Td56 Flashcards
- While planning for an IFR flight you get an area forecast that reports visibility and ceiling as IFR. What is considered IFR visibility and ceiling and what are the other Categorical Outlooks and the associated visibility and ceilings for each category?
Categorical outlook terms, describing general ceiling and visibility conditions for advanced
planning purposes are used only in area forecasts and are defined as follows:
1. LIFR (Low IFR). Ceiling less than 500 feet and/or visibility less than 1 mile.
2. IFR. Ceiling 500 to less than 1,000 feet and/or visibility 1 to less than 3 miles.
3. MVFR (Marginal VFR). Ceiling 1,000 to 3,000 feet and/or visibility 3 to 5 miles inclusive.
4. VFR. Ceiling greater than 3,000 feet and visibility greater than 5 miles; includes sky clear
. The GH-3001 ESIS provides the pilots with a visual display of ______and _____ attitude, ________, ________, ___________, _________ and __________ indications as a backup to the helicopter’s Primary Flight Display (PFD). Where is the slip/skid indicator located on the ESIS display?
Slip/Skid indica-tor White rectangle located below the roll pointer indicating degree of helicopter trim.
When operating in standalone configuration, the ESIS can operate for a minimum of ____________ using the system’s battery.
Emergency power is provided for a minimum of 30 minutes by the ESIS battery which is charged through the helicopter electrical system through the STBY BATT circuit breaker.
Where is the list of minimum equipment required for flight in the UH-60M found?
AWR 1726 (list supporting table 5-2 in AR 95-1)
When climbing to altitude, should a crewmember perform a valsalva maneuver during the ascent?
The crewmember also can perform the normal Valsalva maneuver during slow descent to the ground.
Note. To avoid over-pressurization of the middle ear, crewmembers should never attempt a Valsalva maneuver during ascent
What does the bold solid line around the NAVAID in the plan view symbolize?
Primary Navaid for the approach
- You are flying IFR to Montgomery Regional airport and ATIS reports that you can expect the visual approach. What is a visual approach and what are the visibility and cloud clearance requirements?
A visual approach is conducted on an IFR flight plan and authorizes a pilot to proceed visually and clear of clouds to the airport. The pilot must have either the airport or the preceding identified aircraft in sight. This approach must be authorized and controlled by the appropriate air traffic control facility. Reported weather at the airport must have a ceiling at or above 1,000 feet and visibility 3 miles or greater. ATC may authorize this type approach when it will be operationally beneficial. Visual approaches are an IFR procedure conducted under IFR in visual meteorological conditions. Cloud clearance
requirements of 14 CFR Section 91.155 are not applicable, unless required by operation specifications.
Why is Wiregrass VORTAC located on a concentric ring within the plan view?
It’s a feeder route within the Terminal Arrival Area
