T-6 Flying Status

Question 1

Wing Solo

Answer 1

a. Minimum AGL ceiling and visibility — (2500-3).
b. Minimum inflight visibility of 5 miles.
c. Formation solos will remain clear of clouds.
d. Contact solos must remain in Sunfish pattern.

Question 2

Pattern Solo

Answer 2

a. Minimum AGL ceiling and visibility — (2500-3).
b. Minimum inflight visibility of 5 miles.
c. Weather permits VFR pattern operations, including breakout and re-entry
d. Solo students must remain in Sunfish pattern.

Question 3

Dual

Answer 3

a. Minimum AGL ceiling and visibility — (2500-3).
b. No student solo permitted airborne.
c. Weather permits VFR pattern operations, including breakout and re-entry.

Question 4

Restricted Overhead

Answer 4

a. Minimum pattern AGL ceiling and visibility — (1500-3) (2000-3 required for LK)
b. Minimum AGL ceiling and visibility to enter pattern via MARBLE or STENNIS — (2100-3)
c. Pattern entry made via straight-in from radar termination point, initial takeoff, or closed / crosswind from the center runway.
d. Eight aircraft maximum in the RSU pattern.
e. No breakouts. Pattern straight-ins require Sup, SOF, and RAPCON coordination.

Question 5

Contact Recoveries

Answer 5

a. Minimum pattern AGL ceiling and visibility — (1500-3) (1600-3 over radar termination).
b. Plan on reporting initial for the active runway (may request straight-in from radar termination, if desired). Cancel IFR no later than radar termination.
c. Tower controlled pattern — four aircraft maximum.
d. No breakouts or ELPs; minimize VFR patterns (3 max).
e. Follow TWR instructions for pattern spacing. Make all pattern requests w/TWR (e.g. x-wind turn & closed req).

Question 6

VFR straight-in

Answer 6

a. Minimum AGL ceiling and visibility — (1500-3).
b. Minimum AGL ceiling and visibility to enter pattern via MARBLE or STENNIS — (2100-3).
c. Pattern entry made via straight-in from radar termination and all landings will be to a full stop.

Question 7

IFR Recovery

Answer 7

a. Minimum ceiling and visibility: Published minimums for the circling approaches to the inside runway — 13R / 31L.
b. Fly published circling approach to a circle for full-stop on the inside runway (13R/31L).

Question 8

Slots

Answer 8

a. Minimum ceiling and visibility: Lowest compatible approach minimums.
b. Plan recovery to land within designated landing window.
c. Plan all approaches to a full stop. Coordinate radar delays, multiple approaches and cross-country / out and backs through SUP to the SOF.
