F-16 MQF (Misc) UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Rendezvous and air refueling will not be attempted Deemed insufficient for safe air refueling operations.
when in flight visibility is:
Less than 1 nautical mile, without radar lock-on capability.
Aircraft may close to lock-on limits of the radar provided that the required
altitude separation is maintained until visual contact has been established.
(All of the Above)
Cruise and Air Refueling airspeed is ( ) KCAS unless 310
specifically directed otherwise.
T/F: Tankers and receivers will include altimeter settings True
with appropriate altitude calls if other than 29.92 is
used.
T/F: Normally boom visual signals will be used True
exclusively; however, if required or requested by the
receiver, the boom operator will begin communications
when the receiver is within 50 feet of the contact
position.
If the tanker turns the Lower Rotating Beacon ON Breakaway
and/or flashes the Receiver Director Lights, you should:
Boom in trail, fully retracted is the visual signal for: Offload complete
Boom stowed, fully retracted is the visual signal for: Tanker air refueling system inoperative
, While flying in the precontact/contact position, you 10; 500 feet; 30
lose sight of the tanker. You should simultaneously
reduce airspeed ( ) knots and descend ( ) below
refueling altitude. Hold refueling heading and after ( )
seconds resume air refueling airspeed.
While flying in the third echelon position, you lose sight 45; 30
of the aircraft in the second echelon position. You
should simultaneously transition to instruments and turn
away using _____ degrees of bank for seconds,
inform the leader, and then resume heading.
In the event of an overrun by fighters, the receiver(s) 1,000
will pass ___ feet below the tanker to insure positive
vertical separation. The receiver(s) will decelerate and
maintain air refueling heading.
After a normal disconnect, remain stabilized in the Positive visual confirmation of boom separation is confirmed by the boom
contact position until: operator.
If normal disconnect methods fail: accomplish a controlled tension brute force disconnect with a gradual
reduction in power as the aircraft is slid out along the axis of the boom.
For TOLD computations, takeoff factor is a computed Engine thrust, temperature, and altitude
number, which is a function of ( ). Takeoff factor is used
as a control parameter for most TOLD charts.
T/F: Refusal speed is the maximum airspeed that can be True
attained and still stop on remaining runway should
takeoff be aborted.
When computing TOLD always use the known RCR if 18; 12
available. Dry RCR=16, dry concrete RCR=23, loose
snow RCR=8, and smooth ice RCR=4. If RCR is unknown
and runway is wet, use RCR=( ) for wet concrete and
RCR=( ) for wet asphalt.
Rotation speed is ( ) less than computed takeoff speed 10; 15
for non-AB takeoffs and ( ) less than computed takeoff
speed for AB takeoffs.
T/F: Assumptions for computing dry runway Refusal True
Speed are: speed brakes open, idle selected at refusal
speed, max effort braking, zero taxi energy, no braking
above max brake application speed, and brakes
applied 3 seconds after idle selection.
T/F: It is possible for a configuration loading category True
in the SMS software to disagree with the actual loading
category. Disregard the STORES CONFIG caution light,
and place the STORES CONFIG switch per stores
limitations in the 1F-16CM-1-2.
