2024 PRE-SOLO UPT EXAM WITH
VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
What does a rapid shallow wing rock mean? - CORRECT ANSWERS-Look at
me (use the mirrors in Ckpt)
What is Joker fuel? When is it briefed? - CORRECT ANSWERS-Fuel quantity
above bingo at which separation, bug out, or event termination should begin
and you proceed with the remainder of mission. Briefed on every mission
and set at preplanned transition points in the sortie. May be applicable to
have several joker fuels.
What are the altimeter area tops for setting between 29.42-29.91? -
CORRECT ANSWERS-21,500' MSL
UNRESTRICTED flying status: - CORRECT ANSWERS-Full use of MOA and
HONCHO pattern; XWinds are within solo limits and honcho controls the t-6
pattern; solo stud can maintain vis reference with ground during departure,
area work, and recovery
SOLO flying status: - CORRECT ANSWERS-3100 MSL/ 5 OR BETTER (2100
agl); Xwinds are within solo limits and Honcho controls t-6 pattern; solo
status will include suffix indicating specific restrictions (inner rings area only,
form only, pattern only)
SOLO-Inner rings Area only - CORRECT ANSWERS-WX 3100MSL/5 or better.
Solos are limited to specific areas and can maintain visual reference with the
ground during departure, area work, and recovery.
How would you signal recovery options without intercom? - CORRECT
ANSWERS--Show IFG page for recovery options.
-BLUE- HONCHO
-GREEN- WIZARD
-Flimsy/EFB-Instrument appch
-PINK with #-DIVERT (ICAO)
What does a triangle with fingers mean? - CORRECT ANSWERS-Turn on AUX
BAT and back up UHF
Tapping top of helmet with open palm (right hand) indicates what? -
CORRECT ANSWERS-Turn PMU switch off
, Waving 1T-6A-ICL-1 from side to side indicates what? - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Accomplish controlled ejection checklist up to step 14. PIC will direct the
ejection.
What does it mean when RCP lowers gear handle/ makes pulling motion with
left hand? (two fingers) - CORRECT ANSWERS-FCP pull alternating gear ext
handle
SOLO-formation only - CORRECT ANSWERS-Formations can maintain VMC
during departure, area work and recovery, with sufficient ground references
to visually navigate to and from within assigned areas.
DUAL- Flying status: - CORRECT ANSWERS-3100MSL/ 3 or better. No solo
sorties allowed
RESTRICTED PATTERNS flying status: - CORRECT ANSWERS-2600MSL/3 or
better. No solo sorties. Pattern entry is via initial TO, pattern straight in, or
closed downwind from center runway. Cant enter through VFR or Radar
pattern. No breakout capability. 8 max in pattern.
ALTERNATING INSTRUMENTS flying status: - CORRECT ANSWERS-WX is equal
to or better than suitable approach mins. All AC return for an instrument
appch. Multiple radar patterns allowed during t-6 window w/ prior approval.
SIMULTANEOUS INSTRUMENT flying status: - CORRECT ANSWERS-WX is
better than 2100 MSL/3 but less than 2600 MSL/3 (rest.) ATIS will inform
aircrew on appropriate recovery. T-6s will recover via GPS-B/VOR-A unless an
approach to center RWY is coordinated with SOF and approved by RAPCON.
WX Recall: - CORRECT ANSWERS-SOF has option to full stop all ac or recall ac
to VFR/radar pattern. Flying status and nearest suitable airfield will be
announced over GUARD. Airborne ac are immediately to discontinue profiles
and await sequencing for recovery. In meantime, climb to top of assigned alt
block and hold at max endurance airspeed. Solos receive first priority
followed by ac close to divert fuel. Fly recover at 250 KIAS.
Who receives priority during WX recall? - CORRECT ANSWERS-Solos then AC
close to divert fuel
After a WX recall, once all AC have landed, status reverts to? - CORRECT
ANSWERS-Standby
If AC are recalled to pattern after a WX recall, the status reverts to? -
CORRECT ANSWERS-Pattern only
