1 hour 30 min
All Army aircraft that are instrumented for IFR flight and are flown by an instrument-rated pilot will operate on IFR flight plans except when -
(a). Flight is primarily for VFR training,
(b). Time will not permit mission completion under IFR,
(c). Mission can only be accomplished under VFR,
(d). Excessive ATC departure, en route, or terminal area delays are encountered,

After departing a non military airfield, the PC will advise of depature time or other competent authority to
FSS
Aircraft will not be flown above a cloud or fog layer under VER for more than ____ unless what?
30 minutes,
The aircraft is equipped for IMC flight and not restricted from IMC flight, & All instrument flight rules and requirements can be met for the remaining of the flight.

What are the PC’s responsibilities IAW 95-1 for weight and balance?
(1) The accuracy of computations on the
DD Form 365-4,
(2) That a completed DD Form 365-4 is aboard the aircraft,
(3) Verify that the weight and center-of-gravity (CG) will remain within allowable limits for the entire flight
Class 1 vs 2
Class 1 - aircraft whose weight or CG limits can sometimes be exceeded by loading arrangements normally used in tactical operations. Therefore, limited loading control is needed. b. Class 2 - aircraft whose weight or CG limits can readily be exceeded by loading arrangements in tactical operations or designed for transporting troops. A high degree of loading control is needed.
All aircraft whose weight and balance class is not stated in the operator’s manual will be considered Class ____
2
How often is the accuracy of DD Form 365-4 checked?
90 days
All weight and balance records will, as a minimum, be reviewed every ______ months.

How long may aircraft crews fly above 10,000
feet PA with no oxygen?
1 hour
When will all personnel aboard Army single or multi-engine aircraft wear life preservers?
When flown beyond gliding distance of land
When any information indicates that barometric pressure on the route of flight currently exceeds or will exceed ______ inches
of mercury, no person may operate an aircraft or initiate a flight.
31
When must the transponder be on and operational?
