How many modes of terrain flight are there?
a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
C: 3
One mode of terrain flight is__________________ ,and it is characterized by-
NOE: characterized by varying airspeed and as close to the earth’s surface as possible. (For NVG training, altitude is further defined as wheels or skids 0-25 ft. above terrain or vegetation).
CONTOUR: characterized by relatively constant airspeed and varying altitude. (For NVG training, altitude is further defined as wheels or skids 25-80 ft. above highest obstacle).
LOW LEVEL: characterized by relatively constant airspeed and altitude. (For NVG training, altitude is further defined as wheels or skids between 80-200 ft. above highest obstacle).
What is the primary determining factor in selection of the mode of terrain flight?
a. Mission
b. Enemy
c. Terrain & Weather
d. Troops
B: Enemy
During mission planning what is a good use for aerial photographs?
Updating maps with current information; LZ, PZ, Enemy locations, etc.
During mission planning what should be considered when designating Ingress/Egress routes?
Ingress and Egress routes should always be different if possible.
What are the four types of barriers used for terrain flight navigation?
Linear, Funnel, Point, Time/Distance
When applying the Time/Distance barrier it is necessary to know that for every 30 knots of airspeed the aircraft will travel approximately_______ KM/s per minute of flight.
One Kilometer
Which is the preferred map to use when conducting en-route planning on most long range missions?
1:250,000 JOG
What are the In-Flight contingencies that may be encountered?

A good general rule of thumb to use is: “All roads have __________ ”.
Wires
The safest place to overfly wires in a non-hostile environment is:__________________________.
Pole or Superstructure
Restricted Area in View is a dominant factor in what mode of terrain flight?_______________.
NOE
When evaluating a hydrographic feature the most important characteristic from the standpoint of visual significance is?
