Who is responsible for the management of the throttle?
The PF does not relinquish control of the power levers to the PNF. The PNF is limited to assisting the PF by setting and maintaining the take-off power as directed. During take-off roll, if there is a need to abort the takeoff, the PF will retard the throttles.

b. During the descent from 10,000 ft or the en route altitude for phase of flight, into the terminal area for
the approach and landing, then through engine shutdown.
Descents greater than _____ FPM will be announced and acknowledged.
Descents greater than 3000 FPM will be announced and acknowledged.
The following approach deviations will be called out by the PNF. The PF will verbally acknowledge and respond with corrective action.
(1) Greater than one dot deviation on a Localizer, VOR, TACAN, or GPS approach.
(2) Greater than one dot deviation on a glideslope.
(3) Greater than five degrees (5°) deviations on a NDB approach.
(4) Airspeed ±10 knots from approach speed. Rate of descent greater than 1000 FPM.

RNAV Approach, satisfy the Precision Approach requirement when flown to an LPV or
LNAV/VNAV DA/DH?
Yes
Who has overall responsibility for the crew briefing?
The PC
What is Equal Time Point (ETP)?
A point computed between the departure airfield and the destination airfield along the
route based on:
(a) An engine failure at the most critical point en route.
(b) A descent to the highest altitude permissible based on the aircraft gross weight at the
ETP.
(c) A continuation at this altitude at optimum single engine cruise.
What is Point of Safe Return (PSR)?
The furthest point along the route of flight to which an aircraft can fly and still return
safely to the point of departure with the planned fuel reserve.
What is Point of No Return (PNR)?
The last point along the flight path to where an aircraft can fly and return to the point of
departure and land with no fuel remaining.
In reference to the TOLD Card, pressure altitudes should normally be rounded to the next higher ________ ft PA?
When referencing charted information, pressure altitudes should normally be rounded to the next higher 500 ft PA
(example 1800 ft PA rounded to 2000 ft PA).
Takeoff field lengths may only be averaged if what is true?
Takeoff field lengths may only be averaged if V1 speeds are the same.
True or False: Tailwind component must be computed and applied for all TOLD calculations.
True
If the available runway length is less than the required takeoff field length, what must be done?
the aircraft weight must be reduced until this requirement can be met.
Stopways may be used during calculations, but clearways cannot since the data does not distinguish between items 1through 3 above.
True or False: The TOLD card will be recomputed if the temperature
increases or decreases by 10 ºC or greater.
True
What items of the TOLD must be complete during an evaluation?
TOLD card with items 1 through 25, at a minimum, will be completed for all
evaluations.
What is the PCs responsibility regarding Weight and Balance?
The PC will verify that the aircraft will remain within the allowable limits for the entire flight.
What class aircraft is the UC-35?
The UC-35 is weight and balance Class 2 IAW AR 95-1.
When conducting preflight at night, are there any recommendations on the flashlight being used?
use a flashlight with an unfiltered lens to supplement available lighting.
Hydraulic leaks, oil leaks, and other defects are difficult to see using a flashlight with a colored lens.
During cold weather operations, what are some special attention considerations to look out for during preflight?
Special attention should be given to all vents, openings, control surfaces, hinge points, and wing, tail, and fuselage surfaces for accumulation of snow and ice. Removal of ice, snow and frost accumulation is required
prior to takeoff.
