Q

Once you determine you are experiencing lost communications, how do you select the proper altitude to continue your flight?

A

Use the AME technique, flying the highest of:

a. A – assigned altitude

Q

When planning a VFR mission, how will you decide which type of chart to use?

Q

Navigational charts are oriented to ______ north and south, while aircraft navigation systems are oriented to ______ north and south.

A

true; magnetic

26
Q

How do you determine the proper hemispheric altitudes for a VFR flight above 3000 feet AGL?

A

a. Heading 000 – 179: Odd thousands plus 500 feet

b. Heading 180 – 359: Even thousands plus 500 feet

27
Q

As a general rule of thumb, select checkpoints no closer than ______ minutes apart and no further than ______ minutes apart when planning a VFR mission.

A

5; 25

28
Q

In planning a Route Abort Altitude, what do you do after determining the obstacle altitude?

A

Round up to the next 100 feet and add 1000 feet (2000 feet in mountainous terrain) to your obstacle altitude.

29
Q

You must notify FSS if your estimated arrival time changes by more than ______ minutes

A

Thirty. Use the report format in the inside back cover of the IFR or VFR Supplements.

30
Q

Flying a specific heading at a specific airspeed for a specified time to arrive at your destination is referred to as ______.

A

Dead reckoning (DR)

31
Q

To correct your planned ETA along the route, how is the proportional method used?

A

For every second you are off of your planned ETA, change your airspeed by one knot and hold this airspeed for the number of minutes equal to your groundspeed in miles per minute

32
Q

When should you implement lost procedures?

A

Whenever you are not able to determine your position

33
Q

If lost, when using the 5 Cs, how will you conserve fuel?

A

Fly at max endurance airspeed which is 8.8 units AOA

34
Q

If you are under IFR, and elect to conduct the remainder of your arrival under VFR, what must you do?

A

a. You must cancel IFR and be outside Class A airspace (less than 18,000 MSL)
b. You must change to an appropriate frequency and set the VFR code in the transponder (and comply with VFR altitude procedures)
c. Expect to lose radar services

35
Q

What happens to Class D airspace when the tower closes?

A

It reverts to class E airspace.

36
Q

If you are entering a strange field under VFR with lost communications, what radio calls, if any, should you make?

A

Make all radio calls as if you have a working radio. You might have a transmit-only capability. Watch the tower for light signals

37
Q

What is an uncontrolled airfield?

A

Any airfield without an operating tower

38
Q

When arriving at an uncontrolled airfield, you communicate your intentions with the FSS through CTAF, and by self-announcement on the CTAF (usually 123.0). What is the third means to announce your arrival at an uncontrolled airfield?

A

UNICOM (if available)

39
Q

When planning for an IFR mission, and selecting your route and destination, what four factors should you consider when receiving your weather briefing?

A

Winds, turbulence, icing, and thunderstorms. You would also consider origin, destination and alternate weather conditions and forecasts.

40
Q

What are your options if your intended destination lacks a published instrument procedure?

A

a. You can file IFR to a point enroute that is VMC and proceed VFR to the destination
b. File to another field served by a suitable published instrument procedure. Fly that procedure until reaching VMC then proceed to your destination.

41
Q

What three criteria must you meet in order to operate under IFR in any controlled airspace?

A

a. File a flight plan
b. Receive appropriate clearance
c. Have operable communication, navigation, and identification equipment

42
Q

When are position reports required?

A

When flying under IFR and not in radar contact, position reports are required when reaching a compulsory reporting point. Position reports may also be requested at any time by ATC.

43
Q

You are flying in instrument conditions and lose communications. When would you plan to
commence an approach?

A

At your EFC or ETA

44
Q

The rules and specifications for completing the Route of Flight Section on military, ICAO and

A

GP

45
Q

What level of METRO services requires the weather observer to refer you to another service facility
if you need an up-to-the-minute forecast?

A

Limited Services METRO. Full Service METROs have a forecaster.

46
Q

You are operating VFR at 1800 feet AGL in uncontrolled airspace. What is the daytime visibility
requirement?

A

3 statute miles

47
Q

When planning a VFR mission, what types of airspace should you try to avoid?

A

a. Restricted areas
b. Warning areas
c. Prohibited areas
d. MOAs

A

High and low altitude enroute chart

49
Q

On the VFR flight plan, how does the route of flight section differ from an IFR flight plan?

A

For VFR flights, the section simply states a general course you plan to follow. For IFR, it represents a specific route of flight

50
Q

You are flying at 3.5 NM per minute, and are 20 seconds early to a checkpoint. Using the
proportional technique, how would you correct this situation?

A

Decrease your planned airspeed by 20 knots for 3.5 minutes

51
Q

With respect to lost communications, what does the acronym AVE F stand for?

A

a. A – assigned route
b. V – vectored roue
c. E – expected route
d. F – filed route
This lists the route you would fly in order of preference.

52
Q

What is the advantage of climbing to a higher altitude during lost procedures?

A

When done safely in VMC conditions, it can increase radio reception, increase visibility, and increase fuel efficiency

53
Q

What is the purpose of the TRSA?

A

An optional service, it provides separation between all participating VFR aircraft and all IFR aircraft within the specific confines of the TRSA

54
Q
