Q

Describe the aerodrome temperature correction

A
  • Only applied if aerodrome temperature is ≤0◦.
  • To correct the altimeter add 4ft for every thousand feet, for every degree difference from ISA (+15◦C).
  • For example, at -4◦C, an aerodrome elevation of 10,000ft a (19 × 10 × 4) 760ft correction would be required.

  • Ident - Ident the beacon
  • Course - Set the course bar as req

Q

How would you fly to the secondary fix for the TACAN approach?

A
  • Use INAV to fly to the secondary fix.
  • Offset, 94, GOTO.
  • Fly to the secondary fix at the cleared height (notionally FL65) at 300 KCAS complete FIRADS checks.
  • At 10nm, deccelerate and complete TSIC checks for the tacan hold.
  • Continue flying to the secondary fix which will persist on the map.
  • Do not turn until you arrive at the correct DME.

Q

How would you go to Point Alpha?

A
  • Take a 90◦ cut (319◦) until the deflection bar comes off the stops then take a 40◦ cut (359◦) until half a dot of deflection.
  • You can call inbound for the procedure within 30◦ of the inbound radial but if you are joining the hold you should call established when you overfly the hold point.
  • Set QFE inbound to Point Alpha

Victor 23, inbound point alpha for the procedure

Q

How would you fly the TACAN arc from Point Alpha?

A

When at point alpha, prioritise the turn (30◦AoB), then begin descent (2000ft QFE except for runway 31 which is 2500ft) and transmit

“VXX, leaving FL65”

  • Use the heading bug to prompt the next event (approach checks).
  • Set the HDG bug 20◦ before the lead radial (or use 30◦ if performing a high speed arc).
  • When the tail of the TACAN needle is coincident with the HDG bug, carry out decceleration (80% + airbrake) and checks.
17
Q

How would you fly the TACAN approach after arriving at the lead radial?

A
  • At the lead radial, take a 40◦ cut onto the final approach track using 30◦AoB.
  • When at 2◦ deviation, turn to establish on the final approach track and set HDG bug to FAT
  • Call at the intermediate fix
  • Report at FAF
18
Q

Describe the technique for IF steep turns

A
  • Entered from 420 KCAS (approximately 91% NH).
  • Keep bottom of box just touching brown (on ADI), the corner touching when in the turn then roll the box so the flat bottom touches as you pass wings level.
  • An NH increase of approximately 2% is required to maintain 420 KCAS.
  • On roll out reset approx 91% NH, and check forward on the stick to prevent ballooning.
19
Q

Describe the LL Abort

A
  1. Covert to the HUD
  2. Select full power
  3. Roll wings level
  4. Pull to 30◦NU using 4G
  5. Maintain 30◦ NU to a limit of 190 KCAS
  6. Once above safety altitude recover to straight and level flight using either 120◦ AoB or bunt gently to level flight
  7. When level, select mid power setting
  8. Establish position with regard to CAS and avoids. Check TCAS.
20
Q

Describe the Nose Low UP recovery actions

A
  1. Check height
  2. Throttle - Idle, CF out, AB in (or out if speed exceeding 350kts)
  3. Roll wings level
  4. Pull to horizon using 4g / light buffet to level flight
21
Q

Describe the Nose High, Speed High UP recovery actions

A
  1. Check height
  2. Full Power, CF out, AB in Bank Roll to 120◦ AoB
  3. Pull to 10◦ NU (or 15◦ on HDFD) then roll wings level and catch horizon
22
Q

Describe the Nose High, Speed Low UP recovery actions

A
  1. Check height
  2. Throttle Idle, CF out, AB in
  3. Centralise
  4. 100kts - Roll wings level
  5. 150kts - Pull to horizon using 4g / light buffet to level flight
  6. Engine Surge check
23
Q

State the post UP recovery checks

A
  • Height - Confirm above SALT
  • Erect - Cross check instruments HUD/ADI/HDFD
  • Reason - Consider reason for UP
  • Oxygen - Confirm oxygen system functionality and no hypoxia
  • Orientation - Confirm position and heading for airfield, choose semi-circular
  • Overstress - Confirm no overstress, speed and G (especially if configured)
24
Q

How can you calculate the required RoD on an approach?

A

RoD3◦ = Groundspeed × 5

RoD3.5◦ = Groundspeed × 6.5

25
Q

Describe how to conduct an ADI/HDFD final approach

A

To achieve approximately 3◦ glideslope using the ADI/HDFD:

  1. Select level initially (this is approximately a 3◦ dive)
  2. Select DOWN flap
  3. Progressively lower the attitude as the flap travels to achieve approx 3◦ ND
  4. Cross check the rate of descent and adjust if required
26
Q

What height increments do the following altimeter displays work in:

  1. Baro Alt (HUD) below 10,000ft.
  2. Baro Alt (HUD) above 10,000ft.
  3. Baro Alt (HUD) with AP on.
  4. RadAlt (HUD)
  5. HDFD.
A
  1. 20ft
  2. 50ft
  3. 10ft
  4. 5ft
  5. 20ft
27
Q

What happens to the HUD baro altimeter when above 28,800ft with 1013 set?

A

It auto-switches to 1013.25 and displays STD

28
Q

Between what Flight Levels does RVSM airspace exist?

A

Between FL290 and FL410.

29
Q

What source does the ADS get its pitot-static information from? Where is this information displayed?

Where does the HDFD get its pitot-static information from?

A

The pitot-static probe and the TOAT. This is sent to the DMCs to be displayed on the HUD and MFDs.

The two smart probes.

30
Q

How long will the TACAN system remain in TACMEM if you lose:

Range signal.

Bearing signal.

A

15 ± 2 seconds.

Q

What waypoint number is Point Bravo?

A

70
