NA104 Flashcards
What airfields can we use?
Any military field open and compatible with mission Civil (P) Fields if: -gov't tenant unit listed -open and compatible with mission -for alternate if no suitable mil field -in emergency -if approved by Wg/CC or higher
What destination should you select?
Within 300 miles which allows for multiple approaches after arrival and meet syllabus training requirements
The alternate decision matrix:
- is there a compatible approach available?
- is there a point where forecast at ETA +/- 1 hour allows a composite IFR/VFR flight
- no compatible approach?
- is destinations worst WX at ETA +/-1 hour greater than 2000’ and 3 SM or 1000’ and 2 SM
- if yes, do all compatible approaches require radar? Or unmonitored NAVAIDs? Or approach minimums greater than 1500’ or 3 SM
What weather should you check and where?
Weather for climb and cruise, destination and alternate (+/-1 hr of ETA)
Who do you contact for D series NOTAMs?
FSS
What can you check in FLIP?
Airfield operating hours, servicing capabilities, airfield hazards, loc of barriers, special arrival/departure procedures, special use airspace, emergency airfields, SIDs/STARS
What should you do to find your altitude?
Use 10% of your distance. Up to FL280 due to RVSM airspace restrictions.
What STTO can we use?
1 min and 50 lbs
What is the primary method for calculating fuel, time, and distance?
Checklist Tab Data
What must you do if the departure field elevation is 5000’ MSL or above?
Do double entry tab data. If below 5000’ MSL, impact on flight planning is negligible
What fuel do we use for calculating fuel remaining?
In T-6 you use 1100 lbs
If an alternate is required from where to where should you make calculations?
From destination IAF to alternate IAF
What is the standard P&A?
15 minutes and 100 lbs
How is fuel reserve calculated?
Best endurance airspeed at 10,000’
What frequencies should you write down?
ATIS, Ground, Tower, Departure, METRO, Approach control
