Military IFR Cards Flashcards
While taxiing what instructions are air crew responsible to relay back to air traffic control?
All taxi and hold short instructions
While airborne aircrew required read back which ATC clearances?
Altitude assignments, restrictions, vectors, headings, altimeter settings, and runway assignments
What is a minimum separation required for aircraft not in formation?
500 feet
If GPS is being utilized for navigation what must be accomplished as part of the mission plan?
A RAIM check
When using RNAV as a substitute means of navigation for VOR, TACAN, or NDB what is prohibited?
Substituting a NAVAID for providing lateral course guidance during final approach segment
What is the minimum weather required to file an instrument flight plan?
Weather conditions at the destination from one hour before to one hour after hour the estimated time of arrival is forecast to be at or above the lows compatible approach minimums excluding tempo conditions
For filing purposes helicopters are allowed to do what for instrument approach planning purposes?
Reduce visibility required for the approach by 1/2 but no lower than 1/4 statute mile the prevailing visibility or 1200 feet RVR
If only circling minima are available for IFR flight planning purposes what whether must be forecast in order to utilize the approach for planning purposes?
Both ceiling and visibility minimums
For helicopters an alternate is required for what weather at the destination?
Conditions less than a ceiling of 1000 feet or 400 feet above the lowest compatible approach minima whichever is higher and visibility 2 statute miles including tempo conditions
If an instrument approach is not available at an alternate field what weather requirements must be present?
Forecast weather for one hour before to one hour after the ETA to include tempo groups must permit the scent from minimum enroute altitude and approach and landing under basic VFR
What are disqualifying criteria for an alternate if VFR weather is not available?
All compatible approaches require an unmonitored NAVAID, the airfield does not report weather observations, the airfield lists alternate not authorized on all compatible approaches, or any notes disqualifying the airfield in the IFR alternate minimum section (Trouble A)
Are Air Force pilots required to comply with the weather minimums listed in the IFR alternate minimum section of the terminal procedures publication?
No they’re not required to comply however one must check the procedures carefully for other disqualifying features
Flight under VFR conditions within the lateral boundaries of controlled airspace is prohibited when?
When ceiling is less than 1000 feet
For flight planning purposes when filing an alternate the total included fuel for planning must include fuel required to fly a missed approach when?
When visibility only criteria are utilized in filing the procedure as an alternate
Who authorizes special VFR clearance for helicopter air crew?
The owning MAJCOM
Two way radio contact is established when?
When the controller repeats the aircraft’s call sign
What minimum weather is required for takeoff?
Existing weather must be at or above the lowest compatible approach minimums
What is the minimum required climb gradient for IFR flight?
Aircraft must meet or exceed 200 feet per nautical mile or the published climb gradient whichever is greater with all engines operating
What is the minimum turn altitude after takeoff?
400 feet above the designated end of runway
What does the trouble T identifier signify?
Notifies pilots that departure procedures exist
Low close-in obstacles are not part of the departure procedure and assume what?
That the pilot operating the aircraft is able to see and avoid
Diverse departure is authorized when?
If no obstacles other than low close and obstacles penetrate the 40 to 1 terps criteria
Can pilots file a diverse departure on a flight plan?
No, they’re not authorized to do so
How is the diverse departure flown?
Climb runway heading until 400 feet by designated end of runway then turn on course while maintaining at least 200 feet per nautical mile until reaching 1000 feet or 2000 feet in mountainous areas
