The EHSI and so long as you are proceeding directly to/from a station or at least are as far as high in thousands of feet

32
Q

What are the two types of reporting points?

A

1) . Compulsory reporting point (solid triangle)

2) . Non-compulsory (on request) reporting point (unfilled triangle)

33
Q

Do you need to make a position report when operating under IFR and in radar contact?

A

No.

34
Q

What should you include in a position report?

A 
Call sign
Position
Time
Altitude
Next compulsory reporting pt
Time at next pt
Name of succeeding reporting pt
Remarks
35
Q

Where can you find the format for position reports?

A

The inside back cover of the IFR Supp

36
Q

When must you make a TAS change report?

A

If change TAS by plus/minus 5% or 10 knots (whichever is GREATER)

37
Q

What should you do if lost Comm?

A

Set transponder to 7600, monitor guard freq, and if VMC, can continue VMC and land as soon as practical

38
Q

What routing should you use for lost Comm?

A

A-assigned route
V-vectored route
E-expected route
F-filed route

39
Q

What altitude should you fly when you’re lost Comm?

A

Fly the highest of the below:

Assigned altitude
Min altitude for IFR (MEA)
Expected altitude

40
Q

When do you descend if you’ve filed to an IAF?

A

As close to your expect further clearance (EFC) time or ETA. If your clearance limit is not a fix where you can start an approach, leave your clearance limit at EFC.
If no EFC, leave clearance limit at arrival and proceed to approach fix

41
Q

Where can you find Center frequencies?

A

IFR Supp

42
Q

Where can you find common sector freqs?

A

On low altitude enroute charts. Also IFR Supp

43
Q

Where can you find the closest metro facility for updating destination weather while enroute?

A

FIH Sxn C

44
Q

What are the four levels of turbulence?

A

Light
Moderate
Severe
Extreme

45
Q

What are the 3 frequency levels of turbulence?

A

Occasional
Intermittent
Continuous

46
Q

A

Limited service-weather observer but no forecaster

Full service-forecaster available

49
Q

What’s different about a Navy METRO?

A

Even if it’s a limited service METRO the observer will contact a full service METRO for you to obtain the forecast

50
Q

What is ATIS?

A

A recorded terminal observation which is updated hourly and broadcast continuously.

51
Q

Where can you find ATIS freq?

A

IFR Supp

52
Q

When can you be considered in the terminal area?

A

1) . If within 30 NM of destination or
2) . Below Class A airspace or
3) . Using a published procedure for navigation (IAP/STAR/SID)

53
Q

What’s the difference between a flyby and flyover point?

A

A fly-by is a four point star symbol on FLIP charts/terminal area procedures. You lead off your next turn.

A flyover is a four point star surrounded by a circle. You must pass over it before you start your turn.

54
Q

What procedures and restrictions apply when on a published instrument approach procedure?

A

1) . Equipment as 11-202v3 with RAIM
2) . Current A/C database
3) . If outside 30 NM, CDI to 1 NM
4) . All waypoints, course, distance info verified
5) . Predictive RAIM for all SID/STAR

55
Q

What if RAIM outages are predicted for more than 5 minutes along the route of flight?

A

The flight must rely on other approved equipment or else rerouted, delayed, or canceled

56
Q

True/False. Aircrew can change altitude/airspeed in terminal procedures to assist complying with ATC instructions.

A

True.

57
Q

What is a TAA?

A

Terminal arrival area. It’s how entry for RNAV is normally done to transition from enroute structure. It has a T design with 1-3 IAFs, a FAF, and a MAP.

58
Q

What are the three TAA areas?

A

Straight-in, left base and right base

59
Q

How are TAA lateral boundaries (also straight in area) defined?

A

Magnetic courses to the IAF

60
Q

How are the right/left base areas of a TAA subdivided?

A

Arcs based in RNAV distances from IAFs for each area. Min MSL altitudes give at least 1000’ obstacle clearance (more in mountainous)

61
Q

What must the pilot do if he wishes to do a course reversal when it is not necessary?

A

Inform ATC and receive clearance to do so.

62
Q

What is a parallel T?

A

T designs for airports with parallel runway configurations.
