73
PF primary employment for Air Assault
select, mark, improve, and control landing sites. Engineers in direct support (DS) of lifted ground units.
74
PF secondary employment for Air Assault
control aviation unit base airfield perform map and aerial photographic work perform routine maintenance on their equipment
75
Graphic control measure
SP: topo feature easily identifiable from the air used as navigational aid. Normally no closer than 3 to 5 km from PZ. 2 min planning time. RP: 3 to 5 km from LZ. ACP or CCP
76
2 key elements of an air movement plan
1. Flight routes, w/ flight route overlays 2. Air Movement table primary and alternate for both
77
3 types of flight routes
Restricted flight route: restricted to heading and altitude. Flight corridor: extend 200-300 m on either side and 500 ft above and below. Flight axis: set width but no specific altitude.
78
3 types of terrain flight modes
NAP of the earth Contour Low level
79
Tactical Integrity of Units
intact on the same aircraft

86
Flight time formula
T=Dx60/Sx1.84 T: Time D; Distance S: Ground Speed in knots(AMC provides this) 1.84: converts knots to kilometers per hour round up to the next whole # after computing.

90
What advisory is given if slope exceeds AC requirements
Terminate at a hover
91
Approach and Departure buffer?
50 meters or 5:1 ration (whichever is greater) Added to approach and departure ends of the HLS. 10 meters to both sides of the HLS.
92
Density Altitude
Humidity Altitude Temperature This increase, AC performance decreases
93
Prioritizing landing direction
