54
Q

When approaching a non-towered Airport for landing, how far away should you begin to monitor and communicate as appropriate on the CTAF Frequency?

A

10 miles out

55
Q

What is Radar Traffic Information Service?

A

A radar service (also called “flight following”) provided by ATC to alert the pilot to other traffic in their Area

56
Q

Should you use Radar Traffic Information Service

A

Yes, not mandatory

57
Q

What is a Terminal Radar Service Area (TRSA)?

A

Areas where participating pilots can receive additional radar services which have been redefined as TRSA Service

58
Q

How would an Army aviator participate in a TRSA?

A

Contact radar approach control and avail themselves of the TRSA Services

59
Q

Can an Army pilot flying an Army helicopter legally enter a Restricted Area VFR?

A

yes, with authorization from the using or controlling agency first

60
Q

What is the purpose of a Warning Area?

A

to warn nonparticipating pilots of the potential danger from activity that may be hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft

61
Q

There are no restrictions on through flight for VFR aircraft flying in a Military Operations Area (MOA). What procedure should be followed prior to entering an MOA?

A

Pilots shoukd contact any FSS within 100 miles of the area to obtain accurate real-time information concerning the MOA hours of operation. Prior to entering an active MOA, pilots should contact the controlling agency for traffic advisories

62
Q

What is the purpose of an Alert Area?

A

To inform nonparticipating pilots of areas that may contain a high volume of pilot training or an unusual type of aerial activity

63
Q

How could an Army aviator become aware of a possible Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) along the route of flight?

A

NOTAMS

64
Q

Would providing a safe environment for the operation of disaster relief aircraft be a possible reasin to create a TFR?

A

Yes

65
Q

True Course

A

Angle measured clockwise from True North to the proposed flight path.

Line from Point A to Point B

66
Q

Markings on Course Lines

A

Tick marks every 10 NM (Labeled every 20 NM)
Visual Checkpoint every 15 NM

67
Q

Survey of Course Line

  5. Emergency Airfields

4 NM in every direction

68
Q

Drift correction

A

Correction for Wind

69
Q

Track

A

Actual flight path over ground measured clockwise from True North.

If you fucked up and you get drifted away from TC

70
Q

True Heading

A

Angle measured clockwise from true north to the nose of the a/c.

TC +- DC = TH

Point your nose in that direction

71
Q

Drift Angle

A

Angle between True Heading and Track

Shows you how much you fucked up

72
Q

Ground Speed

A

Your real speed over ground

TAS +- Wind = GS

73
Q

Magnetic Variation

A

Angular Difference between true and magnetic North

74
Q

Agonic Line

76
Q

Magnetic Heading

A

Angle Measured from magnetic north clockwise to nose of A/C

Substract Eastern Variation
Add Western Variation

77
Q

Complete Formula

A

TC +- DC = TH +- VAR = MH
