What is the accelerate stop distance definition? - Answer- The distance it takes to
accelerate to V1 at takeoff power, experience an engine failure at V1, abort the takeoff,
then bring the airplane to a stop using braking action.
How far from thunderstorms do you want to fly? - Answer- 20 miles or more UPWIND
What is the lowest visibility requirement for takeoff under part 91 and 121? - Answer- 91
- No restrictions
121 - 1-2 engines: 1 mile visibility
3-4 engines: ½ mile visibility
Speed restriction in class B airspace and under 10,000ft - Answer- If you are under
10,000 feet 250 KIAS
If underlying the bravo airspace or in the corridors of an airway it's 200 KIAS.
Speed restriction in class d airspace - Answer- Below 2500 AGL within 4nm of a class
delta limited to 200 kts
Stages of a thunderstorm - Answer- Developing, mature, dissipating
Speed limit at 10,000ft and above - Answer- Mach 1
Speed limit below 10,000ft - Answer- 250 kts
What do hotspots look like? - Answer- Magenta circle with a "HS#"
What are MORA's, what do they do and what do they look like? - Answer- Minimum Off
Route Altitudes, give 1000ft clearance from terrain and objects in places less than
5000ft, in 5001+ it gives 2000ft separation
What is required for a thunderstorm to form? - Answer- Unstable air, moisture, lifting
action
If the weather is reported as 100' OVC is that a problem? - Answer- No, visibility should
be the only restricting factor
What are the IFR fuel requirements? - Answer- To destination, then to alternate, then 45
minutes at cruise after
,What is the top of the Jeppeson Page called? - Answer- The Heading section
What is the second part of the Jeppeson plate called? - Answer- Communications
What is the top down view called on an Approach chart? - Answer-
What's the side view of an approach plate called? - Answer-
What is a green and a brown airport on an IFR plate? - Answer- Jeppeson Plate: Green
= VFR only airport
Regular: Brown = no IAP, Green = IAP available
How is a displaced threshold depicted? - Answer- White threshold bar then white lines
following the centerline
At what altitudes does RVSM airspace begin and end? - Answer- FL290-FL410
What is RVSM? - Answer- Reduced Vertical Separation Minima
What does RVSM do? - Answer- Reduces the vertical separation of IFR traffic from
2000 ft to 1000 ft
What is V1 - Answer- Takeoff decision speed
What is V2? - Answer- Speed at which you climb with one engine inoperative
What is V3? - Answer- Flap retraction speed
What is Vf? - Answer- Designed flap speed
What is Vfto - Answer- Final takeoff speed
What is Vmc - Answer- minimum control speed with critical engine inoperative
What. Is Vr? - Answer- Rotation speed
What is Vref? - Answer- Landing reference speed/threshold crossing speed
1.3Vso
When do you need a second alternate? - Answer- Every flight dispatched under Part
121 must have at least one alternate for each destination airport EXCEPT if you don't
have the 1-2-3 rule
A second alternate is required when weather conditions for the destination and the first
alternate are "marginal". Envoy says that marginal is destination - visibility at minimums
, for the expected approach, alternate - visibility and ceiling at the alternate minimums
listed in the Ops Specs.
What do you do if the weather goes below minimums and we are already inside the
FAF? - Answer- You may continue, but may not land if the visibility does not improve
What is V1? - Answer- Speed at which you pass you must continue the takeoff if one
engine fails
What are the three types of structural icing? - Answer- Clear, Mixed, Rime
Which type of structural icing is the most dangerous? - Answer- Clear. Changes the
shape of the airfoil and hard to see
What is accelerate start/stop distance? - Answer- Distance it takes to go from stop to full
power, then reach right before VR, have an engine fail, and come to a full stop
Explain what a restricted vs prohibited area is - Answer- Restricted - Airplanes may
pass through when inactive
Prohibited - Airplanes not allowed through
What is an MEA? - Answer- Minimum En Route Altitude - Guarantees navigation signal
and meets obstacle clearance requirements
What is the MRA? - Answer- Minimum Reception Altitude is the little R flag that
establishes the minimum altitude the reception signal can be received for the route
What is the MAA? - Answer- Maximum Authorized Altitude: Maximum is able altitude for
the route
What is the MOCA? - Answer- Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude: Lowest published
altitude in effect between fixes on VOR airways, off airway routes, etc. that meets
obstacle clearance requirements. Altitude with a star on it
What is the OROCA? - Answer- Off-route obstruction clearance altitude: Provides off
route obstruction clearance with 1000 foot buffer in non-mountainous and 2000 in
mountainous
What is the MSA? - Answer- Guarantees 1000 feet above the highest obstacle
On a Jeppeson enroute chart, what is the number before the T, example 2500T on an
airway? - Answer- MOCA
What colors are an ALSF-2 approach - Answer- Red side row bars and white
centerlights
