Q

How does season affect terrain interpretation? (4- 45-51)

A

Summer - reduced recognition of objects by contrast, increased cover due to foliage

Winter - improved contrast and recognition of terrain features (reduced foliage), often more cloudy (reduced ambient light), heavy snow may offer concealment of terrain/man-made objects

A

Forward

36
Q

The amount of restraint required to keep cargo from moving in any direction is called __ and expressed in __ (2-49)

A

Restraint criteria, G’s

37
Q

Define prepared cargo (2-50)

A

Cargo carried in containers equipped with tie-down devices, or equipment with attached tie-down points

38
Q

Define miscellaneous cargo (2-50)

A

Cargo not in containers, or cargo without tie-down provisions

39
Q

To calculate tie-down requirements, you must know (2-54)

A
  • Weight of cargo - Restraint criteria - Strength of tie-downs used - % Effectiveness
40
Q

The formula to calculate number of tie-downs required is (2-55)

A

Weight of Load * Restraint Criteria ————————————————- Weakest Link * % Effectiveness

41
Q

The Army regulation regarding flight fundamentals is

A

AR 3.04-203

42
Q

What are the three modes of terrain flight? (5-10)

A
43
Q

Define Nap of the Earth (NoE) flight (5-11)

A

NOE flight is conducted at varying airspeeds as close to the earth’s surface as vegetation and
obstacles permit.

For NVG training, NOE flight is further defined as operating with the skids or wheels up
to 25 feet above trees and vegetation in the flight path.

44
Q

Define contour flight (5-12)

A

Contour flight is conducted at low altitudes conforming to the earth’s contours. It is characterized by relatively constant airspeeds and varying altitude as dictated by terrain and obstacles.

For NVG training, contour flight is further defined as operating with the skids or wheels between 25 and 80 feet above highest obstacle

45
Q

Define low level flight (5-13)

A

Aviators perform low-level flight at constant altitude and airspeed, dictated by threat avoidance.

For NVG training, low-level flight is further defined as operating with the skids or wheels between 80 and 200 feet above the highest obstacle
