Q

One mode of terrain flight is__________________ ,and it is characterized by-

A

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).

Q

When considering the use of a building depicted on the map as an aerial checkpoint, in the past a church has been a good choice due to it’s unique construction and ease of identification. Identification has become more difficult for some newly built churches as their construction has become less distinguishable. When considering the use of a church as an aerial checkpoint one that is co-located with a ___________ is a better choice as it will likely be a more traditional looking church making identification more likely.

A

cemetery
