Question 1

Circling approach normal displacement:

Accepted Answer

1.3-1.5 NM

Question 2

Circling approach offset technique for teardrop

Accepted Answer

Rule of 75s. offset 30* for 45s or for 45* for 30 // begin timing when initiating turn then roll to downwind when timing complete -- can you answer why? or another technique? think about groundspeed conversions and turn radius

extend donwind for 15s after passing abeam the landing threshold
set flaps to landing THEN make a continuous turn to final --> keeps you tighter, allows for slower airspeed

Question 3

Displacement for low abeam

Accepted Answer

1.3-1.5 NM

Question 4

Max rate vs Max angle

Accepted Answer

Max rate - horizontal distance to climb is longer, but time to altitude is less (better for flying through MANPAD WEZ w/ no terrains
Max angle - time to altitude is longer, but horizontal distance to altitude is less (better for climbing over terrain/SMARMs threat/ route restriction etc)

Question 5

Low altitude tac departure require what kind of obstacle clearance?

Accepted Answer

500' w/in 3 NM of centerline (Day), w/in 5 NM centerline (Night)

Question 6

Spiral Up Techniques

Accepted Answer

1. 40% flaps at Vmfr (45* max bank) 2. 40% flaps Vmco+10 (30* max bank) 3. Clean configuration at 250 knots (45* max bank)

Question 7

VFR pattern spacing

Accepted Answer

2.0-2.5 NM

Question 8

Min speed on VFR downwind

Accepted Answer

Vapp+30

Question 9

Min speed on VFR base turn, prior to going landing flaps

Accepted Answer

Vapp+20

Question 10

Closed pattern displacement

Accepted Answer

1.3 NM (100% flaps) 1.5 NM (40% flaps)

Question 11

When to set flaps to landing on closed pattern, tactical approaches (with continuous turns to final), and circling approaches

Accepted Answer

at perch

Question 12

Downwind displacement on overhead

Accepted Answer

1.5-1.8 NM

Question 13

Aircrews can request Mode 5 interrogation through NORAD on UHF freq ___

Accepted Answer

364.2

Question 14

During normal taxi operations, every 10,000' taxiid, brake temps increase by

Accepted Answer

look at the chart, under 10k add 100*C

Question 15

Do not put the gear in the wheel wells (retract the gear) if brakes are above this temperature __

Accepted Answer

200*C

Question 16

Compute brake temps for landing when

Accepted Answer

1. any flight shorter than 1 hour (compute before takeoff)
2. any landing above 600,000 lbs regardless of flap setting
3. any time the runway length is shorter than twice the calculated min run landing distance

Question 17

Equation for TAS

Accepted Answer

TAS = IAS +(flight level/2)

Question 18

Equation for VVI

Accepted Answer

VVI = (NM/Min) x (Ft/NM)

Question 19

Turn radius equation (90* turn using 30* bank)

Accepted Answer

NM/Min -2 or (Mach x10)-2
