Instrument Stuff Flashcards
Min takeoff WX
1/2 mile, 800m
OR
600RVR/200m with stipulations
To takeoff with RVR 600-1600, I need
Mission priority Dual RVR (600 on all) Centerline lights Takeoff alternate Fully qualified crew
Dept alternate within 30 min requires
Until 1 hour after TO, app mins (no less than 200-1/2)
Dept alternate within 2 hrs requires
For ETA +1 hr, 500-1 above lowest Appr (no less than 600-2 prec, 800-2 non prec).
When do I need to file an alternate
Destination is less than 2000-3(worst WX +- 1 hr)
OR
1000-2 if dual ILS
WX for an alternate to qualify
500 above Appr mins and 2 miles OR Appr Vis if higher
Also need alternate if
WX, winds, WX not reporting
Radar only
Unmonitored navaid
Lowest mins > 1500-3.
What is an SDF
Like LOC, but wider course, less precise
GPS PPS (precise position service) is accurate to
9m
Can I use GPS PPS for IFR navigation
No
How many satellites are needed for IFR navigation
5
To fly RNAV terminal procedures,
CDI set to 1 nm
Must be pulled from current database
Can I fly terminal procedures with an expired database
No, 217v1.
Which takes precedence, chart or database
Chart, 217v1
In terminal procedures, all distances in the FMS must be within
0.1 nm
FMS final approach course must be within
5 deg
When do I have to do cold WX altimeter correction
Below 0, everything inside FAF
Below 0 mountainous, everything
Below -30, everything
What are Cat A through E speeds
166
What does MSA provide
1000 above highest within 25
What does ESA provide
1000 (2000 Mtn) within 100
What is TDZE
Highest in first 3000
If no circling ceiling is published
Use HAA plus 100 rounded up
How far off can a straight in approach be
30 deg
What does A-NA mean
Doesn’t qualify as an alternate- WX not reporting, un monitored navaid, etc
What two declared distances do I use?
TORA
LDA
Can I do LPV
No, requires WAAS
How is a fly over waypoint depicted on an approach
It’s circled
Altimeter tolerance at ground checkpoint
75’
Heading indicator tolerance
5 deg
VOR ground checkpoint tolerance
4 deg
DME tolerance
1/5 mile or 3%, whichever is greater
The OCS at AF and Navy fields starts at _____. Others start at _______
0, 35’
Where is trouble T info on Jepps
Back of airfield diagram
Close in obstacles are below
200’
Close in obstacles are a factor if within
500’, technique in 11-217
2 types of IFR departures
ODP
SID
Types of ODP departurs
Routing, climb gradient, low close in obstacles, sector departure, VCOA, RTRL
T/F. Comply with ODP prior to the SID
True, unless cleared otherwise
How do I know there’s an ODP
Trouble T
Can I use non standard WX min
No, but if you can be above the ceiling OEI by the departure end, that is a legal dept method
Can I fly VCOA at night?
No, need NVGs
When can I do VCOA
“Climb in visual conditions” twice
What is the radius for VCOA?
Published, from geographic center, or use remain within dist
VCOA construction is based on bank angle
23 deg at 250 Kts
Can I create my own RTRL?
No
What is a diverse vector area
Vectors on dept can be issued below MVA
When can I do a diverse dept
No SID or trouble t
How do I do a diverse dept
400’, then turn on course and climb 200’/nm
What if there is no SID, no ODP, and diverse dept not authorized?
Call AMC terps
What if I can’t make a OEI climb gradient?
- Delay msn, download, etc
- Subtract 48’ (ops sup approval)
- SDP
RNAV departures must be checked in FMS to be within
5 deg and 0.1 nm
Holding time at or below 14000’
1 min
Standard hold turn direction
Right
