solutions
What is a Standard Climb?
|| || || ||
200 feet/nm||
What are holding speed restrictions?
|| || || ||
≤ 6000 ft. => 200 KIAS
|| || || || ||
6001 ft. - 14,000 ft. => 230 KIAS
|| || || || || || ||
> 14,000 ft. => 265 KIAS
|| || || || ||
What is the difference between flyby and flyover waypoints?
|| || || || || || || ||
~ Flyby -> aircraft should begin turn to the next course/leg prior to reaching the waypoint
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
~ Flyover -> Aircraft must fly over the point prior to starting turn.
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
What is the Reciprocal of 266º
|| || || || ||
086º
Dumping fuel at 1500 lbs/hr, how long to dump 16500 lbs?
|| || || || || || || || || ||
11 hours
||

How long to travel 90nm, with 190TAS and 60kts headwind?
|| || || || || || || || ||
41.5 minutes ||
When should you start down from FL350 to cross fix at 12,000 ft.
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
~ Use 3 to 1 rule (every 1000', you need 3NM)
|| || || || || || || || || ||
~ 23,000 ft to lose -> 23 x 3 = 69 miles out
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
No published hold on the missed, what entry, speed, leg length would you use?
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Turns: Right Turns (Standard Hold)
|| || || ||
Leg Length: Below 14,000 ft => 1 min. ; Above 14,000 ft. => 1.5 min
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Speed:
≤ 6000 ft. => 200 KIAS
|| || || || ||
6001 ft. - 14,000 ft. => 230 KIAS
|| || || || || || ||
> 14,000 ft. => 265 KIAS
|| || || || ||
What is MSA? || ||
- Minimum Sector Altitude/Minimum Safe Altitude
|| || || || ||
- Lowest altitude which may be used which will provide a minimum clearance of 1,000 ft.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
(300 M) of obstacle clearance within a 25 NM radius from the NAV Facility upon which the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
MSA is predicated.
|| ||
From the approach plate, what is the number inside the parenthesis ( )?
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
DH: Decision Height (in AGL)
|| || || ||
, 2
Define MEA. ||
MEA - Minimum En-route Altitude
|| || || ||
The lowest published altitude between radio fixes that ensures acceptable navigational
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
signal coverage and meets obstacle clearance requirements between those fixes (i.e. along
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
entire route section). || ||
Obstacle clearances: 1000' and 2000' in designated mountainous areas.
|| || || || || || || ||
Define MOCA ||
MOCA: Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude
|| || || ||
1) Obstacle Clearance Requirements Met
|| || || ||
2) Acceptable Nav Signal Coverage within 22NM of a VOR
|| || || || || || || || ||
Why is the localizer more sensitive on a back-course?
|| || || || || || || ||
Greater sensitivity due to the fact that the Localizer antenna is closer to the airplane during
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the back-course approach.
|| ||
On a back-course approach, why do we put in the front course?
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
Reverse Sensing. ||
Which runways can you cross when cleared to taxi to a runway?
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
Only the runways which you were cleared to cross.
