What does the Level 2 Ice ACAWS indicate?
Ice detector probes have accumulated the equivalent of approximately ½ inch of ice on the wings. If the message remains on for longer than 45 or pops up frequently you could have much more severe icing than ½ inch p/45 sec.
At pressure altitudes above 3,000ft, what restriction applies to operating with engine anti-ice prior to takeoff?
Operate with engine anti-ice on for 3 mins prior to adding full T/O power which reduces the possibility of MGT HI. You can even turn off Cargo AC Pack and underfloor heat to lessen the possibility of MGT HI

187KIAS below 10,000ft
At what airspeed is the wing/empennage system enabled, and in what scenario is any airspeed sufficient?
Pilots airspeed is greater than 60KIAS. Failure of the selected DADS enables the system regardless of airspeed
From which turbine stage is the bleed air for the engine and nacelle anti-ice system supplied?
Bleed air usually come from the 10th Stage but when average engine power settings are below 1,000HP will supplement bleed air until power is restored to 1,100HP
When should the engine anti-icing system be manually selected to on?
must be on for taxi and takeoff when operating in visible moisture with an ambient temperature of 10C or less
If the Wing/Empennage system is ON in Anti-Ice Mode, how does the BAECS ensure adequate bleed air supply to the anti-icing system?
Bleed air usually come from the 10th Stage but when average engine power settings are below 1,000HP will supplement bleed air until power is restored to 1,100HP

initial climbing turn toward the landing runway then maneuver shortest direction for missed approach procedures or instructions given must be followed
What is the minimum altitude for fuel dumping? What should you do if forced to dump lower?
when practicable should be above 6000AGL, if unable should make every effort not to dump over populated areas and alert ATC of “adjusting gross weight”
What OAT and water temps require the crew to be provided anti-exposure suits? Who decides when they are to be worn?
Water temp 50F or below, OAT is 32F and below (windchill should be considered)
What two altitudes should you consider descending through with a loss of pressurization?

What is the Formation Contract?
1) lead leads
2) wingman is in charge of separation from lead
3) wingman clears the 6 o’clock position
4) all speeds will be referenced as indicated airspeeds
5) lead announces unplanned airspeed changes greater than 15kias
6) lead/wingmen announce unexpected encounters with atmospheric or threat based mission degraders
7) in lieu of a briefed rejoin plan, lead will use distance-to-go to a specific waypoint along the flight path and MSL altitude to ID rejoin points for reassembling the formations
What is expected to be complete by “Man Time”?
GPS/INS aligned, ATIS inputted, primary inter-plane frequency tuned
What is the minimum formation landing interval, day and night?
30 seconds/4000’ (.7nm) for the day, 6,000’ (1nm) at night
What are the two formation flight regimes and their vertical/lateral separation?
Cruise - 20’-3000 (.5nm) with 500’ vertically
Tactical - 3000’(.5nm) - 3nm vertical separation mission/brief dependent
What constitutes an ATC standard formation? If deviating from standard due to weather, what must be obtained from ATC?
1nm and 100’ and must notify ATC if formation will be non-standard. If keeping formation integrity lead will request an altitude block from ATC and use the RADAR to keep separation. Another option would be to dissolve the formation and get separate squawks for both of the aircraft through ATC.
What is the takeoff interval for single runway ops in formation?
15 secs or when the preceding aircraft rotates whatever happens first ANTTP
What are some factors to consider when formulating inadvertent weather penetration plan?
1) elements of the formation who are operating using VFR should remain VMC
2) proximity to the terrain along the route
3) Wx type encountered
4) separation criteria (lateral, vertical, or climb rates)
5) Aircraft should never cross each other’s vertical or horizontal plane when in IMC
6) rejoin plan
7) WX abort criteria
8) lost sight call and intentions, if other than briefed
If completing a planned weather penetration, the formation should be in radar trail. What are the parameters for radar trail and what calls should the lead aircraft make in climbs/descents?
.5nm separation between each aircraft with 500 step up for descents, 500 step up or down when level, 500 step down during the climbs. Lead will give all turns based off a radial and DME so that the rest of the formation trail turns at the same point in space to keep separation.
What are “Turns Away” and “Turns Into”.
Turns into means you will have ot full power because you will have to descend slightly to turn on the same axis as leads as well as being inside the turn radius of lead requiring slower speeds. Expect an increase in power as you roll out of the turn.
Turns away, you should place lead on the horizon and you will turn on your own axis. The same visual points will work but they will appear a little bit different due to being in a turn. Expect power increase while rolling in and keeping higher speed than lead due to larger turn radius, and to pull a little power as you roll out of the turn.
When is an Underrun warranted? Explain the procedure
Anytime an unsafe situation develops during formation in the STEPPED DOWN profile (such as closure rate/angle/bearing line). Level wings, idle power, lower nose and get safe separation and then make the call underrun. After the situation becomes stable wing must ask lead to rejoin the formation, usually on the outer edge of the turn
When is the Buffer Stop Assembly put in place? What can be used if no BSA is available.
Anytime CDS loads exceed 5,000lbs, can use E-BSA (expendable buffer stop assembly) which is basically cardboard with tie downs.

10 MIN checklist
You are planning a slowdown to an AD. What speed does the CNI-MU use? What speed should you use for a climbing, level and descending slowdown?
The CNI-MU uses 1.5 kts/sec but we should use 2 kts/sec when level, 1.5 kts/sec when descending, and 2.5 kts/sec while climbing
When conducting paratroop door LLSL operations, what is the maximum number of static lines per anchor cable?
Each static line can have a maximum of 20 lines per anchor
What is the maximum number of parachutists out the paratroop doors for training? Combat? Ramp-and-door?

What are the oxygen requirements for MFF?
Supplemental Oxygen should be available anytime above 10,000 but below 13,000 for parachutist. Aircrew must have oxygen mask on anytime cabin is above 10,000. Pre-breathing 100% oxygen is required anytime planning to go above 20,000’ and must be done before passing through 16,000’.
