QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS
Maintain Airspace Surveillance
ATM Task 1026 - Answer-Use proper scanning techniques to detect traffic/obstacles to
avoid SD. Hazards (wires) difficult to detect.
Perform Ground Taxi
ATM Task 1034 - Answer-Landing light should be used for unaided.
IR searchlight when NVG aided.
Use proper scanning.
Perform Hoveing Flight
Task 1038 - Answer-1. Movement over limited contrast (tall grass, water, desert) causes
SD. If occurs, apply sufficient power and execute ITO. If go-around not feasible,
maneuver forward and down to ground to limit lateral movement.
2. When unaided, ensure search/landing in desired position. White light will impair night
vision for several minutes. Exercise caution until dark adapted again.
Perform VMC Takeoff
ATM Task 1040 - Answer-1. If suff illum, t/o same as day VMC. Visual
obstacles/shadows treat as physical obstacles. If insuff illum, perform alt-over-airspeed
t/o by applying t/o power first then slow accel to ensure clearance (gournd or hover).
2. T/O power until climb airspeed, then adjust power for desired climb rate. Alternate
between crosscheck and obstacles. P*/NCM outside, P inside.
a. Maintain ground track; reduced references during t/o and throughout ascent. Surface
wind dir/vel assists in maintaining gt.
b. Use proper scanning to avoid SD
c. When unaided, ensure search/landing in desired position. White light will impair night
vision for several minutes. Exercise caution until dark adapted again.
Navigate by Pilotage/Dead Reckoning
ATM Task 1044 - Answer-More detailed flight planning required.
Int/Ext lighting should be considered when selecting colors for preparing maps/notes.
Perform VMC Flight Maneuvers
ATM Task 1052 - Answer-P* primarily outside - obstacle avoidance/aircraft control
P makes internal checks.
Select LZ/PZ/HA
, ATM Task 1054 - Answer-1. Unimproved/unlit areas more difficult to evaluate at
night/low contrast. Use various methods to determine hieght of obstacles. Visual
obstacles treat as physical obstacles.
2. When unaided, ensure search/landing in desired position. White light will impair night
vision for several minutes. Exercise caution until dark adapted again.
Perform VMC Approach
ATM Task 1058 - Answer-1. Alt, apparent gs/roc difficult to estimate. Final 100 ft should
be slightly less than day. Reduce a/s on appch to approx 50 kts until apparent gs/roc
appear to increase.
2. Terrain/vegetation may decrease contrast and cause degraded depth perception.
Before descending below obstacles, determine need for artificial lighting.
3. Use proper scanning to avoid SD.
4. When unaided, ensure search/landing in desired position. White light will impair night
vision for several minutes. Exercise caution until dark adapted again.
Perform Slope Operations
ATM Task 1062 - Answer-1. Determine need for artificial illum before starting. Select
reference points to determine slope angles (prob limited/difficult to ascertain). If
doubtful, abort.
2. When unaided, ensure search/landing in desired position. White light will impair night
vision for several minutes. Exercise caution until dark adapted again.
Perform Roll-on Landing
ATM Task 1064 - Answer-1. Alt, apparent gs/roc difficult to estimate. Final 100 ft should
be slightly less than day. Reduce a/s on appch to approx 50 kts until apparent gs/roc
appear to increase.
Respond to Emergencies
ATM Task 1070 - Answer-Take special precautions to identify the correct
switches/levers when performing emergency procedures at night or while wearing night
vision goggles (NVGs).
Perform Autorotation
ATM Task 1082 - Answer-Suitable landing areas more difficult to locate.
Hazards/wires will be difficult to detect.
Use landing/searchlight as appropriate.
Binocular Cues - Answer-Depend on the slightly different view each eye has of an
object. Is of value only when the object is close enough to make a perceptible difference
in the viewing angle of both eyes. Outside the cockpit of little/no value.
