Question 1

Alpha departure (departure to remain in RTC)

Answer 1

Rwy 25 - climb on rwy track to 2000ft QNH, on passing 1700ft turn right 050°, contact app/dir stud4/5

Rwy 07 - details given in case by case due Cwl/Wad

Question 2

LL Entry Checks

Answer 2

V - visors down
L - lights IAW day/night EO procedure
A - altimeter RPS set, LHW set
R - radios(LL) and Radar(20nm,70/70,4bar)
M - map correct range
S - squawk, 7001/as directed if with ATC unit

Question 3

Radar Trail Departure

Answer 3

RTD should be flown as below:
- All ac are to use 45°AoB to fly Dep Proc ground track, avoid early turns
-20 sec stream achieves a 2nm trail, use overtake to close if req’d, monitoring Vc and AF to achieve range.
-Do Not place the VV on the TD box to avoid collision if closure is generated inadvertently
-Wingmen must fly within 1nm to be a ‘standard formation’. If the formation requires more spacing or has >2 ac, a non standard formation must be requested with ATC
-MIDS PPLIa are only to be used to enhance SA, not to be used independently to guarantee safe separation
-Lag RoT for RTD/A & Shadowing, should be used in turns. At 0.7M lag turns by 7°/nm eg 14° at 2nm. At instrument pattern speeds (<300) lag by 14°/nm

Question 4

Break parameters CGY

Answer 4

350-400KDAS
1000ft at initial, then 800-1000ft for break
(1500ft may be enforced if bbmf circuit active)

Question 5

SFT limits

Answer 5

Flight below 10kft, above 600Kdas is prohibited with U/W SFTs fitted and fuel in either SFT >500kgs (unless operationally essential)
