UCT T-6 Instruments-QUESTIONS|VERIFIED
SOLUTIONS (100% CORRECT)!
What are different types of holding fixes? - ✔✔At designated holding patterns
Over VOR
Over GPS waypoint
What cannot be used to define a holding fix? - ✔✔TACAN
How do you calculate your descent gradient? - ✔✔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... - ✔✔Time
outbound for 15 seconds for each 1000' below before starting descent
When can you begin the descent on most instrument penetrations? - ✔✔When outbound
abeam with a parallel or intercept heading
For a non-DME teardrop penetration, how many degrees nose low should the aircraft be? -
✔✔8 - 10 degrees
When can the inbound turn on a non-DME teardrop penetration be initiated? - ✔✔At the
penetration turn altitude or halfway between the IAF and the FAF altitudes
Can lead points be used on a radial/arc penetration? - ✔✔Yes
On a radial/arc penetration, when can you begin to descend? - ✔✔Once a lead point is
reached and a turn to the next segment is initiated
, What equipment is not in the T-6? - ✔✔TACAN and ADF
What are the two types of low altitude approaches? - ✔✔Course Reversals
Procedural Tracks
In what situations is a course reversal not allowed? - ✔✔Straight-in approach
NoPT
Established in holding
Receiving radar vectors
Timed approach
How is a procedure turn depicted? - ✔✔By a barb symbol which points towards the
maneuvering side
When flying a racetrack procedure turn, when can you descend? - ✔✔When
outbound/abeam
How is a Holding in Lieu of Procedure Turn depicted? - ✔✔A heavy black line holding pattern
How many orbits should be flown in a HILO? - ✔✔One orbit unless instructed otherwise
How should you intercept a Procedure Track? - ✔✔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? - ✔✔Configured for landing with the
landing gear down, flaps in T/o, and 110 knots
