general information (107 cards)
when is minimum fuel declared?
when the estimated usable fuel at the point of landing will be 200lbs or less
when will emergency fuel be declared?
when the estimated fuel at the point of landing will be 120 lbs or less
what is the minimum runway length for duel operations?
4,000 feet for a pressure altitude up to 5,000 ft
what is the minimum runway length for solo operations?
5,000 ft
if the runway is above 3,500 PA, what is the minimum runway length?
whatever the takeoff/told data says or 5,000 ft, whichever is larger
all maneuvers must be recovered by what altitude?
6,000 ft AGL
all spins and OCF must be recovered by what altitude?
10,000 ft MSL
Solos are prohibited from practicing what?
emergencies and emergency landing patterns
are you allowed to take pictures while you fly?
No unless you have approval from the wing commander. If you are authorized, a NATOPS qualified pilot has to be at the controls while you take pictures
unless an emergency exists, what airfields are unauthorized?
atmore camden chatom dauphin island foley peter prince
are breaks authorized in uncontrolled field?
only if there are no civilian aircraft operating in the area and you must state your intentions over the CTAF. Be sure to use your TCAS and visual scans to make sure that you do not see any other aircraft
are you allowed to practice precautionary emergency landings at uncontrolled fields?
yes, but note that civilians may not know the procedure for a PEL, therefore you have to make your calls more descriptive
on a solo flight, what are the wind limitations?
10kts crosswind component
no tailwind component
what are the flap settings allowed on a solo flight?
solos are restricted to full flap or takeoff flap settings unless there is an emergency/flap malfunction that requires a no flap landing
no aircraft may operate with surface winds greater than how much unless approved by CTW-5? Why?
25 kts because there is an increased risk of injury or death during the parachute landing fall if you were to eject
What is required for OCF and aerobatic maneuvers?
it must be conducted under day VMC conditions, with a visible horizon. Although OCF (spins too) may be conducted over an undercast cloud as long as it does not exceed 4,500’ AGL
Can aircraft operate under a sigmet at night?
no
can aircraft operate under a SIGMET during the day?
no, unless the flight can be safely conducted and the weather is hatched out by a qualified forecaster, VMC can be maintained and significant cells avoided, and the pilot feels safe doing so
what are the student solo weather minimums for contacts?
Only VFR departures and 5,000 ft
what are the student solo weather minimums for formation flights?
3,000 ft and VFR departure only
All student solo sorties shall be on deck by what time?
30 minutes prior to sunset
If an aircraft is operating under VFR, but cannot maintain VMC conditions, what must the pilot do?
the aircraft is now under distress. the aircraft will fly above maximum elevation figure, squawk 7700, and contact ATC on guard
are you allowed to place items on the canopy transparencies?
no, in order to reduce the amount of scratches on the transparency
All simulated emergencies must be prefaced with what word?
“simulated”
