Study These Flashcards
A

32
Can stores be dropped from the aircraft at night?
No, Day VMC only (6K 6.4)
33
When is overwatch required for SAR operations?
- Temp = sea temp less than 15, air temp less than 10, combined less than 31. - Ops occurring outside surf zone - 2NM - Rescue cannot be assured by another asset within 60mins
34
What should occur if you can’t maintain 5k vis on NVIS?
A) Revert to IFR above LSALT B) change flight path direction C) Land
35
When can the VFR fixed fuel reserve be used when conducting NVIS operations?
Weather conditions permit NVFR and the NVFR alternate requirements are met (8k vis and 1500ft cloud ceiling)
36
What are the NVIS speed limitations?

Can an ACO de-goggle in the hover!
Yes, only below 500ft with PIC approval. (6C10.9)
38
Can goggle up be conducted on taxie?
Yes, as long as the NVG’s have been focused and adjusted prior to taxi.
39
What are the restrictions for NVIS flights over low contrast terrain?
A) changes to (height/altitude) should be conducted individually. B) RADALT set to minimum height. C) No turns greater than 15 degrees below 200ft. D) ACO to call every 100ft on descent until the last 100ft then in 20ft increments.
