FWOP Flashcards
general information
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”
You are not allowed to depart KNSE with what kind of tires?
you are not allowed to depart with two tire cords exposed on the main gear, or any visible red cords
If you are at KNSE and you drop the ejection pin, what should you do?
-inform the other crew member immediately
-remain strapped in and minimize movements
notify maintenance on UHF 257.50 or through ground
-taxi to the parking line and avoid parking under a canopy
-shut down the engine
-wait for maintenance to come in with an auxiliary seat pin before opening the canopy
-open the canopy just enough to take the pin from maintenance
-close canopy and insert the pin
If you are not in KNSE and drop the ejection seat pin, what do you do?
- inform other crew member immediately
- remain strapped in and minimize movement
- taxi to remote parking area
- shut down the engine
- once the unnaffected crew member seat is pinned, they may open the aircraft and exit the canopy
- the pin may be then taken out and given to the affected crew member
- the pin will then get placed in and the affected crewmember will take the seat pin from the ground to properly pin both seats and resume operations
Are you allowed to do a rolling takeoff?
no, it can only be done by an IP or instructor under training
If you are inspecting the aircraft and notice that there are things falling off aircraft (TFOA), what do you do?
notify maintenance control and the CNATRA detachment maintenance officer immediately
If you suspect a bird strike, what do you do?
the flight shall be terminated and a landing determination shall be made according to NATOPS criteria for the amount of suspected damage. Then tell squadron FDO after landing
If you see animals or birds that pose a hazard to home field operations, what should you do?
report to the NASWF ODO x 7597 as soon as possible
What is the TW-5 rule governing the use of hearing protection?
personnel are required to use hearing protection while on the flight line
What is the TW-5 rule governing the use of cell phone and tablets devices on the flight line?
You shall not use cell phones/tablet on the flight line. The IPs and IUTs may
If there is a loss of cockpit pressurization, what shall you do?
start an immediate descent to a cockpit altitude at or below 10,000’ MSL
-then you shall contact the flight surgeon
