Q

What is a change over point and how is it identified?

A

A point long an IFR route where you switch navaids that you are navigating off of.

>20KTS

17
Q

What is DA/DH and what kind of approach is it used on?

A

Decision Altitude/Decision Height
Used on precision approaches

18
Q

When do you do a diverse departure and how do you do it?

A

Whenever there are published approach procedures but not departure procedures
You take off and remain runway heading until 400’ AGL, maintaining a 200’/NM climb

19
Q

Airspeed and altitude limitations for hover taxi?

A

Within ground effect
20KTS

20
Q

When do you not have to file an IFR flight plan?

Flight is primarily VFR training
Time will not allow for the mission to be completed IFR
Mission can only be completed VFR
Excessive delays
Hazardous weather
