A standard holding pattern consists of _____ legs at of below 14,000 feet?
1 MIN
200
The maximum allowable CDI error when checking the VOR or TACAN at a designated ground checkpoint is:
+/- 4

Like the FAA 45/180 procedure turn maneuver, timing for the 45 straight leg of the ICAO 45/180 Procedure Turn for category C, D and E aircraft is what?
1 minute and 15 seconds from the start of the turn.
200
A majority of aircraft lightning strikes occur within __C and _____feet of the freezing level.
8C, 5,000 feet
200
When a traffic avoidance instruction is received from ATC that is contrary to or conflicts with the guidance being directed by the Resolution Advisory (RA) provided by your TCAS. Whose direction do you follow?
RA
300
In US airspace, what is the maximum holding airspeed for 6,000 feet and below, unless ATC has approved holding speeds in excess?
200 KIAS
300
When checking the TACAN at a designated ground checkpoint, the allowable DME error is:
1/2 MILE OR 3%
300
(T/F) The ICAO base turn procedure is optional. You may fly the 45/180 or 80/260 “reversal procedures” in lieu of the published base turn procedure.
F
300
If the ATIS broadcast does not mention sky condition or visibility, a minimum of what weather can be expected?
At least a 5,000 foot ceiling with 5 miles or more visibility.
300
Prior to entering RVSM airspace, What must you do?
notify the controlling agency that you are non-RVSM capable
400
Begin outbound timing in the holding pattern when?
Abeam the fix, wings level outbound
400
The minimum fuel reserve to be carried by an USAF aircraft is usable fuel onboard to increase the total flight planned time by what?
20 Min or 10% up to 45 Min (whichever is greater)
400
What is considerd "established" on course for a ICAO LOC approach?
Within half of full scale deflection
400
Technique: As a minimum, fly at an altitude which is at least 50% higher than the height of the mountain range. What is this a technique for?
Avoiding mountain wave turbulence- occures when wind flows perpendicular the the mountain top and exceeds 25 knots.
400
For the TCAS to provide safe vertical separation, the pilot flying is expected to initiate the Resolution Advisory (RA) maneuver within how many seconds of when the RA is first displayed?
5 seconds
500
You must enter a published ICAO holding pattern based on your heading (±5) relative to three entry sectors. If the published pattern has an inbound course of 270 (right turns), what entry procedure is acceptable for a 020 entry heading?
Teardrop entry intercept an offset track of 060, direct entry turning right to an initial outbound heading of 090.
500
On an 1801 under 10. Equipment you have KURDFIGHT/S. What does the R stand for and what must be encluded in 18. Other Information?
R=RNAV PBN/A1
