TD 54 Flashcards
When is the VOR or TACAN symbol displayed on the MFD’s ND page or PFD ARC display? How can I determine the aircraft’s position relative to the station of the NAVAID or the active FMS waypoint?
Additional radio navigation station position/bearing symbology is presented when the selected navigation source is either TACAN or VOR. You can determine your position by referencing the moving map or by using the VOR needle distance and direction if paired.
When flying a non-copter approach, what airspeed can the approach be flown? When flying a copter instrument approach procedure, what is the maximum airspeed for any segment of the approach?
The helicopter may initiate the final approach segment at speeds up to the upper limit of the highest Approach Category authorized by the procedure, but must be slowed to no more than 90 KIAS at the MAP in order to apply the visibility reduction.
What are stressors? What are the types of stressors?
A stressor is any stimulus or event that requires an individual to adjust or adapt in some way— emotionally, physiologically, or behaviorally. Types of stressors: PSYCHOSOCIAL, ENVIROMENTAL, PHYSIOLOGICAL (SELF-IMPOSED)
What is job stress and how can it affect aviators?
Regardless of job assignment, carrying out assigned duties often produces stress. Conflict in the workplace, low morale and unit cohesion, boredom, fatigue, overtasking, and poorly defined responsibilities all are potential debilitating job stressors.
In addition to bearing information, what else does a TACAN provide?
In addition to the displayed bearing information, TACAN adds a continuous display of range information. DME, an integral part of TACAN, provides continuous slant-range distance information.
Upon reaching a holding fix or point to which cleared in a non-military terminal area, what reports are required to ATC?
The time and altitude or flight level upon reaching a holding fix or point to which cleared.
When conducting a practice approach tower clears you for the option. What are you authorized to perform when cleared for the option?
ATC authorization for an aircraft to make a touch-and-go, low approach, missed approach, stop and go, or full stop landing at the discretion of the pilot.
