Q

Cross-Country Flight

A

A flight that either does not remain in the local flying area, or remains in the local flying area and terminates at a facility other than an active military facility.

22
Q

Flight Time for Helicopters

A

For helicopters, a flight begins when the aircraft lifts from a rest point or commences ground taxi, and ends after airborne flight when the rotors are disengaged, or the aircraft has been stationary for 5 minutes with rotors engaged.

23
Q

Flight Crew

A

Personnel whose presence is required on board manned aircraft to perform crew functions in support of the assigned mission.

24
Q

Hazard

A

A condition with the potential to cause personal injury, death, property damage, or mission degradation.

25
Q

Instrument Meteorological Conditions

A

Meteorological conditions expressed in terms of visibility, distance from clouds, and ceiling less than the minimums specified for VMC.

IMC conditions exist anytime a visible horizon is not distinguishable.

26
Q

Instrument Time

A

The portion of pilot time in either day or night under actual or simulated conditions.

Actual instrument time will be logged by both pilots in a dual/multi piloted aircraft during flight in actual instrument conditions.

Simulated instrument time shall be logged only by the pilot actually manipulating the controls.

27
Q

Landing

A

A return to the surface; landings include touch and go, bolter, forced, or crash.

28
Q

Local Flight

A

A flight that remains within the local flying area and terminates at either the same facility or another military facility with which the originating station has direct station to station communications.

29
Q

Local Flying Area

A

That area in the vicinity of an air installation in which locally-based aircraft can operate during an average/typical sorties flight time.

The local flying area shall not exceed 350 miles and be designated as such in the Air Ops Manual by the CO.

In so far as practicable, local flying areas shall be bounded by prominent terrain features and/or air navigation aid radials/distances.

30
Q

Multi-Piloted Aircraft

A

Any aircraft having two sets of flight controls and instruments and operated by two pilots, both of who meet the requirements of the NATOPS manual for that model aircraft.

31
Q

Night Time

A

The portion of pilot time during darkness (between the official time of sunset and sunrise, on the surface below the aircraft in flight, regardless of whether visual or instrument conditions exist).

32
Q

Oceanic

A

A situation where an aircraft has no radio communication and is greater than 250nm from the nearest navaid.

33
Q

Officer in Tactical Command

A

The senior officer present elegible to assume command, or the officer who he has delegated tactical command.

34
Q

Official Business

A

The necessity to contact personnel, units, or organizations for the purpose of conducting transactions in the service of and in the interest of the US government.

36
Q

Operational Risk Management

A

The process of dealing with the risk associated with military operations, which include risk assessment, risk decision making, and implementation of effective risk controls.

37
Q

Crew Resource Management

A

The use of specifically defined behavioral skills as an integral part of every flight to improve mission effectiveness by minimizing crew preventable errors, maximizing crew coordination and optimizing risk management.

38
Q

Orientation Flight

A

A continuous flight in a DOD aircraft performed within the local flying area and terminating at the point of origin intended to further the understanding of particular programs concerning the roles and missions of the DOD.

39
Q

Passenger

A

An individual who is not part of the aircrew traveling in an aircraft designed or normally configured for passenger carrying capability on a point to point flight.

A

An expression of possible loss in terms of severity and probability.

43
Q

Simulated Instrument Approach

A

An instrument approach flown under simulated instrument conditions.

44

45
Q

VIP

A

VIPs are defined as flag officers, DOD officials equal to or senior to flag officers, high profile public figures, elected members of Congress, etc.

46
Q
