Takeoff/Departure/Area Basics Flashcards
BINGO fuel provides sufficient fuel, when arriving via the furthest radar drop off point, to arrive where at in the pattern and with how much gas?
arrive where?: Initial
with how much fuel?: 200#
How much will BINGO fuel change for solo studs?
Solo studs will add 100# to the BINGO fuel amount.
What is pattern fuel and touchdown fuel?
“Pattern” fuel is a SOF established fuel status in which crews should plan on arriving at initial with that amount of fuel. Crews may elect to continue with pattern ops as long as they touchdown with at least the SOF prescribed “touchdown” fuel amount.
What are the reasons to abort a takeoff? (there are seven)
- Any master caution or warning lights
- FF > 800#
- Departing a Prepared Surface
- Chip light
- Prop strike
- Fire
- Anytime you, as the pilot, feel it is warranted
You’ve landed/aborted and you have 800’ of RWY left, what airspeed do you need to be at to stop in time?
approx. 85 KIAS
For the second sortie of your initial solo quick turn, what is min fuel for taxi and takeoff?

Which of these constitutes IFR clearance under RAPCON (i.e. when does RAPCON assume responsibility for you?):
1) “Blade XX, Radar contact”
2) “Blade XX, Climb and maintain one-four-thousand”
#2 The phrase "radar contact" doesn't constitute an IFR clearance.
In order to avoid the noise abatement zone when departing RWY 33R…
1) what heading do you turn to
2) when do you turn to that heading
3) where are you going after that
1) 010
2) at or no later than 1/2 NM past departure end
3) once past housing area proceed direct to SPS 030/09. This is approx. a 360 heading
You are flying the Stereo I to the Shep I MOA and have leveled off at 14,000 MSL. You were cleared to area 4 low a while back.
1) Do you need to continue on the stereo route?
2) When can you climb or descend into the vertical limits of your assigned area?
1) No, once level at 14,000’ MSL you can now proceed direct to the lateral boundaries (DME) of your assigned area at 14,000’ MSL.
2) You can climb or descend into vertical boundaries once you are within the lateral boundaries of your assigned area.
During the departure, what clearance must you receive in order to proceed direct to your assigned area while climbing or descending to any altitude within the vertical limits of that area?
“Blade XX, cleared direct, intermediate level off”
If entering the areas from below, via radar vectors (from Hacker or Lawton), and you get this clearance:
“Blade XX, climb and maintain 8,000”
Are you authorized to climb into your area once within it’s lateral boundaries?
No!!! You must get specific clearance such as, "Blade XX, cleared into area X low" "Blade XX, cleared to fly area X low" in order for you to legally climb into the areas vertical boundaries...
If entering the areas from below, via radar vectors (from Hacker or Lawton), and you get this clearance:
“Blade XX, cleared direct, intermediate level off (or unrestricted climb) area X low”
Are you authorized to climb into your area immediately?
Yes!
What are the altitude blocks for the low and high areas of the Shep I MOA?
High: 15,500 - 22,000 MSL
Low: 8,500 - 13,500 MSL
Which area has an upper limit of 20,000’ MSL?
Area 13
With a local area altimeter setting of less than 29.92 the tops of the areas are ______ MSL (______ MSL for area 13).
21,000’ MSL
19,000’ MSL for area 13
The ____ altimeter setting will be used when working in the area regardless of altitude.
Local
T-6 A/C will terminate their IFR clearance while working in the ShepI/II MOAs but will then regain the IFR clearance during the FENCE out check.
T or F?
False
T-6 aircraft operating in the Sheppard I/II MOAs will maintain their IFR clearance.
At what distance from the radar drop-off point (Bridge/Deans) can you cancel you IFR clearance?
No more than 5 NM
If cleared direct to Deans you should stay (East or West) of Orchard and Pond.
East
A clearance to an altitude above/below the area is clearance to depart the lateral limits of the area and proceed to the radar drop-off point.
T or F?
False
A clearance to an altitude above/below the area is NOT a clearance to depart the lateral limits of the area.
What airspeed should you maintain while proceeding to the radar drop-off point?
200 Knots
What is the radio call you will make to Cooter when holding short of their RWY and ready to takeoff?
“Cooter, (call sign), number one, (static).”
When would you include the word “static” to the read-back takeoff clearance radio call?
YOU: “Blade XX, cleared for static takeoff RWY 15L.”
Add “static” if directed to by Cooter.
i.e. if you didn’t request a static takeoff but Cooter says “cleared static takeoff”, then you add static to your read-back.

Ch 10 for Shep II
About how many miles would it take to gain 13,000’ if you were climbing at a constant airspeed of 160 KIAS?
13 NM

3) What will the call out be?
1) Climb Check
2) OBOGS - CHECK
Defog Switch - Verify position
Vent control lever - Verify position
Cabin Pressurization - Check
