4 15. Local proficiency flights at Ellington AFB may be conducted on a VFR flight plan whenever weather conditions permit. T-38A's will not fly VFR locals or "traffic pattern only" flights if the ceiling or visibility is less than ________ feet and ________ miles. Under these conditions, a T-38A will not depart the traffic pattern to work in the local area, unless an IFR clearance is obtained prior to leaving the pattern. (a) 5,000; 5 (c) 1,500; 5 (b) 2,200; 3 (d) 2,700; 5[[marked as correct answer]] 16. Cross-country flights will depart Ellington AFB on an IFR flight plan. Terminating cross-country flights may cancel IFR below APC if traffic delays and/or fuel requirements dictate. Pilots should not cancel IFR unless assured that a descent and landing can be made in VFR weather conditions of at least ______________. (a) 5,000 feet and 5 miles visibility[[marked as correct answer]] (b) 1,500 feet and 5 miles visibility (c) 2,700 feet and 5 miles visibility (d) 5 miles visibility 17. The absolute weather minimums for NASA JSC T-38A's are _______________. (a) published, but visibility at least 1 miles (VOR, TACAN, ASR) (b) published, but at least 300 feet and 3/4 mile to file or begin approach, 200 feet and 1/2 mile after commencing the approach. (ILS, PAR) (c) day circling approaches - published or 500 feet and 2 miles, whichever is greater; night circling approaches - published or 800 feet and 3 miles, whichever is greater. (d) All of the above[[marked as correct answer]] 18. A NASA T-38A pilot must list a destination alternate if his intended destination is less than _____________.
