(127) |
|
|
Term
| True or false: USAF pilots will not use FAA or civil takeoff wx minima nor fly "see and avoid" in lieu of IFR climb gradients unless specifically authorized by the MAJCOM/A3 or as provided by 11-202V3 |

Definition
|
|
Term

Definition
|
|
Term
| USAF pilots will climb at a minimum rate of ___ unless a higher gradient is published and they must always meet or exceed the minimum/published climb gradient for the runway used with all engines operating |

|
Term
| Planning a safe IFR departure normally consists of what 3 steps? |
|
Definition
1-selection of a valid IFR departure method

|
|
Term
| True or false: unlike a TERPS departure gradient calculation, USAF multi-engine a/c must compute obstacle climb gradients assuming the loss of thrust equal to "one engine inoperative" |
|
Definition
