The CO may authorize takeoffs from runways with less than ______ of takeoff distance available but no less than the ____________ if warranted by ____________ and after a thorough risk assessment is completed.

Answer 12

5000’
Accelerate-stop distance

Answer 13

1000’
Static Takeoff Procedure

Question 14

Propeller reversing shall not be used below ______ during normal or simulated emergency operations.

Answer 14

Answer 15

taxiing on or crossing an active runway

Question 16

Sterile Cockpit

Answer 16

No unnecessary conversation other than what is required for safety during critical phases of flight (taxi, takeoff, approach, and landing). In effect until passing 6000’ AGL or reaching cruise altitude on takeoff and when descending through 6000’ AGL to commence an approach to landing.

Question 17

Prior to pulling condition levers to low idle for engine run-ups, ensure environmental switches are in _______ to ensure the A/C breaker doesn’t pop.

Answer 17

OFF/AUTO

Question 18

Climb check shall not be performed below _____ AGL. If not requestted by _____ AGL, they shall be prompted by the PM.

Answer 18

1000; 3000

Question 19

The approach checklist with normally be conducted when passing through ________, or on call by the PF, followed by a _______ _______ until the aircraft has safely landed.

Answer 19

6000’ AGL; sterile cockpit

Question 20

Touch-and-Go ditty for PM

Answer 20

“Props, Flaps, Trim, Trim, Trim”

Ensure props are full forward, raise the flaps, and reset trim for takeoff.

Question 21

Go-Around Flow for PF

Answer 21

Pickle (G/A button)
Power (Stand them up and direct PM to set takeoff power)
Props (Ensure full forward)
Pitch (Establish positive ROC)
Flaps (Down to Approach if applicable)
Gear (UP after two positive rates)
Flaps (UP)

That’s the G in GSNAP, don’t forget to execute the Go-Around PROCEDURE before moving on to SNAP (multi-crew; direct PM to assist)

Question 22

For the UC-12F a Stable Approach is defined as (4 criteria)

Answer 22

1. Airspeed: Vref as defined by the flap consideration up to 140 KIAS
2. Configuration: Landing checklist complete (except flaps down and AP/YD) by the FAF.
3. Lateral deviations < one dot for a non-precision approach, < 5 bearings for an NDB approach, and no “well left” or “right of course” calls if on an ASR or PAR.
4. Vertical deviations less than one dot above or below and no “well above” or “well below” calls on a PAR.

Question 23

IMC Stable Approach

Answer 23

1. Depart the FAF configured with gear down and flaps approach
2. Airspeed variations < 10 knots
3. Approach power set
4. Stable flight path before descending below the minimum stabilized approach height of 1000’ above the airport elevation at a descent rate of no greater than 1000 fpm unless specifically briefed.

Question 24

VMC Stable Approach

Answer 24

Configured for landing with a stable flight path and power setting before descending below 500’ above airport elevation at a descent rate of no greater than 1000 fpm unless specifically briefed.
