Which direction do you turn on a parallel holding entry? - Answers Turn in the shortest direction to the
outbound heading
Which direction do you turn on a teardrop holding entry? - Answers Turn in the shortest direction to
teardrop heading

the current EFC
What are different types of holding fixes? - Answers At designated holding patterns
Over VOR
Over GPS waypoint
What cannot be used to define a holding fix? - Answers TACAN
How do you calculate your descent gradient? - Answers Feet to lose / Miles to lose = Descent gradient x
100 (in feet per mile)
On a non-teardrop penetration, if you are below the published IAF altitude... - Answers Time outbound
for 15 seconds for each 1000' below before starting descent
When can you begin the descent on most instrument penetrations? - Answers When outbound abeam
with a parallel or intercept heading
, For a non-DME teardrop penetration, how many degrees nose low should the aircraft be? - Answers 8 -
10 degrees
When can the inbound turn on a non-DME teardrop penetration be initiated? - Answers At the
penetration turn altitude or halfway between the IAF and the FAF altitudes
Can lead points be used on a radial/arc penetration? - Answers Yes
On a radial/arc penetration, when can you begin to descend? - Answers Once a lead point is reached
and a turn to the next segment is initiated
What equipment is not in the T-6? - Answers TACAN and ADF
What are the two types of low altitude approaches? - Answers Course Reversals
Procedural Tracks
In what situations is a course reversal not allowed? - Answers Straight-in approach
NoPT
Established in holding
Receiving radar vectors
Timed approach
How is a procedure turn depicted? - Answers By a barb symbol which points towards the maneuvering
side
When flying a racetrack procedure turn, when can you descend? - Answers When outbound/abeam
How is a Holding in Lieu of Procedure Turn depicted? - Answers A heavy black line holding pattern
How many orbits should be flown in a HILO? - Answers One orbit unless instructed otherwise
How should you intercept a Procedure Track? - Answers At the IAF, turn immediately in the shorter
direction to intercept published track using lead points if within 90 degrees
How should the T-6 be configured prior to the FAF? - Answers Configured for landing with the landing
gear down, flaps in T/o, and 110 knots
When do you need to calculate a VDP? - Answers For all non-precision approaches except for circling
approaches
When flying a localizer back-course, what course do you put in? - Answers Put in published front course
so the CDI deflect in the proper direction
What is the deflection on the CDI prior to the approach arm? - Answers 5 NM
