UCT T-6 Instrument Check Ride Study Guide updated (passed)
What is the definition of Joker Fuel - Answers Joker fuel is a pre-briefed fuel state needed to terminate
an event and transition to the next phase of flight.
What is the definition of Bingo Fuel - Answers Bingo fuel is a pre-briefed fuel state that allows the
aircraft to return to the base of intended landing or an alternate, if required, using preplanned recovery
parameters and arriving with normal recovery fuel.
What is Recovery Fuel? - Answers Normal recovery fuel is the fuel on initial or at the final approach fix
(FAF) at the base of intended landing or alternate, if required. This fuel quantity will be the higher of
what is established locally or 200 pounds.
How much is min fuel? - Answers 150 pounds (200 pounds on solo student syllabus sorties)
How much is emergency fuel? - Answers 100 pounds or less
What is the Minimum runway length and width for normal T-6 operations? - Answers Landing distance
available (LDA) of 4,000 feet long by 75 feet wide or heavy weight flaps up landing distance plus 500
feet, whichever is greater.
What are crosswind limitations for icy runway? - Answers 5 knots
What are crosswind limitations for standing water? - Answers 5 knots
What are crosswind limitations for wet runway? - Answers 10 knots
What are crosswind limitations for solo students? - Answers 15 knots
What are crosswind limitations for touch-and-go landings? - Answers 20 knots
What are crosswind limitations for initial takeoffs and full-stop landings on a dry runway? - Answers 25
knots
What are crosswind limitations for formation wing takeoffs and landings - Answers 15 knots
To prevent wear and tear on the aircraft (excessive side-loading of landing gear), LDG flap touch-and-go
and full stop landings are discouraged when crosswinds (steady state or gusts) exceed ___ knots -
Answers 10
When on an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan under radar control in a designated ATC military
operating area, weather requirements for aerobatics, confidence maneuvers, stalls, and extended trail is
_______with ___ miles of in-flight visibility and a discernable horizon. - Answers clear of clouds ; 3
What is the minimum altitude to begin OCF spin training? - Answers 13,500 feet mean sea level (MSL)
What is the maximum airspeed for pattern/approach operations within 1,500 feet AGL and 3 nm of an
uncontrolled airfield? - Answers 150 knots
, What is an ELP (Emergency Landing Pattern)? - Answers A 360-degree pattern designed to position the
aircraft for landing when the possibility of a power loss exists, power is not available, or only partial
power is available.
When would you execute an ELP? - Answers For a fire warning in flight, engine failure (after takeoff or
during flight), or any indication of impending engine failure or unusual engine operation.
What are the 2 types of ELPs? - Answers The forced landing (FL) and precautionary emergency landing
(PEL)
What should your torque setting be for a simulated FL or a PEL? - Answers 4-6% torque
In an actual engine failure scenario (which requires a forced landing), the methodology to descend
below the minimum controlled ejection altitude employs the use of the acronym _______ - Answers
ORM 3-2-1
What is ORM 3-2-1? - Answers ORM 3-2-1 means that with an engine malfunction requiring a FL, T-6
aircrews will not descend below 2000 feet AGL unless they are (O) on profile for the field of intended
landing, with the (R) runway in sight and in a position to safely (M) maneuver to land. Three hundred
feet AGL (3) is the point to make the final decision to continue or eject. At 200 feet AGL (2), the gear will
be confirmed and reported down, and at 100 feet AGL (1) the aircraft should be on centerline.
Is ORM 3-2-1 applicable to PELs? - Answers No
What is the min ceiling for an FL or PEL? - Answers 2,000' AGL (Above Ground Level)
Do not descend below 2000 ft for a FL unless.... - Answers ORM 3-2-1
When is an IFR alternate required? - Answers (WWWDRUMG) Weather is less than 2000' and 3SM;
Winds are out of limits +/-1 hr ETA ;
No Weather reporting capability at destination; Denial of RVSM;
Radar required on all compatible approaches; Unmonitored NAVAID;
Minimums are greater than or equal to 1500' and 3SM (lowest compatible approach mins);
GPS is the only compatible approach
What conditions disqualify an alternate? - Answers (WWWDRUAG)
Weather is at leasf (1000' and 2SM) or (500' and 1SM above lowest compatible min)- whichever is
greater;
Winds are out of lmits +/-1 hr ETA;
no Weather reporting capability at destination;
