Term
Why is solely using the PFPS TCA tool a bad idea for calculating MSA & ESA's?
Definition
It does not take in to account vertical obstructions like power lines or towers.  It should only be used as a starting point.
Term

What is MSA?

How is it calculated?

Definition
An intermediate altitude which will propvide terrain clearance yet limit threat detection.  MSA for low level, SCA's and Airdrop is calculated by adding 500 ft above the highest terrain or obstacle within 3nm of centerline rounded up to the next 100 ft increment.
Term
How is MSA for HAR calculated?
Definition
1000 ft, 2000 in mtns terrain above highest obstacle within 5 nm rounded up to 100 ft increment.
Term

What is ESA?

How is it calculated?

Definition
Provides a safe altitude that ensures clearance.  Add 1000 ft (2000 mtns terrain) to the highest terrain or obstacle within 10 nm of centerline and round up to the next 100 ft increment.
Term
How do you know what to put on your charts?
Definition
At a minimum they must be in accordance with table 16.2 in the Vol 3.
Term

`What do you set radar altimiters to during low level ops?

Does the NAV always set the same as the Pilot?

Definition

No lower than 10% of enroute altitude.

No, not in the infil exfil checklist.

Term

What equipment do you need for an NVG low-level?

SCA?

Definition

Pilot Radar Altimeter

241 Radar

I-INS SCNS solution

 

For an SCA its all the same except the nav needs his radar altimeter as well.

Term
What altitude defines "low level" tactical operations?
Definition
Below 3000 ft.
Term
Do all Low level's have to be in VFR conditions?
Definition
YES
Term

What is the day LAA?

Night LAA?

Definition

300 ft

500 ft

Term
During threat pen can you call breaks or hard turns?
Definition
No
Term
What is themin illumination requirement for NVG Modcons?
Definition
There is not a min criteria.
Term
Th Nav will compute start climbs and ref altitudes for all NVG LL routes.  What are reference altitudes based on?
Definition
Adding the appropriate AGL altitude to the predicted terrain elevation based on terrain within 1nm of wither side of centerline.
Term
What are start climb points?  How are they calculated?
Definition
predetermined points based off of DTG where the plane should start a climb to a ref point based on an onstacle in its path.  They are calculated for all climbs where their is 1000 ft or greater in 4 nm or less and climbs are based on 1000 fpm.
Term
What do you base start climbs off of?
Definition
the lowest possible altitude the plane could be at (not the previous ref altitude)
Term

When can the pilot fly below ref altitudes?

What do we do if he loses sight of controlling terrain?

Definition

When he has them visually. 

Fly the ref altitudes computed by the Nav.

Term
What do we do if either pilot loses NVG's?
Definition
Climb to MSA
Term
Any crewmember may call an emergency climb.  What are the Nav responsibilities in this situation?
Definition
Monitor terrain and call clear of terrain when above the critical terrain.  If the current hdg stinks give a new one.  (Also tell the RO the MSA because he is supposed to say it and has no idea what it is.)
Term
What are the WX mins for an SCA?  IMC SCA?
Definition
1500 & 3, 300 & 1
Term
What distance calls are required for an SCA?
Definition
Every mile inside of 10, 1/2 mile inside of 3.
Term
In no case will a descent below ___agl prior to 2nm be initiated .
Definition
300 AGL
Term
Do not descend below ___ until lz environment is aquired visually by both pilots.  The call when visual is: _____ _______
Definition
300 AGL, Zone In Sight
Term
What are the mandatory altitude calls on an approach from the Nav?
Definition
100, 50, 25 and 10....100 200 300
Term
When the DZ party reports winds saying "estimated" what safety factor do we have to add?
Definition
+-4 knots
Term
How much seperation (time) are we required on airdrops?
Definition
1 min
Term
What does the Nav verify on the load?
Definition
number, parachute type, load weights, sequence of delivery, position of loads in the aircraft.  recompute as necessary
Term
What do we mark the loads with?
Definition
name, callsign, and date
Term
At slowdown, what should we do to the drift to stay upwind?
Definition
Double it.
Term
When do the pilots and Navs have to confirm DZ in sight?
Definition
Prior to the 5 second call.
Term

Prior to the one minute call who can call a no drop?

After the one min?

Definition

AC.

Any crewmember.

Term

Can you compress the 1 min warning?

What is the exception?

Definition

NO.

If it is a pilot directed drop it can be initiated at a time that works with the type of drop.

Term
If you are doing JM drops do you still have to compute a carp or harp?
Definition
Yes, to back him up.
Term
Pararescuemen will not be deployed from aircraft with gross weights higher than_____________
Definition
155,000 lbs
Term
When dropping from ______ft or higher, use pre-breathing procedures.
Definition
18,000
Term
If we are above 10k ft crewmembers must be on oxygen.  parachutists can go up to 13K as long as the time that they are betweeen 10 and 13K doesn't exceed____mins.
Definition
30
Term
For HALO/HAHO give the JM a mag course +-___ degrees to the DZ and a distace fromt he release point to DZ.
Definition
5
Term
What is the max weight for a CRL?
Definition
2335 lbs
Term
If you have a CRL bundle with personnel jumping out with it do you drop at the personnel carp or the CRL Carp?  Do you even have to compute both?
Definition
At the personnel carp and yes, just to be sure the equipment will land on the DZ.
Term
What is the wag for CRL exit time?
Definition
2 secs.
Term
What is our max cds weight since we dont have a buffer stop assembly?
Definition
5,000 pds.
Term
CDS AD's are not reccomended below _____ aircraft gross weight.  If the drop MUST be made, use zero percent flaps and expect longer than normal exit time.
Definition
104,000 lbs
