Q

What happens to takeoff speed as:
weight decreases? Why?

Q

What happens to SETOS as:
Pressure and temperature increases? Why?

A

Increases, as density is decreased, thrust is decreased, so SETOS must be higher to decrease the induced drag and ensure excess thrust to climb out of ground effect.

Q

Why is SETOS +10 the optimum singe-engine rotation speed?

A
  1. For each knot above SETOS (up to +10) you get an extra 60 FPM.
  2. Above SETOS+10 you can get PIO or rotation, excessive rwy length, overspeed tires or blown tires, nose gear may dig in making it hard to rotate.

Q

What happens to Decision speed as:
temperature and pressure altitude increases? Why?

A

Increases, Thrust is reduced as air density is reduced, so in order to reach SETOS by the end of the rwy you need to accelerate on 2 engines longer.

Q

What happens to refusal speed as:
Temperature and pressure altitude increases? Why?

A

Decreases, since density is reduced, thrust is reduced, so it takes more distance to reach a given airspeed. Therefore, the abort must be started at a lower speed in order to stop at the end or rwy.

Q

What happens to Critical Engine Failure Speed as:
Temperature and pressure altitude increases? Why?

A

Increases, since CEFS is stopping and going, you need to figure out which is effected more. As density decreases, accel and ground speed are worse. Stopping is only hurt by an increased groundspeed. Therefore, takeoff accel is affected more than stopping distance, and to keep stopping and T/O distance equal, CEFS must be increased.

Q

What happens to Critical Engine Failure Speed as:
RCR is decreased? Why?

A

Q

What happens to Critical Engine Failure Speed as:
Weight is decreased? Why

A

Decreases. Takeoff distance is reduced by light aircraft, better SETOS accel. Stopping a lighter aircraft is easier but is not affected nearly as much as the go distance, CEFS must be decreased to keep stopping and takeoff distance equal.

Q

What happens to the Minimum Acceleration Check Speed as:
Temperature and pressure altitude increases? Why?

A

Decreases, since NACS decreases MACS decreases at low T/O factors.

Increases, at higher T/O factors, CFL will increase in this case, less is subtracted from NACS.

No change, given the above there is a theoretical point in which MACS remains the same

Why do we use MACS instead of NACS

A

A

600 FPM

Pitch100TAS in NM/MIN

251
Q

How do you determine a VDP?

A

HAT/Gradient

252
Q

What is the category E obstruction clearance radius for a circling approach?

A

4.5 NM

253
Q

How much should you lead your turn point?

Degrees to turn
90 60 45 30

A

Fraction of 90* turn
1
1/2
1/3
1/6

254
Q

MEA definition

A

Lowest published altitude between 2 radio fixes which assures nav reception and obstacle clearance req.

255
Q

MOCA definition

A

Altitude in effect between radio fixes, off airway routes, or route segments which meets obstacle clearance requirements for the entire route segment which assures navaid reception within 22NM of station.

256
Q

MRA definition

A

the lowest altitude at which an intersection can be determined

257
Q

Define HAA

A

Height of minimum descent used with circling

258
Q

Define HAT

A

The height of decision height or MDA above the highest elevation in the touchdown zone elevation. Used with straight ins

259
Q

Define touchdown zone elevations

A

The highest elevation in the first 3,000 ft of the landing surface.

260
Q

Who and wat are specifically governed by the directives stated in AFMAN 11-202V3?

A

Governs the operation of Air Force aircraft flown by Air Force pilots, pilots of other services, foreign pilots, and civilian pilots.

261
Q

When are deviations authorized from AFMAN 11-202V3

A

PIC may deviate from any flight rule only when:
-in-flight emergency requires immediate action
-Deviation is require to protect lives
-when safety of flight dictates

262
Q

If you have deviated from 11-202V3 as a result of an emergency, what must the pilot do upon landing?

A
  1. Verbally report incident to immediate sup and commander in 24 hours.
  2. PIC make detailed written record
  3. Unit will keep record for 1 year and provide it to investigation authority
263
Q

If a pilot decides to file based on visibility-only criterial, what additional allowances must be provided for in the preflight planning?

A

Fuel for an approach and missed approach must be included in the total flight plan fuel.

264
Q

When do you have to file an IFR flight plan?

A

Pilots must fly under IFR under max extent practical but specifically if…
-Weather conditions do not permit flight according to VFR.
-Class A airspace
-Excess of 180 KTAS within Fed airways
-Operating fixed wing at night

265
Q

What is required for file to a destination?

A
  1. Wx +/-1 hour above lowest compatible mins (not tempo)
  2. For straight in or sidestep, forecast wx must only meet published vis.
  3. Circling approach must meet ceiling or vis.
  4. If not compatible approach must be able to fly composite IFR/VFR
266
Q

When is it required to file an alternate?

A
  1. Wx +/-1 hour including tempo less than 2000/3SM
  2. AETC winds out of limits
  3. AETC denial of RVSM prevents reaching planned destination
267
Q

What ex is required for an alternate?

A

Wx +/- 1 hour not including TEMPO caused by rain, snow, thunderstorms, 1000/2 or 500/1 above lowest compatible mins

268
Q

Other than wx, what disqualifies an alternate?

A

-require radar
-all NAVAIDs unmonitored
-No WX reporting
- ANA
- All approaches require GPS
-AETC winds
-AETC regardless of wx, access to RVSM required.

269
Q

What are the takeoff minimums?

A
  1. Wx above lowest compatible approach mins
  2. Takeoff vis must be greater than 600 RVR
  3. Mins below 1600 RVR not authorized unless centerline lights and 2 RVR reporting systems
  4. PWC minimums
270
Q

What weather is required to start an approach?

A
  1. Pilots will not descend if wx is required approach mins
  2. Straight in or sidestep the wx must only be at or above published vis mins
  3. circling mins use ceiling or vis
271
Q

What do you do if the wx goes below mins on an approach?

A

if already started descent, receiving radar vectors or established, can continue down to MDP/DH MAP

272
Q

Requirements to fly cat D approaches?

A

Straight in
Final 165 KIAS or less
260 KTAS on missed

273
Q

When do you hold short of the ILS localizer critical area?

A

WX 800/2

274
Q

Where are the ILS critical areas at KDLF?

A

between center and outside runways on taxiways alpha, foxtrot, and golf
