Answer 9

2000 Ref: AFI 11-202 Vol 3, 6.2.3.4

Question 10

If equipped, when must anti-collision and strobe lights be on:

Answer 10

• from just prior to engine start until engine shutdown.
  -Aircraft that do not have power available before engine start shall turn anti-collision or strobe lights on as soon as power is available
• Flashing lights may be switched off or reduced in intensity if they adversely affect the performance of duties, or subject an outside observer to harmful glare (new verbiage)
  AFI 11-202 Vol 3, 3.15.2

Question 11

What are the Right-of-Way Rules?

Answer 11

Each pilot must take whatever action is necessary to avoid collision, regardless of who has the right-of-way. The yielding aircraft must not pass over, under, abeam, or ahead of the other aircraft until well clear.
1. Distress. Aircraft in distress have the right-of-way over all other air traffic.
2. Converging. When converging at approximately the same altitude (except head-on or approximately so), the aircraft to the other’s right has the right-of-way. Aircraft of different categories have the right-of-way in the following order of priority: balloons, gliders, aircraft towing or refueling other aircraft, airships, rotary- or fixed-wing aircraft.
3. Approaching Head-On. If aircraft are approaching each other head-on or approximately so, each shall alter course to the right.
4. Overtaking Aircraft. An overtaken aircraft has the right-of-way. The overtaking aircraft must alter course to the right.
5. Landing. An aircraft established on final approach has the right-of-way over other aircraft on the ground or in the air, except when two or more aircraft are approaching to land. In this case, the aircraft at the lower altitude has the right-of-way but it shall not use this advantage to cut in front of or overtake the other.
AFI 11-202 Vol 3, 3.17

Question 12

If ATC tells you to descend for traffic and as you begin your descent you get a TCAS RA instructing you to climb, which do you follow?

Answer 12

Respond to all RAs regardless of ATC instructions, right-of-way rules, cloud clearance requirements, or other VFR/IFR flight rules, as directed by TCAS, unless doing so would jeopardize the safe operation of the aircraft (e.g. descent into obstacles). Notify ATC of the deviation as soon as practical and promptly return to current ATC clearance.
AFI 11-202 Vol 3, 3.23.2.2

Question 13

Report distress or ELT

transmissions to __________. (pub verbiage)

Answer 13

ATC

AFI 11-202 Vol 3, 6.7.1

Question 14

In the NAS, when may a pilot fly in

excess of 250 KIAS below 10,000 ft?

Answer 14

• Within restricted areas or Military Operating Areas (MOAs).
• Within DoD/FAA mutually developed instrument routes or DoD developed visual routes.
• Within unpublished joint MAJCOM- and FAA-designated areas or routes (to accomplish the national defense mission).
• During large-scale exercises or short-term special missions with appropriate coordination to ensure awareness of the nonparticipating flying public.
• When the aircraft T.O. requires a higher airspeed. If the airspeed is listed as a range, fly the slowest practical speed in that range.
  AFI 11-202 Vol 3, 6.3.2.3

Question 15

Do not exceed ___ KIAS in the airspace underlying Class B or in a VFR corridor designated through Class B unless required to maintain the minimum operating airspeed specified in that aircraft

Answer 15

200 KIAS

AFI 11-202 Vol 3, 6.3.2.2

Question 16

When can you turn after a takeoff, touch

and go, or low approach?

Answer 16

Do not turn after a takeoff, touch and go or low approach until at least 400 ft. above the Departure End of the Runway (DER) elevation, at a safe airspeed, and past the end of the runway (if visible) unless specifically cleared by the controlling agency or required by a published procedure, or when executing a closed pattern.
AFI 11-202 Vol 3, 7.14

Question 17

When must position lights be displayed?

Answer 17

Illuminate position lights between official sunset and sunrise
-When an engine is starting or running. Aircraft that do not have power available before start shall turn them on as soon as power is available
-While being towed, or when parked in an area likely to create a hazard, unless clearly illuminated by an outside source.
AFI 11-202 Vol 3, 3.15.1

Question 18

Define crew rest period.

Answer 18

Crew rest is compulsory for aircrew members prior to performing any duties involving aircraft operations and is a minimum of 12 non-duty hours before the Flight Duty Period (FDP) begins.
-Crew rest is free time, and includes time for meals, transportation, and rest. This time must include an opportunity for at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Crew rest period cannot begin until after the completion of official duties.
AFI 11-202 Vol 3, 2.1

Question 19

Define flight duty period.

Answer 19

FDP begins when an aircrew member reports for a mission, briefing, or other official duty and ends when engines are shutdown after the final flight of the completed mission. FDP for UAS aircrew member ends at final engine shut down, final in-flight handover briefing, or final crew swap, whichever occurs last.
AFI 11-202 Vol 3, 2.2.1
-Students in a formal course of training must complete all training events
in the first 12 hours of the FDP.

Question 20

Aircrews will not fly within

___________?

Answer 20

24 hours of compressed gas diving including SCUBA, surface supplied diving, hyperbaric (compression) chamber exposure or aircraft pressurization checks (to below sea level) that exceed 10 minutes duration
- 12 hours after completion of a hypobaric chamber flight above 25,000 ft. MSL.
- 72 hours after donating blood, plasma or bone marrow
- 12 hours of consuming alcohol or other intoxicating substance, or while impaired by its after effects
AFI 11-202 Vol 3, 2.7.1

Question 21

What is minimum fuel when stated to a

controller mean?

Answer 21

Pilots will declare minimum/emergency fuel to the appropriate controlling agency when the aircraft may land at the intended destination with less than the MDS specific minimum or emergency fuel reserves. (T-1 500lbs / 300 lbs)
AFI 11-202 Vol 3, 3.13.2

Question 22

What is considered night?

Answer 22

The time between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil
twilight, as published in the Air Almanac.
AFI 11-202V3 Attachment 1 (Glossary) (67)

Question 23

What does radar contact mean?

Answer 23

Pilots are never relieved of the responsibility for terrain and obstacle avoidance. The radio call “Radar Contact” only means the aircraft has been identified on radar. Responsibility is shared between pilot and controller only after navigational guidance is issued.
