Q

What do the following instructions mean in the context of joining an airway:

“Join on track”

“Join at”

“Join on track at”

A

Be on track below airway, then climb to join once the specified point has been underflown.

Enter the airway at 90 degrees to the flow, in line with the specified point., then turn to achieve the centreline.

Here, the join point will coincide with a boundary where the airway steps down. Use the surrounding class G airspace to manoeuvre to join the airway on the centreline and at the correct height.

A

“V**, unable, TCAS RA”

21
Q

State how to carry out a Low Level Abort.

A 
Convert to the HUD.
Full Power
Roll wings level.
Pull to 30 degrees nose up using 4g.
Maintain 30 degrees nose up in the HUD (but honour 190kts IAS as a minimum speed).
Select Baro in HUD.

Once above SALT, recover to Straight and Level by either:

Rolling to 120 degrees AoB and pulling nose down (preferred).
or
Gently bunting.

Select a mid-power setting.

Establish position - consider CAS and avoids.

Interrogate TCAS.

22
Q

What is the mantra when carrying out UPs?

A

Height
Speed
Assess
Action

23
Q

What is the generic sequence of action for all UPs?

A

Throttle
Bank
Pitch

24
Q

State the recovery actions for a Nose Low UP.

A

Power: Idle
Combat Flap: Out
Airbrake: In OR Out if likely to go over 350kts.

Roll wings level.

Pull using 4g or light buffet to level flight.

25
Q

State the recovery actions for a Nose High Speed High UP.

A

Full Power.
Combat Flap: Out.
Airbrake: In.

Roll shortest way to 120 degrees AoB.

Pull nose down towards horizon.
At 10 degrees NU in HUD (or 15 NU in HDFD/ ADI), roll erect.

26
Q

State the recovery actions for a Nose High Speed Low UP.

A

Power: Idle.
Combat Flap: Out.
Airbrake: In.

Centralise controls.

At 100kts: Roll wings level.

At 150kts: Pull using light buffet to level.

Once stabilised, conduct an engine surge check, proving the engine to 100%. Check RPM leads T6.

27
Q

What additional limits apply to Low Speed, Nose High recoveries?

A

The aircraft commander should be a QFI (or staff pilot).

Min Entry Ht: 15,000ft.

Entry attitude should be steady. Max entry attitude: 70 degrees NU.

Initiate recovery before speed falls below 100kts.

28
Q

State the Post-UP recovery actions/ Cx.

A

HEROOO Cx:

Height: Confirm above SALT.
Erect: Cross-check flight instruments - HUD/ ADI/ HDFD.
Reason: Establish why you became disorientated.
Oxygen - Confirm Oxy system functionality. Confirm you are not hypoxic.
Orientation: Confirm your position. Assess a heading for a suitable airfield. Assess an appropriate semi-circular flight level for transit to that airfield.
Overstress - Confirm that the aircraft has not overstressed.

29
Q

State the Semi-circular flight level rule.

A

If your heading is between 000 and 179, select an Odd FL.

If your heading is between 180 and 359, select an Even FL.

30
Q

List the required visual references for transition to visual following an instrument approach.

A

Elements of the approach lighting system.
The threshold or threshold lighting.
PAPIs/ VASIs
The touchdown zone, zone markings or zone lights.
Runway edge lights.

31
Q

What is the rule of thumb for calculating height deviations when conditions are not ISA conditions?

If temperature is less than ISA conditions, will the aircraft be higher or lower than the altimeter reading?

When should you apply temperature error corrections?

Where can these corrections be found?

What should these corrections be added to?

A

Error is about 4ft per 1000ft, per degree celcius of difference from ISA.

Aircraft will be lower than the altimeter reading.

When the airfield temperature is below 0 degrees C.

The FIH (yellow book).

DH/ DA and MDH/ MDA
Step down fixes including FAF
All approach procedure altitudes where terrain is over 3000ft AMSL.

32
Q

What is the rule of thumb for calculating a rough RoD for a 3 degree glidepath?

A

5 x groundspeed.

33
Q

State your actions once you gain visual on a circling approach.

A

Level at a suitable height.
Turn to intercept the visual downwind leg.
Commence final turn using standard cues.
Intercept the standard approach.

34
Q

What should you do if you lose visual with the runway environment during the visual portion of a circling approach?

A

Start a climbing turn towards the required landing runway until overhead the airfield.
Then turn to intercept the missed approach track.

35
Q

Where is Valley Point Alpha?

A

219R/14d

A

055R/30d

37
Q

Where is Valley Point X-ray?

40
Q

Describe a Sector 1 Join.

A

Fly to the fix.
Turn (using 30 degrees AoB) to track outbound, but parallel to hold radial.
At the limiting DME, turn towards the holding side, rolling out on a converging heading to intercept the inbound radial.

41
Q

Describe a Sector 2 Join.

A

Fly to the fix.
At the fix, turn (using 30 degrees AoB) to track 30 degrees away from the (reciprocal of) the hold radial, on the holding side.
At the limiting DME turn in the hold direction to intercept the inbound radial.

42
Q

Describe a Sector 3 Join.

A

Either:

Fly directly to the fix.

OR

Intercept the inbound radial and fly to the fix.

Then:

Turn (using 25 degrees AoB) onto a wind adjusted outbound heading and fly the hold pattern.

43
Q

What AoB should you use to achieve a Rate 1 turn up to 250kts?

A
