Question 1

Minimum fuel approach

Answer 1

Remain clean until 30 seconds before glide path intercept.

Then, gear down, flaps half, and adjust power/nose attitude simultaneously to catch VSI

Question 2

Min Fuel ILS

Answer 2

Advise ATC you will remain 200 until glidepath intercept.

Glide slope needle coming down serves as 30 second warning. Configure and capture glidepath.

Question 3

Emergency Fuel GCA

Answer 3

Controller will direct aircraft on to FAC at minimum vectoring altitude and glidepath intercept much closer to the runway. Downwind to final will be a continuous turn. Intercept final 4 to 5 DME from end of runway.

Question 4

Low Oil GCA power setting

Answer 4

78 - 87 %

Question 5

Low Oil GCA

Answer 5

Set power 78-87

Control airspeed with speed brakes

Maintain 200 KIAS inside GCA box

Configure aircraft, retract speed brakes, and lower nose when you receive “up and on glidepath”

Use nose to maintain glidepath and 175 KIAS

When runway is made extend speed brakes.

Upon touchdown reduce power to idle.

Question 6

Low Oil GCA missed approach

Answer 6

Simultaneously retract speed brakes and raise landing gear.

Slowly rotate nose to climb attitude.

When above 300 AGL & 140 KIAS raise flaps.

Power should only be reset if positive rate of climb is not achieved.

Question 7

Two Way Communication Failure

Answer 7

Squawk 7600 mode 3, make all calls in the blind, attempt to remain VMC.

AVEFAME if unable to remain VMC

Question 8

Thunderstorm Penetration

Answer 8

HALT

Heat
 -pitot heat on
Airspeed & Altitude
 -250 KIAS, stabilize airspeed and attitude
 -fly shortest path through the storm
Light
 -turn all cockpit lights to bright including floods
Tight
 -lower the seats and tighten lap belts

Question 9

Minimum Fuel Advisory

Answer 9

Mandatory call to ATC when fuel status has reached a state where, upon reaching your destination, you cannot accept any undue delay.

Question 10

Emergency Fuel

Answer 10

Your fuel state has reached a point where you require priority handling and special consideration to land safely.

Question 11

When do you declare EMERGENCY FUEL?

Answer 11

any time on-deck fuel state will be less than 350 lbs or LOW FUEL caution has illuminated

Question 12

SPIT check

Answer 12

Strobes, Pitot Heat, IFF Normal, Taxi/Landing Lights on,

Manual fuel normal, NO AV BIT, VCR (Auto/on/off)

Question 13

DME to lose 1,000 ft @ idle with boards out

Answer 13

1 (6,000 fpm descent)

Question 14

Descent Penetration Checks

Answer 14

1. Canopy Temp - 3 o’clock
2. Master Arm - SAFE
3. CONTR AUG - ALL
4. WX - Checked
5. NAVAIDS - Describe
6. STBY ATT INDICATOR - ERECT
7. STBY BARO ALT - (Kollsman setting)
8. LAW - Platform
9. FUEL - 1.x

Question 15

Lead point for level offs

Answer 15

10% of VSI

i.e. 300 ft for 3000 fpm vsi

Question 16

DME to lose 1,000 ft @ idle with boards in

Answer 16

2.5 (2,500 fpm descent)
