Speed on Surv Flashcards
Min speed on surv is….
1.5 Vs
“Loiter speeds” used for shadowing is 1.5Vs to…
maintain a body angle which is acceptable to the radar’s
stabilization system.
During photography passes
the speed abeam a vessel is to be
> 1.5Vs and <1.5Vs+25kts
AOB on serv. is restricted to..
= 30 degrees @DAYVMC or 25 degrees/rate one below LSALT @night / @IMC or 15 degrees below 500 feet
During photography passes the aircraft should be stable on HDG and ATT by
One (1) NM of the vessel.
ROD <1500’ ASL @night/@IMC must be
= 500’/min
ROD <1000’ ASL @DAYVMC must be
= 500’/min
primary altitude
reference bellow 500’ is..
RADALT
Prior to surveillance, the RA DH is to set to MOA (min op alt) WHY?
Because this sets a valid reference heights for re-activation of the GPWS
in the O’RIDE mode!
The minumum MOA by @DayVMC is 200 feet as indicated by….
…. the lower of the pressure altimeter or the radio altimeter
Caveat to @minMOA200’ if RADALT is U/S
Serveilance must be >5000/LSALT by @DayVMC / anyother time!
Descent to MOA is permited only once aircraft has been established at…
MDA
MDA varies by
time and conditions
@DayIMC
MDA is 1000’.
If not in VMC by 1000’, a climb to LSALT must be initiated. If the aircraft is in VMC by 1000’ Descent to MOA of 200’ is permitted.
MDA by @Night
The MDA is 2000’
if the not in VMC by 2000’, a climb to LSALT must be initiated.
If the in @VMC by 2000’
decent to MOA of 600’ under certain conditions.
