TD 41 Flashcards
How is Class C airspace depicted on the VFR sectional and what are its dimensions?
2-tiered upside down wedding cake.
5 NM Core, surface to 4000’
10 NM Shelf, 1200’ - 4000’
What equipment is required to operate in the Class C airspace? Is it mandatory to contact ATC prior to entrance?
2-way radio, transponder with automatic altitude reporting capability ADS-B out.
Must contact, but do not need clearance.
Class B airspace on the VFR is depicted as:
Upside down wedding cake, 3 tiers.
What’s required to operate within the boundaries of Class B Airspace VFR?
2-way radio to communicate with ATC. Transponder with ADS-B out.
How is a Terminal Radar Service Area (TRSA) depicted on the VFR sectional and is it mandatory to contact ATC prior to entrance?
Not mandatory to contact.
Solid black line with altitude for each section.
Class D portion is charged with a blue segmented line.
What altitude do you evaluate OGE GO/NO-GO torque and what does exceeding it indicate?
3 ft hover in direction of take off.
Exceeding indicates aircraft too heavy to perform OGE maneuvers.
Predicted hover torque on the PPC verifies what item on the hover power check?
Aircraft gross weight, and sufficient power for the mission.
a. What does height/velocity convey to the pilot?
b. When should you enter “none” on the PPC HV altitude block?
a. Minimum altitude at a stationary hover from which a safe landing can be made j the event of a single engine failure
b. When H/V = 0
When must the pilot compute arrival data?
Increase of 5° C, 500 ft PA, or 200 lbs
Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness
In helicopters, Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness (LTE), or unanticipated yaw, is an un-commanded rapid yaw that does not subside of its own accord and which, if not quickly reacted to, can result in loss of aircraft control.
LTE can occur in all tail rotor equipped helicopters at airspeeds lower than 30 knots
