Question | Answer |
---|---|
Fuel Consumption. Increased fuel consumption in the low-level environment will reduce range. Generally, C-130 operating at low alt burn approx __ lbs/hr. At TITs at or near maximum continuous power, low-level fuel consumption can be as high as __ lbs/hr. | 6,000/7,000 |
Aircraft Stress. Low-level flight, especially in areas of convective or mechanical turbulence (e.g. mountains, hills), places additional aerodynamic stress on the aircraft. Stress is also increased while maneuvering around terrain during __________. | threat avoidance |
Inadvertent Altitude Loss. CRM must be effectively briefed and practiced to prevent loss of SA while maneuvering at low altitude. A common tendency is to __________ in the direction the pilot is looking, resulting in an unplanned __________. | overbank/descent |
Contour Flying. When attempting to avoid visual detection, try to minimize bank angle. Using more than _____ degrees of bank __________ chances of being seen. | 20/increases |
Wind effects must be considered when flying low-lvl, especially in terrain. For Example, a __ will tend to push the acft down as it approaches the top of the ridge. Conversely, a __ will “balloon” the acft as it crosses over the ridge, exposing to threat. | headwind/tailwind |
Degraded Performance. The flight engineer should annotate three- and two-engine performance for the route, __________ and __________ speeds for common gross weights. | stall/best climb angle |
__________ noting illumination of the “LOW” altitude light on the radar altimeter shall notify the pilot flying; a correction to the altitude should be made immediately. | Any crewmember |
The pilot, copilot, navigator, and engineer must cross-check __________ altimeters against desired altitude for all low-level operations or the __________ altimeter when a specified altitude is flown. | radar/pressure |
Minimum taxi interval is _____ aircraft length with four engines operating and _____ aircraft lengths with two engines operating. | one/two |
There is an approximate _____ to _____ knot airspeed difference between aircraft with the standard pitot system and the Rosemount system (Rosemount indicates the _____ airspeed). | 5/10/higher |
NVG Airland Considerations. Crews must exercise sound, conservative judgment when determining whether to continue NVG Airland operations with __________. | aircraft malfunctions |
NVG Airland Considerations. For flight engineer or navigator NVG failure within _____ NM to landing, the approach to landing may continue at the discretion of the pilot. | 2 |
NVG Airland Final Approach. Prior to landing, the __________ may confirm the runway is clear and re-check the landing configuration (“RUNWAY CLEAR, CONFIGURATION CHECKED”). | flight engineer |
To reduce blowing sand, dirt, or FOD and to reduce heat stress to ground personnel during engine running onload/offload, consider raising flaps to _____%. | 0 |
During sharp turns on the ground, use minimum taxi speed and LSGI on the engines __________ on the turn. Remember, on loose sand, the engines on the __________ of the turn will be affected by the rooster tail. | inside/outside |
Dust and Sand Contamination. Cycle the wing, empennage, and engine anti-icing systems __________ to prevent dust and sand contamination of the ant-icing valves. | after takeoff |
Crew Coordination. Crews __________ skip checklists in order to minimize ground times. The combat offload can be extremely valuable if performed correctly, if not it can be dangerous and time consuming. | must not |
The C-130 performance manual stipulates that all Max-Effort TOLD calculations are based on a “__________” runway. | hard surfaced, paved |
If threat considerations are the primary factor, takeoff at normal takeoff speed and accelerate __________ to the end of the runway. | in ground effect |
