NA106 Flashcards
What should you consider when planning a VFR nav sortie?
Distance and suitability Airfield and enroute weather If field is OBO If PPR is required NOTAM information Availability of aircraft services
A VFR destination should be approximately how far away?
200-250 miles
What two things do you need to check to determine airfield availability?
Enroute supplement and airfield NOTAMs
Where can you get NTAP (Notices to airmen) from? D series NOTAMs?
Base ops. FSS
Where can you find info on MTRs?
FLIP AP/1B. There are IRs, VRs and SRs
What is an IR?
Operations below 10,000’ allowed at airspeeds above 250 KIAS. Depicted in FLIP Low altitude charts.
What are VRs?
Like IRs, ops below 10,000’ at airspeeds above 250 KIAS but must be VMC (5 mi VI’s and ceiling at or above 3000’ AGL). Shown on FLIP Low Altitude charts
What are SRs?
Slow speed low altitude training routes. At or below 1500’ AGL and 250 KIAS or less. Only defined by latitude and longitude. ONLY in AP/1B charts, NOT FLIP enroute charts.
What should you avoid while flying?
Special use airspace and Class B, C, and D airspace
Where should you select checkpoints?
Between 5 and 25 minutes apart
What constant groundspeed works well for VFR missions?
210 knots
For pattern and arrival what STTO should you use?
5 minutes and 50 lbs of fuel
How do you convert true course to magnetic course?
“East is least, West is best”
Subtract easterly variation, add westerly variation.
What is the formula for drift correction?
DC=crosswind/TAS (NM/min)
What VFR altitudes must you use above 3000’ AGL?
Heading 180-359: even thousands plus 500
Heading 000-179: odd thousands plus 500
