pg. 17 |
Vis and ceiling
|
|
|
How do we calculate fuel reserves?
pg. 17-18 |
10% of flight time (up to 45 minutes) or 20 minutes, whichever is greater
|
|
|
What altitude and airspeed do we calculate fuel reserves at?
pg. 18 |
10,000 ft MSL, max endurance
|
|
|
When do we have to declare minimum/emergency fuel to ATC?
pg. 18 |
When it becomes apparent that the aircraft may land at the intended destination with less than the min/emergency fuel reserve
|
|
|
Flight in IMC requires what equipment?
pg. 22 |
Pitot heat, anti-ice and/or deicing equipment that can cope with the type and severity of known or forcast icing
|
|
|
What do you need for an IFR flight?
pg. 22 |
Two way radio and navigation equipment compatible with the airspace where the operations occur
|
|
|
What is the maximum airspeed below 10,000' MSL?
pg. 39 |
250 KIAS
|
|
|
What are the airspeed restrictions associated with class C and D airspace?
pg. 39 |
200 KIAS at or below 2,500' AGL within 4NMs of airport unless authorized by ATC or required to maintain a minimum safe maneuvering airspeed specified in the T.O.
|
|
|
When do we have to report "gear down" to ATC or runway supervisory unit?
pg. 43 |
Prior to crossing the runway threshold
|
|
|
What are the VFR cloud clearances in Class B/C/D?
pg. 61 |
B - 3SMs clear of clouds
C/D - 3SMs, 500' below, 1000' above, 2000' horizontal |
|
|
What are the VFR cloud clearances in class E/G below 10,000' MSL?
pg. 61 |
3SMs, 500' below, 1000' above, 2000' horizontal
|
|
|
What are the VFR cloud clearances in class E/G above 10,000' MSL?
pg. 61 |
5SMs, 1000' below, 1000' above, 1SM horizontal
|
|
|
When are we required to file IFR?
pg. 65 |
To the max extent possible, weather conditions do not permit VFR flight, airspace rules require IFR flight, operating in excess of 180KTAS within federal airways (not crossing), operating fixed wing aircraft at night, unless the mission cannot be flown under IFR
|
|
|
What do we need to file IFR to a destination?
pg. 66 |
Published instrument approach capable of being flown by the aircraft
|
|
|
What weather do we need to file to an airfield?
pg. 67 |
Lowest compatable landing minimums
|
|
|
When do we need to file an alternate with regards to weather?
pg. 68 |
Worst weather (TEMPO or prevailing) at ETA +/- 1 hour for point of intended landing does not permit a VFR descent below MIA and is less than 2000' and a vis of 3SMs
|
|
|
If weather exceeds 2000'/3SMs ETA +/- 1hr but does not permit a VFR descent from the MIA for a VFR approach and landing, what conditions require an alternate?
pg. 69 |
Radar required on all approaches
Required NAVAIDs are unmonitored No weather reporting capability Lowest compatible approach >1500/3 Forcast winds exceed aircraft limits Denial of RVSM would prevent aircraft from reaching its planned destination |
|
|
What weather do you need for an alternate?
pg. 69 |
500' above lowest compatible approach min and 2SM or published visibility, whichever is greater
|
|
|
What airfields do not qualify as an alternate unless you can descend in VFR from the MIA?
pg. 70 |
Radar required on all approaches
GPS is the only NAVAID A NA (unmonitored NAVAIDs) Non-standard alternate mins published Winds exceed aircraft limits RVSM airspace required to reach alternate |
|
|
What is the minimum takeoff weather?
pg. 70 |
Weather has to be above the landing mins for the aircraft and no lower than 600 RVR
|
|
|
What departure procedures are authorized?
pg. 71 |
ODPs-include RTRL, VCOA or VCID
SIDs Specific ATC departure instructions Diverse departure Special MAJCOM Certification |
|
|
Visual climb over the airport (VCOA) visibility requirements should be considered a _______ distance.
pg. 71 |
Remain within
|
|
|
What climb gradient do we need to meet for an ATC instruction departure?
pg. 72 |
200'/NM minimum or any published for the runway
|
|
|
When can we turn on course during a diverse departure?
pg. 72 |
At the DER, 400' AGL
|
|
|
Can we takeoff using non-standard takeoff minimums in lieu of meeting the required climb gradient?
pg. 73 |
No
|
|
|
What must the approach plate say with regards to non-standard criteria to be able to use the published climb gradient?
pg. 73 |
Must have "or standard" with a climb gradient
|
|
|
Can we begin an enroute descent, arrival or published approach if the destination's weather is below required approach mins?
pg. 76 |
No
|
|
|
Can we continue the enroute descent, arrival or published approach/radar vectors for the approach if the weather drops below mins?
