100, 70
26
Define Attitude Instrument Flying
Control of an aircraft's spatial position by using instruments rather than outside visual references
27
Control and Performance Method
Aircraft performance is achieved by controlling the aircraft attitude and power
28
Control Instruments
Changes are displayed immediately and allow precise adjustments
29
Performance Instruments
Indicate the aircraft's actual performance
30
Pitch Instruments
- Airspeed Indicator - Attitude Indicator - Altimeter - Vertical Speed Indicator
31
Bank Instruments
- Attitude Indicator - Heading Indicator - Turn and Slip Indicator - Magnetic Compass
32
Power Instruments
- Airspeed Indicator - Torque Indicaton
33
Fundamental pilot skills are:
- Cross-Check - Instrument Interpretation - Aircraft Control
34
Common Cross-check Errors:
- Fixation - Omission - Emphasis
35
Formula for Standard Rate Turn
TAS / 10 + 1/2 of result
36
Definition of Standard Rate Turn
3° per second
37
Two IFR turns
Normal - Standard Rate Turns Steep - Anything greater than Standard Rate Turn
38
Unusual Attitude
Any maneuver not required for normal helicopter instrument flight
39
Unusual Recover Attitude
- Attitude - Heading - Torque - Airspeed - Altitude - Trim
40
Two Elements of Helicopter Control
Attitude and Power
41
Small heading change (less than 20°) should use a ____ Standard Rate Turn
Half
42
What is the basis for helicopter control during instrument flight?
Proper Instrument Interpretation
43
Generally for straight-and-level flight what are the primary instruments for helicopter: 1. Pitch 2. Bank 3. Power
Pitch - Altimeter Bank - Heading Power - Airspeed Indicator
44
Basis for Helicopter Control
Proper Instrument Interpretation
45
Navigation Instruments
Indicates aircraft position in relation to navigation facilities
46
Primary Instruments
Provide the most pertinent and essential information
47
Supporting Instruments
Back up and supplement the primary instruments
48
When are NOTAMS required to be checked and by whom?
By the PC before every flight in army aircraft.
49
2 Types of Navigation
- Space Based Navigation - Ground Based Navigation
50
What is Space Based Navigation?
Navigation system that provides highly accurate 3D navigation information to an infinite number of users anywhere on and around the earth. (GPS)
51
GPS is composed of what 3 major segments?
- Space segment - Control segment - User segment
52
How many satellites is necessary for a precise navigation signal?
4
53
GPS Status Information is available in what 3 ways?
Telephone Internet NOTAMs
54
How often must an Army aircraft GPS database be checked for currency?
Before every flight
55
What is Ground Based Navigation?
Navigation aided by VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range)
56
Standard Service Volume
The restriction limits of unrestricted NAVAIDs used for random unpublished navigation, and does not apply to published flight routes or procedures.
57
WAAS
Wide Area Augmentation system
58
FAF
Final Approach Fix
59

(T) Terminal (L) Low Altitude (HA) High Altitude (U) Unknown
60
Range (SSV) of a Low Altitude VOR 1,000ft to 18,000ft
40 NM
61
Accuracy of the VOR Ground Transmitter
Generally +/- 1°
62
GNSS
Global Navigation Satelite System
63
Ground Based Navigation
VOR Localizer NDB
64
Signals that emit from VOR's
Radials
65
Define Course
The direction you must take to get where you are going
66
Range (SSV) of a Terminal VOR 1,000ft to 12,000ft
25NM
67
Range (SSV) of a High Altitude VOR 1,000ft to 14,500ft
40NM
68
Regarding the RMI, the head of the needle points towards:
The NAVAID source
69
Regarding the RMI, the tail of the needle points towards
The NAVAID radial
70
Homing
Adjust aircraft heading as necessary to keep the bearing pointer under the top index
71
HSI is what?
Horizontal Situation Indicator
72
Initial Trial
30° < 90 kts 20° => 90 kts
73
Wind drift correction: "Bracketing process"
Continue until a heading is determined that maintains AC course.
74
Note concerning "Wind drift correction"
All degrees described in wind "drift correction" is degrees of heading from the desired track course.
75
Full deflection on the CDI for Localizer
2.5NM (1.25NM per circle)
76
Full deflection on the CDI for VOR
10° (5° per circle)
