Official duties now explicitly listed as? (Name 4 of 7)
Aircraft pre/post flights, pre mission planning, post mission paperwork, debriefing, required mission coordination, flight training events, military duties, etc.
What is the new weather source that is now explicitly described as "Official"
EFB applications which obtain weather information from an OWS
Ex) 557 WW
'RNAV' departure has been changed to what?
PBN departure
This now includes both RNAV 1 or RNP 1
Can aircrew descend and commence an approach when weather is forecasted below minimums
Yes! But study/review the missed approach prcedure!
Give it the ol' college try
If FDP is exceeded 2 hours past limit, this many hours minimum crew rest are now required
48 hours
What IAPs do V-series NOTAMs apply to
DOD IAP only, not civilian IAPs
In DAIP, V-series NOTAMs are proceeded by "[DOD Procedural NOTAM]." In ForeFlight, V-series NOTAMS are displayed as "Military NOTAM." Crews may utilize other instrument procedures which comply with use of commercial products and disregard the V-Series NOTAM as it is not applicable to these products.
USAF pilots must verify ATC departure instructions are consistent with a published departure procedures in the NAS, ICAO, or both?
Both
Used to say "NAS and OCONUS Military Fields"
Trained aircrews are authorized to use a host nation product and what other kind of product
When do you need to comply with step down fixes for an ILS
Outside the FAF
Both inside and outside the FAF for a LOC
What is the minimum airfield lighting or wx required for day or nighttime taxi operations?
There is none
MAJCOM or MDS may specify as req
PICs must carry enough fuel considering *BLANK* and *BLANK* to safely conduct the flight
1) Meteorological factors
2) Mission requirements
What is the 4th and new thing to consider when planning a safe departure?
Determine weather requirements for takeoff
IFR/VFR, Wx req, req climb gradient, performance meets or exceeds req climb gradient
MAJCOMs must now provide training for what kind of commerical product before they can be used in air
Jeppesen
Weather that would require an aircraft hold at the ILS critical area
800 ft ceilings and 2 miles visibility
"Airport environment" has now been changed to this
Airfield
To standardize wording between airfield, airport, and environment
Aircrews SHOULD or WILL apply cold weather corrections to all minimum and recommended altitudes for a published departure procedure
SHOULD

What two additional departure methods are now considered Nonstandard TO Minimums?
RTRL and VOCA
Who has the authority to monitor conditions allowing crews to fly into a field when birds are forecasted severe

Safety belts will be worn takeoff and should be worn until completion of the flight except when necessary activities require temporary removal or when doing so prevents proper performance of crew duties
What is the main 2 differences between USAF and FAA temp correction policies?
Temperature limits and what part of the approach segment is to be corrected
USAF has set temperatures and rules as to when temp corrections will be applied
The FAA only requires temp correction at specific airfield, temps, and approach segments listed on their website
For PBN departures, you are not permitted to turn until what altitude above the field evelation?
500 feet
