instruments exam 1 Flashcards
contains all information for north and South American nations area planning procedures
AP1 (area planning)
AP/1 publication cycle
24 weeks
OROCA
off route obstruction clearance altitude; 1000 foot clearance in non mountainous terrain, 2000 ft mountainous
basis for helicopter control during instrument flight
proper instrument interpretation
aircraft performance is achieved by controlling the aircraft’s: (2)
attitude and power.
elements of aircraft control
aircraft control instruments
attitude indicator and torque indicator (first limit indicator)
3 categories of flight instruments
control (immediate update)
performance (slight lag in update)
navigation (slight lag in update)
pitch instruments
airspeed indicator
attitude indicator
altimeter
vertical speed indicator
bank instruments
attitude indicator
heading indicator
magnetic compass
turn and slip indicator
power
airspeed indicator
torque indicator
3 fundamental pilot skills
instrument cross check, interpretation, and aircraft control
3 crosscheck errors
fixation
omission
emphasis
standard rate turn
3 degrees per second
2 types of turns
normal (standard rate/ half standard) or steep (anything greater than standard rate/ greater than 30 degrees)
formula for standard rate turn
TAS / 10 + half of the result
GPS segments
space (satellites)
control (stations and ground antennas)
user (avionics, gps receivers)
reception limits of naviads:
terminal
low altitude
high altitude
T- 25 NM up to 12000 feet AGL
L- 40 NM up to 18000 feet AGL
HA- 40 NM below 14500, 100 NM 14500 to 60k AGL, 130 NM 18k-45k agl
IFR flight will not be attempted without correcting source of error if it is in excess of ____ degrees indicated through ground check of _____ degrees using airborne check or _____ degree for VOR sending signal
4 ground
6 airborne
1 VOR
on FSS stations (R) or T mean
FSS can RECIEVE only or TRANSMIT only on that station respectively
airspace depictions on IFR map: B and C, mode C veil
B: shaded light blue with solid blue line around it
C: shaded light blue with dashed line around it
mode C veil: white space outlined in solid blue
what tells you if you are inbound or outbound
to/from indicator
flight toward a navaid, without corrective ting for wind, by adjusting the aircraft heading to maintain a relative bearing of zero degrees
homing
what controls affect attitude?
cyclic and pedals
types of NAVAIDS used by army aviators
ground based (VOR) and space based (GPS)
T/F when filing a flight plan you must notify ATC of highest navigational capability
true
signal that VOR emits
RADIALS (1 for each degree on compass rose)
DOD FLIP that will give you definitions of aviation terms
General Planning
_____________ gives you definitions form terms found in other DOD flips
General Planning
_____________ gives you definitions form terms found in other DOD flips
General Planning
FLIP for approach information
TLA (DOD) / TPP (FAA)
airport specific information for planning is found in what flip
FIH (flight information handbook
is every airport in IFR supplement also in AP1?
no
FLIP reference for NOTAMS
FIH (flight information handbook)
is 2 way radio failure an emergency? and what DOD FLIP would tell you what to do in that situation?
yes. FIH
flip that tells you whether a VOR is low or high altitude
IFR Supplement
underlined VOR frequency means ________
no comms available
brown, blue and green airports, which ones have ifs approach procedures available?
blue and green
HSI
horizontal situation indicator
RMI
radial magnetic indicator
CDI
course deviation indicator
bearing pointer refers to which indicator
RMI
wind drift correction
under 90 kts: 30 degrees
over 90 its: 20 degrees
then apply half of initial correction
too little correction: repeat first trial
too much correction: parallel, wait to be pushed back then decrease correction on next trial
MEA vs MOCA
Minimum enroute altitude covers entire route, minimum obstacle clearance altitude (22NM/ 25 SM from VOR)
