Term
in determining the minimum climb profile, TERPS uses a "standard" climb rate of ____, normally at the beginning of the DER
Definition
200 ft/NM
(127)
Term
True or false: USAF pilots departing IFR may takeoff in good or marginal wx as long as they can "see and avoid" obstacles and terrain, while in civil aviation pilots may not plan to use "see and avoid" in lieu of complying with published or standard climb gradients
Definition
False. switch USAF pilots with civil pilots for true answer
(127)
Term
USAF pilots operating under IFR must comply with applicable IFR climb gradients(or ___ _____ ____ procedure)
Definition
Special MAJCOM Certification
(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
True
(127)
Term
USAF pilots flying under IFR will delay all turns until at least ___ feet above the ___ elevation unless an early turn is specifically required by the departure procedure
Definition
400; DER
(127)
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
Definition
200 ft/NM
(128)
Term
Planning a safe IFR departure normally consists of what 3 steps?
Definition
1-selection of a valid IFR departure method
2-determining the minimum required climb gradient
3-ensuring a/c performance meets or exceeds that climb gradient
(128)
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
true
(128)
Term
The minimum climb gradient for any IFR departure will be the higher of: ____ ft/NM, as directed by the _____, as directed by a ___ ____, or as directed by the ____ ____ ____
Definition
200; MAJCOM; departure procedure; aircraft flight manual
(128)
Term
If no obstacle or terrain penetrates a ___ slope from the departure end of the runway, an aircraft may turn in any direction and remain clear of obstacles while climbing at ___, and no obstacle departure procedure is required
Definition
40:1, 200'/NM
(128)
Term
area of concern for mountainous and non-mountainous areas for a diverse departure obstacle assessment area
Definition
25; 46
(129)
Term
at non-joint-use USAF or USN bases, assume a ___ foot runway end crossing height unless a higher altitude is published
Definition
0
(130)
Term
for any departure at other than non-joint-use USAF or USN bases, if the screen height is not published in the ODP or other reliable source, pilots will plan to cross the DER at or above __ feet
Definition
35
(130)
Term
low close-in obstacles are those that would generate an excessive climb gradient (>200ft/NM) that terminates at or below ___ feet above the DER
Definition
200
(131)
Term
2 types of DP?
Definition
ODPs and SIDs
(131)
Term

Definition
highest climb gradient
(131)
Term
true or false: when told to "fly runway heading" do not apply wind drift correction
Definition
true
(141)
Term
to fly a diverse departure, fly the extended runway centerline ground tack until __ feet of DER before turning
Definition
400
(142)
Term
what is a fly-by waypoint?
Definition
a/c should begin a turn to the next course prior to reaching the waypoint connecting the two route segments
(146)
Term
what is a fly-over waypoint?
Definition
a/c must fly over the point prior to starting a turn, depicted as a circled waypoint symbol
(146)
Term
to fly a RNAV DP, aircrew must verify the information in the database with the published DP- the max allowable difference is +/-__ degrees and ___ NM
