When must you wear a visor?
before canopy lowers and during all phases of flight
When are g suits required?
anytime more than 2 Gs is expected
Can solo students take an aircraft requiring an operational check?
No
What four ways will you avoid FOD?
Not approach operating engine, avoid using excessive power, avoid prop or jet blast from other aircraft, ensure loose items are secure in cockpit
How do solo students communicate that the pin is removed and stowed
They contact the controlling agency (cooter in our case)
Do solo students have to stop the aircraft prior to reinstalling the pin?
Yes, after clearing the runway
what are the taxiing intervals?
75 feet staggered, 150 feet in trail
can you taxi if snow or ice is adhering to the runway?
no you must wait unitl all portions have been checked for safe operations
what is taxi spacing with snow or ice on runway?
300 feet
joker fuel
transition fuel to terminate an event
bingo fuel
return with normal recovery fuel
normal recovery fuel
fuel on intial or at the final approach fix, 200 pounds or what is established locally - whatever is higher
when do you declare minimum or emergency fuel
when it becomes apparent you will touch down with less than that amount of fuel (150 lbs for regular sorties or 200 lbs for solo, 100 lbs emergency fuel)
what should you do in addition to declaring minimum or emergency fuel?
add fuel status and amount of fuel remaining in minutes to each new ATC facility. Once in pattern, add it to all calls
what is minimum runway length and width?
4000 feet long by 75 feet wide
when may the length and width minimums for runway be waved?
when ops group commanders waive for NTA low approaches down to 3000 by 50 feet
when can you not begin the final turn in regards to a straight in?
when the straight in has reported 2 miles (except when you have them in sight, can make a normal final turn, and maintain spacing)
spacing before beginning taking off behind another aircraft?
previous aircraft is airborne or 3000 feet down runway
do not begin final turn if
a straight in is in sight and you cannot maintain normal spacing behind them
do not cross threshold to land unless preceding aircraft
airborne, clear of runway, or 3000 feet down when alternating sides used and similar aircraft
