AR 95-1 Aviation Regulations Quiz

Deviation from Regulations

• Deviations from AR 95-1 are permitted during emergencies.
• Incidents of deviation must be reported to the unit commander within 24 hours.

Required Publications on Aircraft

• Operators Checklists, Operator’s Manual with updates, DD Form 365-4 (Weight and Balance), and Equipment Log Book are essential for in-flight operations.

Flight Time Definitions

• Flight time begins when the aircraft moves for takeoff and ends once it lands and engines are stopped.

Selection of Landing Areas

• Aviators can select landing and takeoff zones during lifesaving missions or if further flight is unsafe.

Aircraft Lighting Regulations

• Position lights must be bright between sunset and sunrise.
• Anti-collision lights are to be on during engine operation, except in conditions that can cause vertigo.

Civilian Transport by Army Aircraft

• Military aircraft may transport civilians during emergencies such as search and rescue or when serious medical evacuation is needed.

Prohibited Use of Army Aircraft

• Using Army aircraft solely for FAA rating renewal is prohibited.

Passenger Flight Restrictions

• Passengers are restricted from flights involving maintenance, aerobatics, emergency training, and acceptance flights.

Training Procedures in Multi-Engine Helicopters

• Touchdown autorotations and emergency training procedures are not allowed in multi-engine helicopters.

ATP Requirements Noncompliance

• Failure to meet ATP requirements triggers an investigation by the commander, which may result in various actions including extensions or restrictions.

Flight Time Credits

• Flight time in civilian aircraft cannot replace unit training assemblies or contribute to aviation career benefits.

Recurrent Flight Currency

• Aviators become uncurrent after 60 days without flight in the specified aircraft, triggering a proficiency evaluation.

Selection of Air Mission Commanders

• AMC selection is based on aviation experience, judgment, and situational awareness rather than rank.

Compliance Regulations

• Army personnel must comply with FAA regulations, ICAO standards, host country laws, military regulations, and operational manuals.

Smoking Policy

• Smoking is prohibited in or within 50 feet of Army aircraft.

Single Pilot Operations

• Conducting single-pilot operations in instrument meteorological conditions is prohibited.

Fuel Reserve Requirements

• VFR requires a reserve of 20 minutes of cruise fuel; IFR demands a reserve of 30 minutes.

Weather Planning Requirements

• Pilots must gather essential weather information for departure, en route, and destination prior to takeoff.

Icing and Turbulence Policies

• Flights into known severe icing or intentional entry into extreme turbulence is prohibited; moderate icing requires equipped aircraft.

Thunderstorm Navigation

• Aircraft are not to be intentionally flown into thunderstorms.

VFR and IFR Weather Planning

• VFR requires weather equal to or exceeding minimums at ETA; IFR requires similar planning meeting specific criteria.

Flight Planning and Clearance

• A flight plan must be filed before any flight, regardless of military or civil status.

Alternate Airfield Criteria

• Alternate airfields are necessary based on navigational aid monitoring, weather conditions, or if approaching minima can't be met.

Weight and Balance Responsibilities

• The pilot in command is responsible for verifying weight and balance using DD Form 365-4 and ensuring compliance throughout the flight.

Takeoff Minimums

• Pilots must adhere to specific takeoff minimums based on logged experience, especially for new pilots.

Airspace Classifications

• Class B, C, D, and E airspaces have distinct requirements for ATC clearance, visibility, and operational communications.

Special Visual Flight Rules (SVFR)

• SVFR minima for Army helicopters requires at least half a mile visibility.

Weight and Balance Classifications

• Class 1 and 2 aircraft have different loading control needs based on their weight and center-of-gravity limits.

Aircraft Weighing Protocols

• Aircraft must be weighed after significant repairs, modifications, or every specified period to ensure compliance with operational standards.

Protective Clothing

• All crewmembers must wear approved protective clothing and equipment while on duty, including helmets and flight suits.
