NPA: published mins + 300/1 PA: published mins + 200/1/2
33
Planning for icing/storms
shall be planned to circumvent
34
Flying through WW
Not progressing as forecast (verification by DoD forecaster or FSS) 1. VFR filing if that's met 2. IFR if have radar installed 3. IFR in controlled airspace if VMC can be maintained to detect/avoid storms
35
Fuel Planning - Alt NOT req
fuel from TO to destination + 10% of planned fuel req
36
Fuel Planning - Alt Req
fuel from TO to approach fix at destination, then to alternate + 10% of planned fuel req
37
In no case shall planned fuel reserve after landing (at alt if req), be less than fuel needed for __ of flight based on
20 min; | fuel consumption at planned flight altitude
38
Cancellation of instrument flight plan ___ meet the requirement for closing flight plan
does not
39
Position Lights
30 min before official sunset until 30 min after official sunrise or at any time visibility from cockpit is less than 3000/3
40
3 times to turn on position lights
1. immediately before engine start 2. a/c being towed 3. a/c is parked and likely to cause a hazard unless a/c otherwise illuminated
41
Anti-Collision Lights
immediately before engine start and all times when a/c engines operating except when lights adversely affect ground ops; can be turned off in clouds
42
Landing/Taxi Lights
should be utilized for all taxi movements ashore during hours of darkness; recommended during approaches (day/night) within class B, C, D
43
outside controlled airspace, helos can operate below ___ ft AGL, __ of clouds, when vis is __ if __
1200; clear; less than 1 SM; operated at speed that allows pilot adequate opportunity to see and avoid other traffic & maintain obstacle clearance
44
Minimum Altitude out of controlled airspace
1000 ft above highest terrain or obstacle within 22 miles; 2000 ft in mountainous

shall be conducted within limits of field boundary over surface upon which a full auto can be safely completed and that has readily accessible crash, rescue, firefighting crew; all practice autos require tower approval
51
Noise Sensitive and Wilderness Areas
fly at 3000 ft AGL or higher
52
Jettisoning Fuel
6000 ft above terrain or greater make effort to avoid populated areas advise ATC when under positive control
53
Renewal
Valid from last day of month in which evaluation was completed
54
ITO Procedures
1. Select hover mode on FD 2. Smoothly increase collective to takeoff power and maintain a hover attitude by referencing AI. Allow AFCS to maintain heading (feet off trim once airborne) 3. Smoothly increase collective to climb out power. As helo passes through 20 ft on radalt, position cyclic forward to establish a 5 deg nose down attitude and accelerate into forward climbing flight 4. As helo accelerates, cross-check radalt and VSI for positive rates of climb. Rate of climb should be 500 rpm or greater 5. Maintain a smooth acceleration up to 90 KIAS, referencing the AI and airspeed indicator
55
Instrument Climbs and Descents
PAC verbalizes intentions to leave one altitude for another PNAC monitors flight instruments and provide 100 ft (or as briefed) prior call Upon reaching intended altitude, PNAC shall verbally note RAD/BARALT latched
56
Change of Scans
PAC flies approach and makes landing PAC maintains instrument scan until landing phase commences PNAC backs up PAC on instruments and scans outside for landing environment Once PNAC has landing environment in sight and can safely continue approach, PNAC will provide PAC with a brief description of the visual approach then assume scan responsibilities PNAC maintains inst scan until landing assured If missed, PAC ensures obstacle clearance then gets on inst
57
Change of Controls
PAC flies inst approach and switches controls to the PNAC for landing Once PNAC has landing environment in sight and can safely continue approach visually, PNAC shall inform PAC, take controls, and land Initial PAC continues inst scan until landing assured If missed, initial PAC reassures control of aircraft and initial PNAC provides backup inst scan and obstacle clearance
58
ENG ANTI ICE switches shall be turned on when
OAT is 5 deg C or below in visible moisture
59
Ice damage to the engine may be characterized by
A high pitched noise with no associated power loss or secondary indication
60
When you turn on the engine and engine inlet anti ice systems, what 2 things can you expect?
Significant power loss and increased fuel consumption
61
Where will you first notice ice accumulation?
Windshield wiper arms, mirror support brackets, main landing gear, and external stores
62
Vibes produced by main rotor shedding ice
Light to medium
63
Ice detector is located on
No 2 engine cowling
64
Blade de-ice will cause a torque increase of up to
14% per engine
65
Ice accumulation resulting in __ % tq increase indicates that
Normal autorotational rotor rpm may not be attainable should dual engine failure occur
