Instruments Test Review Flashcards
Pilot Monitoring calls out deviations of ____ knots or more airspeed, and ____ ft or more desired altitude
5 knots
100 ft
Control performance concept: Steps 1. 2. 3. 4.
- Establish pitch/power using control instruments
- Trim
- Crosscheck using performance instruments
- Adjust by starting over with ESTABLISH

Correcting HDG and ALT deviations?
ALT: adjust pitch to get VVI ~2x the the altitude deviation
HDG: # of degrees off to correct, not to exceed 30*
Steep turn parameters
45* bank
160
200
230
Unusual Attitudes parameters
power
altitude
bank
recovery steps
Max power: MCT to prevent over boosting
Altitude: 5,000 AGL (VMC)
Max bank: 45*
Recovery steps: Recognize, Confirm, Recover
Vertical S parameters
speed
vsi
start direction
types
- 160 KIAS
- 1,000 fpm
- Start either UP or DOWN
A: constant HDG
B: constant bank
C: change bank direction on descent
D: change bank direction when vertical direction changes
NAVAID identification
Morse code always
NAVAID info transmitted
NDB
VOR
TACAN
NDB: non-directional radio beacon. non-directional signal only
VOR: VHF Omni-directional Range. course/radial only
TACAN: Tactical Air Navigation. Azimuth and range
Station passage:
NDB
VOR
TACAN
NDB: First swing thru 90* to inbound course for initial passage
VOR: TO/FROM indicator flips
TACAN: Range stops decreasing
Inbound intercept:
max intercept angle
min intercept angle
max: 90*
min: greater than the # of degrees off, not to exceed 90
outbound immediately after station passage
1st turn and intercept angle
first turn: parallel the course outbound, regardless of wha navaid is doing
Intercept angle: # of degrees off, not to exceed 45
Lead point for an arc? (formula)
(Ground Speed/60) - 2 = turn radius
Lead point off arc to radial? (formula)
(60/arc DME)*(turn radius)
Correcting off an arc:
outside arc
inside arc
outside arc: head of bearing pointer 10* above 90*index for every 0.5NM off
inside arc: head of bearing pointer 5* above 90*index for every 0.5NM off
Steps for Fix-to-Fix?
- TIM
- set radial in course window
- Initial turn between two heads
- Use a method to get an exact HDG
- Update continuously
PM mandatory calls for assigned altitudes?
1,000 ft below assigned altitude when climbing or descending
HDG and altimeter must be within what allowed deviation?
HDG: 5*
Altimeter: 75 ft
Instr. T/O procedures
Static
no change in normal procedures
Level off procedures:
moderate climb/steep climb
< 2,000 vsi: 10% of vsi
> 2,000 psi: cut pitch picture in half, then 10% of vsi
non-published minimum climb gradient
200 ft/NM
Army or Civilian departure procedure
cross rwy end height, 35 ft AGL
Published Departure procedure, when to make first turn?
at least 400 AGL unless directed otherwise
If vectored off SID, is it considered cancelled?
Yes, including associated departure procedures routes and altitudes
SID: told to maintain or climb and maintain,
departure route still applies, but altitudes are cancelled
