- What are the navigational source lateral deviations per dot on the ADI: VOR, ILS, ILS Back Course, TACAN, and FMS enroute?
Approximate depending on the ILS Facility
VOR -2.5 deg/dot TACAN -5 deg/dot ILS -1.25 deg/dot* FMS Enroute -2 deg/dot BC -2.5 def/dot*
- You are flying VFR cross country as the pilot not on the controls when you experience Inadvertent Instrument Meteorological Conditions. The pilot on the controls has done all of his steps in accordance with the crew mission brief and ATM. As the pilot not on the controls you are responsible for squawking Emergency. What is the fastest way to squawk emergency without using the FMS?
Place the IFF EMERG/NORM switch to IFF EMERG position.
IFF EMERG - Takes the transonder out of the STBY mode and sets the squak to code 7700.
What are the types of Hypoxia and their descriptions?
Hypoxic Hypoxia - Hypoxic hypoxia occurs when there is not enough oxygen in the air or when decreasing atmospheric pressure prevents diffusion of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream. high altitudes due to the reduction of PO2 in the atmosphere.
Hypemic Hypoxia - Hypemic, or anemic, hypoxia is caused by a reduction in blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity. Anemia and blood loss are the most common causes.
Stagnant Hypoxia - With stagnant hypoxia, blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity is adequate but circulation is inadequate. Conditions such as heart failure, arterial spasm, and blood vessel occlusion predispose affected individuals to stagnant hypoxia.
Histotoxic Hypoxia - Histotoxic hypoxia results from an interference with the use of oxygen by body tissues. Alcohol, narcotics, and certain poisons such as cyanide interfere with a cell’s ability.
What are the oxygen/altitude requirements for flights in an unpressurized aircraft?
(1) Aircraft crews. (a) On flights above 10,000 feet pressure altitude for more than one hour. (b) On flights above 12,000 feet pressure altitude for more than 30 minutes.
2) Aircraft crews and all other occupants. (a) On flights above 14,000 feet pressure altitude for any period of time. (b) For flights above 18,000 feet pressure altitude, oxygen prebreathing will be accomplished by aircrewmember
What are the four common techniques for executing a procedure turn (course reversal)? At what point should the turn be commenced, and what type and rate of turn should an aviator use?
Tear Drop Standard 45-degree turn (45/180) The 80/260 course reversal Holding/racetrack pattern ***The point at which the turn may be commenced and the type and rate of turn are left to the discretion of the aviator.
- What are the problems that could happen to the 701D engines and the DEC/ EDECU if a lightning strike occurs? How far should we circumnavigate thunderstorm cells by?
Both engines go immediately to maximum power with no temperature limiter or overspeed protection. In addition, the 701D engine overspeed may result in single or dual-engine shutdown without automatic Avoid turbulence associated with strong thunderstorms. Circumnavigate cells by at least 20 miles. Turbulence may also be present in the clear air above a thunderstorm
- If for whatever reason the altimeter setting for this approach was unavailable, are you still able to fly the approach based on the last altimeter setting received?
NO, When the altimeter setting(s) on which the approach is based is not available, the approach is not authorized.
- What is Chan 34 in the Localizer Navaid Box used for and where can I find the frequency for it?
It is a TACAN Channel and signifies DME availability. It provides distance information.
- Pilots in their initial radio contact with the facility concerned will state? Is there a “Clearance Readback” requirement?
Pilots in their inital radio communication with the facility concerned will state: AIRCRAFT IDENTIFICATION, LOCATION ON THE AIRPORT, TYPE OF OPERATION PLANNED (IFR), POINT OF FIRST INTENDED LANDING AND REQUESTED ACTION (TAXI/REQUEST CLEARANCE/ETC.)
“CLEARANCE READBACK” - There is no requirment for pilots to readback ATC clearances while on the ground (except runwary assignment and hold short instructions); However, pilots should clarify any portion of hte clearance that is not completely understood. In addition, controllers may request pilots to readback any clearances.
