Instrument FTI

Question 1

When should you use the 6Ts?

Answer 1

Initial Approach Fix (IAF), Final Approach Fix (FAF), station passage, Holding Fix, and Missed Approach

Question 2

What are the 6 Ts?

Answer 2

Time, Turn, Time, Transition, Twist, Talk

Question 3

What are the four types of instrument departures?

Answer 3

Instrument Departure Procedure (ODP or SID), Radar departure, Diverse departure, Visual Climb over Airport (VCOA)

Question 4

When can you turn on course on a diverse departure and what climb gradient are you required to maintain?

Answer 4

400’ AGL; 200 FPNM

Question 5

What are max holding speeds?

Answer 5

min hold altitude to 6k’ - 200 KIAS
6,001’ to 14k’ - 230 KIAS
14,001’ and up - 265 KIAS

Question 6

What at the three types of penetration (HI) approaches?

Answer 6

teardrop, radial, radial/arc

Question 7

What is penetration airspeed for T-6B?

Answer 7

200-250 KIAS (recommended 8-10deg Nose low and idle pwr or 25% pwr w/SB out)

Question 8

When are you considered established on course?

Answer 8

w/in 5 degrees (5 radials or 1/2 scale on CDI)

Question 9

When do you configure to Basic Approach Configuration?

Answer 9

5NM prior to FAF

Question 10

When is a procedure turn not required for course reversal approaches?

Answer 10

SNERT (S)traight-in clearance, (N)oPT route, (E)stablished in holding, (R)adar vectors, (T)imed approach

Question 11

How do you determine descent gradient?

Answer 11

(1) Determine speed in NM/min
Mach No. x 10 = NM/min or GS/60 =NM/min.
(2) Divide distance by speed in NM/min to determine time
(3) Divide altitude by time to determine FPM

Question 12

What does the dotted line on a high altitude approach represent?

Answer 12

Penetration track

Question 13

When do you turn inbound on a teardrop approach with no published turn altitude?

Answer 13

turn at 1/2 initial altitude

Question 14

What three things should you know when crossing the Final Approach Fix?

Answer 14

How long, how low, where do I go?

Question 15

What is the mnemonic for ILS/LOC approach Navaid setup

Answer 15

D-LIDS
DME hold
Localizer (tune, ident)
Inbound Course (set front course in CDI)
Display (PFD source to LOC)
Speed

Question 16

If no DME, how could you determine when to configure to BAC on an ILS approach?

Answer 16

When glideslope shows 1 1/2 to 1 dot below GS.

Question 17

What mnemonic do you use for GPS approaches?

Answer 17

Little Dogs Dig Holes Always
Load approach
Direct to IAWP
Display (PFD source FMS)
Hold (setup hold as required /H)

What is full scale in Enroute, Terminal and Approach mode?

Answer 18

Enroute - 5NM
Terminal - 1NM
Approach - .3NM

Question 19

When do you start timing on outbound leg of a holding pattern?

Answer 19

When wings level or abeam fix, whichever occurs last
