common standards plus the following additions/modifications:
1. Tune and identify appropriate navigational aids (NAVAIDs).
2. Determine, intercept, and maintain the desired course ± 5
degrees.
3. Maintain the desired heading ± 5 degrees.
4. Maintain the desired distance measuring equipment (DME) arc ±
1 nautical mile.
5. Identify station passage.
◉ TASK 1167
PERFORM FLIGHT MANEUVERS USING STANDBY FLIGHT
INSTRUMENT SYSTEM (H-60M). Answer: STANDARDS: Appropriate
common standards plus maneuver the aircraft to establish and
maintain
the desired altitude, heading, and airspeed as appropriate.
◉ TASK 1168
,Perform command instrument system procedures (A/L). Answer:
STANDARDS: Appropriate common standards plus the following
additions/modifications:
1. Configure the horizontal situation indicator/vertical situation
indicator (HSI/VSI) mode select
panels and command instrument system (CIS) to obtain the desired
navigational data and
commands.
2. Follow the cyclic roll, cyclic pitch, and collective position indicator
commands, as
appropriate.
◉ TASK 1169
Perform flight director operations (H-60M). Answer: STANDARDS:
Appropriate common standards plus the following
additions/modifications:
1. Operate the flight director per the aircraft operator's manual.
2. Program the flight management system (FMS) for the desired
flight plan.
3. Select the desired display on the multifunction display (MFD).
4. Select the appropriate modes on the flight director/display
control panel (FD/DCP).
5. Follow cyclic roll, cyclic pitch and collective position indicator
cues as appropriate.
,Note. The pilot on the controls (P*) will monitor the primary flight
display (PFD) for correct
aircraft responses if coupled flight is selected.
◉ TASK 1170
Perform instrument takeoff. Answer: STANDARDS: Appropriate
common standards plus the following additions/modifications:
1. Adjust vertical situation indicator (VSI).
2. Maintain power as required (+5 percent, -0 percent torque) to
maintain desired climb airspeed
and rate of climb without exceeding aircraft limits per the
appropriate aircraft operator's manual.
3. Maintain accelerative climb attitude + 2 degrees until climb
airspeed is attained.
4. Maintain the aircraft in trim after effective translational lift (ETL).
◉ TASK 1174
Perform holding procedures. Answer: STANDARDS: Appropriate
common standards plus the following additions/modifications:
1. Tune and identify the appropriate navigational aids (NAVAIDs).
2. Enter the holding pattern.
3. Time and track holding pattern legs.
4. Send the appropriate report to air traffic control (ATC) per DOD
FLIP.
, ◉ TASK 1176
Perform nonprecision approach. Answer: STANDARDS: Appropriate
common standards plus the following additions/modifications:
1. Perform the approach.
2. Intercept and maintain nondirectional beacon (NDB) courses
within 5 degrees of course
centerline.
3. Intercept and maintain VHF omnidirectional range radio beacon
(VOR) or global positioning
system (GPS) course line within 5 degrees of course centerline.
4. Intercept and maintain localizer courses within 2.5 degrees of
course centerline.
5. During airport surveillance radar (ASR) approaches, make
immediate heading and
altitude changes issued by air traffic control (ATC) and maintain
heading ±5 degrees.
6. Comply with descent minimums prescribed for the approach.
7. Perform the correct missed approach procedure as published or
per ATC instructions
upon reaching the missed approach point (MAP) if landing cannot
be completed per
AR 95-1.
