Term
How long after your clearance void time will CAP start S&R 30 Min after your ETA at your final destination filed on your flight plan
 
Definition
30 Min after your ETA at your final destination filed on your flight plan
Term
If approaching your clearance limit and you have not received an EFC, how long before you reach your limit must you start to slow down to your holding speed and what is that speed?
Definition
When the aircraft is 3 min or less from a clearance limit and a clearance beyond the fix has not been received the pilot is expected to start a speed reduction so that the aircraft will cross the fix at or below the maximum holding airspeed

MHA-6000' - 200 KIAS
6001'-14000' - 230 KIAS
14000' and above - 265 KIAS
 
Term
Approaching Class C airport at what point do you need to be below 200 KIAS?
Definition
Below 2500' and within 4 NM of the Class C Airport
Term
Service volume for a Terminal VOR?
Definition
surface to 12,000 ft AGL and 25miles
Term
Max speed below 10K
Definition
250 KIAS
Term
what is the width of a localizer at the threshold
Definition
700 ft
Term
Visibility is reported at 1/2SM (minimum to be able to do the approach), airplane that just landed reports the visibility at 1/4SM, can you still continue on the approach?
Definition
yes
Term
What must you see to descend from the MDA/DA?
Definition
The threshold, threshold markings, threshold lights, REILs, VASI, Touchdown zone or markings, TDZ lights, Runway or markings, Runway lights
Term
what are the Components of the ILS system?
Definition
localizer, glideslope, compass locator/NDB, marker beacons, approach light system
Term
What type of weather would you expect with warm, moist, rising air?
Definition
I said these are characteristics of unstable air. I would expect turbulence, precipitation and cumulus/cumuliform clouds. I would also expect developing thunderstorms.
Term
What is the service volume of a compass locator?
Definition
25 watts, 15 nm
Term
On a circling approach what is the radius for a class C aircraft?
Definition
1.7 miles
Term
Who is contact approach initiated by? Pilot of ATC?
Definition
Pilot
Term
MOCA guaranteed reception within...?
Definition
22 NM
Term
You encounter ice that is hazardous to flight, what kind of ice is it?
Definition
Clear or glaze ice. Hard, heavy, and tenacious. Forms after initial impact and gradually spreads of aircraft surface forming a thin sheet of ice. It is particularly difficult to remove with de-icing equipment and can be hard to recognize.
Term
Cloud clearance and visibility above 10,000' msl in class E airspace?
Definition
5 SM VIS; 1000 FT above; 1000ft Below and 1 SM side to side
Term
How much clearance does the MSA give you?
Definition
MSAs provide 1,000 feet clearance over all obstructions but do not necessarily assure acceptable navigation signal coverage.
Term
What do the threshhold bars indicate?
Definition
the width of the runway
Term
NDB service volume?
Definition
Term
How far out are you protected when you do the course reversal?
Definition
Term
Aircraft before you said vis. is 1/4, can you continue?
Definition
Term
MSA sector-what is it?
Definition
Term
What your FAF on the ILS? The LOC?
Definition
Term
What's your MAP on the ILS? The LOC?(and what time at 120 kts?)
Definition
Term
The next 10 questions refer to the ILS or LOC 30 approach plate into KLBF. This is a JEPPESEN chart!
