SET EXAM
Operational Necessity - Answer A mission associated with war or peacetime operations in which the consequences of an action justify accepting the risk of loss of aircraft and crew.
Instrument Meteorological Conditions - Answer Meteorological conditions expressed in visibility, distance from clouds, and ceiling less than minimums required for visual meteorological conditions. IMC conditions exist anytime a visible horizon is not distinguishable.
Actual Instrument Time - Answer Will be logged by both pilots of a dual/multi piloted aircraft during flight in actual instrument conditions.
Simulated Instrument Time - Answer Logged by the pilot at controls.
When is an alternate required? - Answer When forecasted weather is below 3,000-3 at the destination during the period of 1-hour before ETA and 1-hour after ETA.
What are the alternate airfield weather requirements if forecasted weather at destination is less than 3,000-3 and greater than instrument approach mins? - Answer Non-precision approach minimums plus 300-1 or precision approach minimums plus 200-1/2.
What are the requirements for an instrument approach at an alternate if weather is below 3,000' and the destination lacks an approach that can be made without operable two way radio comes? - Answer The alternate must have a published instrument approach that can be made without 2 way radio communications.
Minimum fuel planning requirements if an alternate is not required - Answer Fuel to fly from takeoff to destination airfield, plus 10% of planned fuel requirements.
Minimum fuel planning requirements if an alternate is required - Answer Fuel to fly from takeoff to the approach fix serving destination, thence to an alternate airfield plus a planned reserve of 10% of fuel requirement.
How is planned 20 minute reserve for turbine powered helicopters computed? - Answer Compute fuel consumption based on operation at planned flight altitude.
How is a flight plan closed at a military airfield? - Answer At military installations, the pilot either shall verbally confirm the
closing of the flight plan with tower or base operations personnel or deliver
a copy of the flight plan form to base operations.
How is a flight plan closed at a civilian airfield? - Answer At nonmilitary installations, the pilot shall close the flight plan with
flight service through any means of communication available. Collect, long-
distance telephone service may be used if required. When appropriate
communication links are known or suspected not to exist at the point of
intended landing, a predicted landing time in lieu of the actual landing
shall be reported to an appropriate aeronautical facility while airborne.
Position light requirements - Answer Shall be displayed during the period 30 minutes before sunset to 30 minutes after sunrise or at any time when the prevailing visibility from the cockpit is less than 3 statute miles.
Additionally, they shall be displayed:
-Immediately before engine start and while the engine(s) is operating.
-when the aircraft is being towed unless the aircraft is otherwise illuminated.
-when an aircraft is parked and likely to cause a hazard unless the aircraft is otherwise illuminated or marked with hazard lights.
Anti-collision light requirements - Answer Shall be used immediately before engine start and anytime the engine is operating except when the use of such lights adversely affects ground operations. They may be turned off during flight through clouds when the rotating light is reflected into the cockpit.
Landing/Taxi light requirements - Answer Should be utilized for all taxi movements ashore during the hours of darkness unless a taxi signalman is directing the aircraft. Use of those lights is recommended during landing approaches in Class B, C, or D airspace when meteorological conditions permit.
Minimum altitude for uncontrolled airspace, non-mountainous terrain - Answer An aircraft shall not be flown less than 1,000 feet of the highest terrain, surface of the water, or highest obstacle within 22 miles of intended line of flight.
Minimum altitude for uncontrolled airspace, mountainous terrain - Answer An aircraft shall not be flown lower than 2,000 feet above the highest terrain or obstacle within 22 miles of intended line of flight.
Minimum altitude for controlled airspace - Answer An aircraft shall not be flown lower than the minimum enroute altitude or the altitude specified by the agency exercising control over the airspace concerned when operating in IFR conditions.
Can PIC be switched in flight? - Answer The authority and responsibility of the PIC shall not be transferred inflight. It shall not be transferred to another individual except as required by emergency, operational necessity, or as directed by the commanding officer of the unit to which the aircraft is attached.
If a wing, group, or squadron commander is embarked on a mission involving aircraft of their command, they retain full responsibility and authority regarding command, including the mission in which participating.
The PIC of an aircraft with a flag or general officer eligible for command at sea or in the field embarked as a passenger shall be subject to the orders of such flag or general officer in accordance with U.S. Navy regulations. When such a passenger exercises authority to command the aircraft, that passenger thereby assumes full responsibility for the safe and orderly conduct of the flight.
What are the regulations concerning passengers embarked at night, over the water? - Answer 1. Shipboard launches and recoveries must be made during daylight hours. This requirement can be waived by strike group commanders, MAGTF, Commanders or Officers in tactical command in cases of operational necessity.
- In cases of MEDEVAC, a qualified medical attendant who is current in approved water survival training (non-aircrew underwater emergency egress as a minimum training requirement), and has been properly briefed on emergency egress procedures for that aircraft, may be transferred at night with approval from the ship's Commanding Officer.
- This does not preclude troop movement in support of amphibious
exercises, visit board search and seizure (VBSS) level III operations, or
SPECOPS training and operational missions
