3,000’ when using alternate sides, 6,000’ when not using alternate sides, behind dissimilar a/c, for tower controlled ops, when at night
