Proper tilt management
|
|

Radar, in the NAP (Normal Antenna Position) if returns disappear at X miles how much higher or lower that your aircraft is the cell?
|
at 30 miles, its 12,000 ft below you
Airborne Weather Radar pg 78 |
|
|
Radar, any return that works it way inside the ground return is mostly likely what?
|
Weather
Airborne Weather Radar pg 78 |
|
|
Radar, there is a difference between a radar top and the actual top of the cell, what is the difference?
|
20% higher. If its 30,000 then the cell is actually (potentially) 36,000
|
|
|
Radar, anytime NAP (Normal Antenna Position) what should you do periodically?
|
Sweep lower for potential building cells
Airborne Weather Radar 78 |
|
|
What is the symbol for Thunder?
|
Looks like an "R" when there is a symbol on top it depicts precipitation
|
|
|
Radar, what is the formula to know where the center of your radar beam is pointed?
also, how about the top and bottom of the beam? |
Center of beam is located = Tilt * Distance * 100
1% = 1,000 ft at 10 miles, 2,000 ft at 20 miles etc. The width formula is width * Distance * 100 So we can use 4 (1/2 the beam) * 30 * 100 = 12,000 feet above and 12,000 below |
|
|
Radar, what is the TUT position?
|
Tilt Up Technique
|
|
|
Radar, what is the TIP position and degrees?
|
Threat Identification Position... + 4 degrees, bottom of the beam is parallel to the ground. Used the look for threats above your position.
|
|
|
Radar, what is the NAP position and degrees
|
Normal Antenna Position.... Zero degree's. The center of the beam is level with your aircraft. Used in cruise. Periodically scan for build ups.
|
|
|
What is the checklist at the 500 ft call out?
|
Use the flow
Gear Flaps Speed Brakes Pressurization Stable |
|
|
On an approach into Midway I got an ILS approach where the controller asked me to go to a fix that was on the plate but was not an IAF, so it wasn't listed in the Garmin... what to do?
|
Do not use vectors to final.
Pull up one of the IAF and load it Then in the flight plan it will have all the fixes... Go direct to the one they gave you |
|
|
How high to be above the build ups, what is the formula?
|
For every 10 knots of wind at that altitude, be 1,000 feet above.
|
|
|
When you get your taxi clearance what should you get in the habit of doing?
|
Turn the heading bug to the runway heading, so when you line up, if that is not aligned you are on the wrong runway
|
|
|
In the hazardous attitudes, what are the two I's
|
1. Impulsivity -- Do something quickly
2. Invulnerability -- It won't happen to me |
|
|
What is a good place to find sunrise and sunset information?
|
Airnav has it listed
|
|
|
If on a 3 degree glide slope what is the VSI formula?
|
Airspeed times 5
|
|
|
What is a good way to control climb and airspeed when you are under class bravo airspace
|
Use airspeed climb setting on the autopilot, and as you level off use the throttle to maintain the climb rate
|
|
|
What are the three things you need to know to calculate landing speeds and climb gradients?
|
Temperature, Altitude, Weight
|
|
|
What is the definition of Vx
|
Altitude over distance
maximize the altitude gain per unit ground distance. The mustang is flaps and 105 knots |
|
|
What is the definition of Vy
|
Altitude over time. maximize the altitude gain per unit time. Mustang is flaps and 150 knots
|
|
|
What is the day light saving on the Pacific coast in the summer and what is a good way to remember
|
7 UTC Seven = Summer
|
|
|
What is the formula to figure out what my climb per minute needs to be when the DP says climb at 600 ft per mile and my ground speed is 150 Knots?
|
(ground speed / 60 ) * how many feet they want you to climb per mile. So ground speed in (150 / 60 ) * 600 ft = 1,500 ft per minute
|
|
|
How do you calculate the descent formula
|
1. Calculate speed per minute = GS/60
2. How many minutes before I reach the airport = Distance/1 3. VSI required = How High / 2 300/60 = 5 100/5 = 20 20000/20 = 1000 ft per minute |
