- Pressing left or right on the collective trim switch will result in what happening during cruise flight above 50 KIAS? What if that trim switch is adjusted up or down while in the Barometric Altitude Hold (ALT) Mode?
When using the collective trim beeper to increase or decrease altitude, the altitude will change at a rate of 4 fps for the first 4 seconds. After 5 seconds, the altitude will change at a rate of 16 fps. Holding the collective trim beeper up or down for more than 5 seconds changes the reference altitude by approximately 1000 fpm.
When HDG is not engaged with a coupled FD, the collective trim beeper may be used to establish a standard rate turn.
- What happens when the Emergency Control Panel, COM GUARD \ NORM switch is placed into the guard position? When the switch is returned to the NORM position what should happen?
COM GUARD:
Sets the COM 2 (AN/ARC-231 - 2) radio to 243.000 MHz (UHF guard frequency) and also sets the COM 3 (AN/ARC-231 - 3) radio to 121.500 MHz (VHF guard frequency)
NORM: Placing the switch back to NORM sets both radios back to the previous band and frequency.
- How long after getting an immunization are crewmembers restricted from performing aircrew duties?
Immunizations: Medical restriction from flying duty will be for a minimum period of 12 hours following any immunization. If any type of reaction occurs, local or systemic, the aviator remains restricted from flying duties until cleared by a flight surgeon or APA
- What two conditions must be present for the aircrew to fly below MDA or continue below the DH?
Descent below MDA is not authorized until sufficient visual reference with the runway environment has been established and the aircraft is in a position to execute a safe landing.
Descent below DA/DH is not authorized until sufficient visual reference with the runway environment has been established
- Above 50 KIAS, when the using the Indicated Airspeed (IAS) Hold Mode, what are two ways that the pilot can adjust the IAS reference for IAS hold?
By either using the P-Sync Knob or using the Cyclic Trim Beeper.
While the IAS mode is coupled, the IAS reference is capable of being adjusted five knots per second or in one knot increments upward by moving the cyclic TRIM beeper switch forward.
- Who is responsible to ensure the reference conditions set on the FD/DCP are achievable within the aircraft engine limits and ambient conditions? What is this person responsible to monitor?
The pilot is responsible to ensure that the reference conditions set on the FD/DCP are achievable within the aircraft engine limits and ambient conditions and to monitor torque, TGT and NG in coupled flight.
- If conducting a Category B circling approach, how far out are you cleared to circle the airfield to your landing runway?
1.5 mile radius for category “B”.
- You are enroute to Tallahassee on V7 airway 2 nautical miles from Seminole VORTAC, when Tallahassee approach control tells you the following: “Army 12345 hold at Seminole VORTAC”. This is the only information that you have received. What are you expected to do when arriving at the Seminole VORTAC?
If no holding pattern is charted and holding instructions have not been issued, the pilot should ask ATC for holding instructions prior to reaching the fix. This procedure will eliminate the possibility of an aircraft entering a holding pattern other than that desired by ATC. If unable to obtain holding instructions prior to reaching the fix (due to frequency congestion, stuck microphone, etc.), then enter a standard pattern on the course on which the aircraft approached the fix and request further clearance as soon as possible. In this event, the altitude/flight level of the aircraft at the clearance limit will be protected so that separation will be provided as required.
