Td46 Flashcards
What can help minimize and prevent spatial disorientation?
Never fly without visual reference points
Trust the instruments. Don’t fly VMC and IMC at the same time
Avoid fatigue, smoking, hypoglycemia, and anxiety, all of which intensify illusions.
How does a pilot’s experience affect susceptibility to spatial disorientation (SD)?
Refer to the instruments and develop a good cross-check.
Delay intuitive actions long enough to check both visual references and the instruments.
Transfer control to the other pilot (if two pilots are in the aircraft); rarely will both pilots experience SD at the same time.
Type 1: unrecognized
Type 2: recognized
Type 3: incapacitating
An individuals inability to determine his position, attitude and motion relative to the surface of the earth at a hover
During terrain flight planning, what is the primary criteria to consider for route selection?
The enemy tactical situation, second is ease of navigation
Terrain flight is a tactic that uses ———-to mask the aircraft from ———-detection systems.
terrain, vegetation and man-made objects
visual, optical, thermal and electronic
How does the Upturned Exhaust System (UES) enhance aircraft survivability?
The UES enhances aircraft survivability by significantly suppressing the infrared (IR) signature of the engines. The UES is a modular replacement for the standard exhaust tail cone or the IHIRSS. The main components of the UES are a lobed exhaust nozzle, a baffled exhaust duct, and an insulated chimney fairing that directs exhaust gases upward through the rotor system, preventing line-of-sight viewing of the engine’s IR signature.
Your UES equipped UH-60M aircraft with an ATF of .95 is tasked with transporting 11 fully equipped combat paratroopers from Lowe Army Airfield to RT 212 which is 20NM away. Your aircraft GWT prior to picking up the paratroopers is 16,500lb with 2300lbs of fuel. RT 212 is at a PA of 7000ft with a FAT of 30 degrees C. Will you be able to transport all of the paratroopers in one trip? What will be some considerations when landing into the RT?
Yes. Winds, if only have one engine cannot hover
The map will automatically enter static mode once the ___becomes active. Static mode allows for ____ and ____ of the digital map underlay.
Free cursor, zooming, panning
According to the Student Handout, MOVE will be provided on the Symbol Edit and Waypoint Edit menus. Selection of MOVE will activate the symbol or waypoint move function. When moving a symbol, positioning the cursor at a ___ and pressing the MFSC Select button will cause a ____ of the symbol to be placed at that location in ___. BE PREPARED TO DISCUSS.
