TD-175 ✔ Martin Flashcards
- Pressing the Select button while the cursor is in Free Cursor Mode will cause an _____ ________ to appear next to the _______ _______. The ________ ______ _______ will be dependent upon the hooked item at the time the Select button is pressed.
Pressing the Multi-Function Slew Controller Select button while the cursor is in Free Cursor Mode will cause an edit menu to appear next to the hooked point. The specific menu options are dependant upon the hooked item at the time the select button is pressed.
- According to the Student Handout, ADD will be provided on the Waypoint Edit menu. Selection of ADD will provide a graphical interface for the operator to add waypoints to the ___ __ ____ _______ _______. Off-route waypoints may be selected for ____________ without the creation a new waypoint. The ADD selection will only be available if the originally selected waypoint is the ____ __________ of the flight plan.
If an off-route waypoint is hooked, the ___ __________ _________ will be removed. When SELECT is pressed from the cursor controller, a ______ ________ _______ will be drawn from the last flight plan waypoint to the potentially added waypoint (new or off-route).
Selection of ADD will provide a graphical interface for the operator to add waypoints to the end of the flight plan. Off-route waypoints may be selected for insertion without the creation of a new waypoint. The ADD selection will only be available if the originally selected waypoint is the last waypoint of the flight plan.
If an off-route waypoint is hooked, the new waypoint symbol will be removed. When SELECT is pressed from the cursor controller, a white dashed line will be drawn from the last flight plan waypoint to the potentially added waypoint (new or off-route).
- Selection of DATA will access the ________ _____ or __________ _____ menus, as appropriate, for the hooked item. The data displayed will be dependent upon the _________ _____ _________ about the symbol, graphic, or waypoint type. The Data Menu will display the data for all fields in the database for which there is valid data.
Selection of DATA will access the Symbol or Waypoint Data menus, as appropriate, for the hooked item. The data displayed will be dependent upon the available data stored about the symbol, graphic, or waypoint type. The Data Menu will display the data for all fields in the database for which there is valid data.
- According to the Student Handout, DIRECT TO will be provided on the Map , Symbol , and Waypoint Edit menus. Selection of DIRECT TO will add the hooked item into the ______ _______ _____ as the _______ __ ________. A white dashed line will be drawn from the ________ _______ ________ symbol to the future Direct To point.
DIRECT TO will be provided on the Map Edit, Symbol Edit, and Waypoint Edit menus. Selection of DIRECT TO will add the hooked item into the active flight plan as the current TO waypoint. A white dashed line will be drawn from the aircraft present position symbol to the future Direct To point.
- According to the Student Handout, INSERT will be provided on the Waypoint Edit menu. Selection of INSERT will provide a graphical interface for the operator to insert waypoints into a flight plan, ________ ___ ___________ ________ _______. Off-route waypoints may be selected for insertion ________ ___ ________ of a new waypoint. When INSERT is selected, a new waypoint symbol will be displayed at the cursor location. If an _________ waypoint is hooked, the new waypoint symbol will be removed. When SELECT is pressed from the cursor controller, white dashed line will be drawn from the __________ ________ ________ to the new waypoint (or off-route waypoint) and from the waypoint preceding the originally selected waypoint to the new waypoints.
INSERT will be provided on the Waypoint Edit menu. Selection of INSERT will provide a graphical interface for the operator to insert waypoints into a flight plan, preceding the originally selected waypoint. Off-route waypoints may be selected for insertion without the creation of a new waypoint. The INSERT function will require confirmation to complete. When INSERT is selected, a new waypoint symbol will be displayed at the cursor location. If an off-route waypoint is hooked, the new waypoint symbol will be removed. When SELECT is pressed from the cursor controller, white dashed line will be drawn from the originally selected waypoint to the new waypoint (or off-route waypoint) and from the waypoint preceding the originally selected waypoint to the new waypoints.
- MAP MARK will be provided on the Map Edit, Symbol Edit, and Waypoint Edit menus. Selection of MAP MARK will capture the _______ ______________ ________ ________ or the position of the ______ _____ in Lat/Long or MGRS and display the position in the FMS scratchpad.
MAP MARK will be provided on the Map Edit, Symbol Edit, and Waypoint Edit menus. Selection of MAP MARK will capture the current geo-referenced cursor position or the position of the hooked item in Lat/Long or MGRS and display the position in the FMS scratchpad.
- What are the three vertical separations that can be used during Multi-aircraft operations, and what are the advantages/ disadvantages to each?
Flat, stepped-up and stepped down are vertical separations.
Flat. All aircraft are flown at the same altitude. Less maneuverable if close, need more room between A/C for maneuvering.
Stepped-up. Vertical separation of 1 to 10 feet higher between lead, chalk 2, and each successive aircraft.
Wingmen are more exposed to threat during LL or Contour, and easier for chalk 2 (etc) to loose visual on lead, towards the ground.
Benefit, can scan towards ground-threat through lead A/C.
Stepped-down. Vertical separation of 1 to 10 feet lower between lead, chalk 2, and each successive aircraft.
Puts WM closer to the ground than lead - may be unsafe if NOE/ Contour. Can also experience downdraft from lead A/C.
Note. In stepped-down formation, trailing aircraft may experience wake turbulence. To avoid this turbulence, they will need to adjust their relative position. Trailing aircraft require more power to fly in this formation.
- An effective AMC (Air Mission Commander) is a leader and manager who conducts the mission in a decisive and highly professional manner. What are the six responsibilities of an AMC as described in FM 3-04.203?
He or she begins by establishing a logical order of priorities and formulating a plan. The AMC will also:
- Use all available resources to gather pertinent data for the mission.
- Be assertive and communicate the plan and intentions.
- Encourage open communication so each crewmember is comfortable expressing their views.
- Listen carefully to inputs provided and consider them individually.
- Make sound decisions based on all factors; however, be willing to modify his position if someone advocates a better plan of action.
- Resolve conflicts as they arise within the crew or flight, and seek mission accomplishment through harmonious relations within the flight.
