26
Q

What are non standard IFR takeoff minimums?

A

These are provided when low close in obstacles penetrate the 40 to one within three statute miles. Weather must be equal to or better than published ceiling and visibility to depart using non standard IFR takeoff minimums and climb at 200 feet per nautical mile

27
Q

What is specific routing?

A

A published specific routing to avoid obstacles under the departure procedure section of the obstacle departure procedure

28
Q

What is a visual climb over airport?

A

A visual climb over airport procedure is a departure option for IFR aircraft operating in VMC equal to or greater than the specified visibility and ceiling to visually conduct climbing turns over the airfield to the published climb to altitude

29
Q

Who may authorize the use of VCOA procedures?

A

The MAJCOM

30
Q

What is a diverse vector area?

A

A diverse vector area is an assigned vector azimuth in lieu of obstacle departure procedure where the pilot departs based on headings assigned from ATC

31
Q

Are specific ATC departure instructions considered radar vectors?

A

They are not radar vectors

32
Q

Should wind drift corrections be applied to specific ATC departure instructions?

A

They should not be applied

33
Q

If departure instructions conflict with the obstacle departure procedure or with terrain or obstacles in the direction of the departure what should be performed?

A

The pilot should query the controller

34
Q

For Air Force pilots what takes precedence the obstacle departure procedure or ATC departure instructions?

A

The obstacle departure procedure. If ATC instructions conflict with this the pilot must query the controller’s line if unable to fly a standard instrument departure what should be placed in the flight plan? No Sid in the remarks section

35
Q

What is required to fly a standard instrument departure?

A

ATC clearance

36
Q

If radar vector or cleared off of an assigned SID with the instrument to prompt the pilot to resume the SID?

A

Expect to resume SID

37
Q

What are vector SID’s?

A

Air traffic control provides radar navigation to a filed route, or fix on the standard instrument departure. Considered a hybrid approach to departure traffic flow

38
Q

What is performance based navigation?

A

Specifies the required navigational performance necessary to attempt the approach such as accuracy, integrity, and functionality

39
Q

What is the RNP specification?

A

The requirement for on board performance of navigating, monitoring, and alerting for a required approach

40
Q

NAVAIDs may be identified via what to aspects?

A

They’re audible Morse code or their visual alphanumeric signal the

41
Q

When utilizing a NAVAID to navigate what must be performed?

A

The station must be monitored either visually or aurally to ensure transmission of a stable signal

42
Q

What are the two classes of integrity monitoring?

A

RAIM and aircraft autonomous integrity monitoring which uses internal onboard sensors

43
Q

Approach waypoints are normally fly by waypoints but the missed approach waypoint and the missed approach holding waypoint are what kind of waypoint?

A

Fly over waypoints

Q

Below 14,000 feet holding timing is what?

A

One minute

57
Q

What is the minimum required weather to attempt an approach at the destination?

A

Lowest compatible approach minimums. You are not allowed to attempt the approach below compatible approach minimums.

58
Q

If weather decreases below lowest compatible approach minimums after beginning the descent or receiving radar vectors what is authorized?

A

The approach may be continued to either the mist approach point or a landing if criteria are met

59
Q

On an arrival procedure if given an assigned altitude aircraft are not authorized to descend until?

A

Receiving authorization to descend.

60
Q

When given the authorization to change to advisory frequency on the approach the pilot should do what?

A

If at an airfield not served by a tower or flight service station the pilot should broadcast their intentions to include the approach being executed, their position, went over the non precision approach fix inbound or at the precision approach glide slope intercept point.

Q

For helicopters visibility reduction should be performed after what?

A

Applying any inoperative approach lighting visibility correction
