General Study Flashcards
To be considered current in the aircraft, all pilots must take part in a flight every ____ days at a crew station with access to the flight controls. If currency has lapsed, the crewmember must be given a _______. If ____ days have lapsed, the crewmember will be designated RL3 for refresher training. If a Pilot-in-command (PC) has not flown for ___ days, the PC will fly with another PC prior to operating as the PC of a flight.
To be considered current in the aircraft, all pilots must take part in a flight every 60 days at a crew station with access to the flight controls. If currency has lapsed, the crewmember must be given a PFE. If 180 days have lapsed, the crewmember will be designated RL3 for refresher training. If a Pilot-in-command (PC) has not flown for 30 days, the PC will fly with another PC prior to operating as the PC of a flight.
Commander’s Investigation will take no longer than ___ days to complete.
Commander’s Investigation will take no longer than 14 days to complete.
Failing to meet ATP requirements will result in one of three courses of action, what are they?
3.) Failing to meet ATP requirements will result in one of three courses of action, what are they?
Extension FEB Waiver
What are the takeoff minimums for U.S. Army Fixed-Wing aircraft?
200 ½ or greater when required for SID/ODP or 0/0 when the pilot flying has 50 hours actual weather time.
A takeoff alternate is required for INSCOM fixed-wing aircraft when weather is?
below the landing minimums for the approach to be flown.
Takeoff alternate airfield must be within
one hour at engine out cruise airspeed
Aircraft will not be flown into known or forecasted ________ icing conditions. If a flight is to be made into known for forecasted ________ icing conditions, the aircraft must be equipped with adequate operational deicing or anti-icing equipment.
Aircraft will not be flown into known or forecasted severe icing conditions. If a flight is to be made into known or forecasted moderate icing conditions, the aircraft must be equipped with adequate operational deicing or anti-icing equipment.
If pressurization is lost in flight above 14,000 feet pressure altitude, the descent will be made immediately to _________.
If pressurization is lost in flight above 14,000 feet pressure altitude, the descent will be made immediately to 10,000 feet.
When is an alternate airfield required when filing IFR to a destination?
Unmonitored NAVAIDs.
Radar is required.
Weather (predominant) is less than 400-1 above the landing minimums ETA through 1 hour
What is the criteria for alternate airfield selection when filing IFR to a destination?
Monitored NAVAIDs, Radar cannot be required, Surfaced base airspace must exist at approach to be flown, Cannot have (A N/A) on approach plate. Weather (worst) is greater than 400-1 above the landing minimums eta through 1 hour. GPS restriction N/A to TSO-C145/C146 (WAAS capable).
What is the semi-annual flying requirements (total, night, hood/weather)?
55 Total
1 Night
3 Hood/Weather
What are the five sections of an approach plate?
Pilot Briefing Data, Profile View, Plan View, Airport sketch, Landing Minima and Notes.
During your performance planning, you deemed the aircraft static takeoff power required for your flight is 95% for current conditions. You are lined up on the runway and during the static power check and you can only reach 87%, what are your actions prior to takeoff?
Re-compute TOLD
What are the required additional reports
•When departing a previously assigned altitude/ level for a newly assigned altitude/ level
• When an altitude change will be made if operating on a clearance specified “VFR on Top”
• When unable to climb, or descend at a rate of at least 500 ft./min.
• when the approach has been missed
• when the change in the average TAS (at cruising altitude) varies by 5% or 10 knots (whichever is greater) from the filed flight plan.
• upon reaching a holding fix or point to which cleared, report time and altitude or flight level
• when leaving any assigned holding fix or point
•after any loss of VOR, TACAN, ADF, LF navigation receiver capability in controlled airspace. Complete or partial loss of ILS receiver capability, or impairment of air to ground communications capability
•any safety of flight information
When not in radar contact make the following reports:
• when leaving FAF inbound on final approach (non precision approach) or when leaving the outer market or fix used in lieu of the outer marker inbound on the final approach (precision approach)
•whenever it becomes apparent that a previously submitted estimate is in error by more than three minutes, resubmit a correct estimate.
4 reasons to leave icing conditions
1)
2)
3)
4)
1) a 30% increase in torque to maintain airspeed
2) a 15 knot decrease in airspeed with the same cruise power set
3) 2” of total ice accumulation
4) pilot- copilot airspeed indicators disagree
(2 x 15 = 30)
