Question 1

How are Special Flight Permits obtained

Answer 1

If a special flight permit is needed, assistance and the necessary forms may be obtained from the local FSDO or Designated Airworthiness Representative (DAR)

Question 2

ETA-UTC Conversion

and

Wind Correction Angle

Answer 2

Set local time of departure, Convert time to UTC, Add flight time, Convert to local time of your arrival time zone

Wind Correction Angle:
WCA +R/-L Course = True heading or E6B

Question 3

Main Elements to be aware of for Aircraft Performance

Answer 3

Takeoff and Landing distance, Rate of climb, Ceiling, Payload, Range, Speed, Fuel Economy, Maneuverability, and Stability

Question 4

Factors that affect takeoff and landing Performance

Answer 4

Density altitude, icing, surface wind, runway surface, upslope or downslope runway, and Weight

Question 5

How does wind affect aircraft performance

Answer 5

During takeoff headwinds cause more airflow to flow around the wings causing it to lift off at a slower ground speed which increases takeoff performance allowing for shorter takeoff roll and increasing the angle of climb

During takeoff tailwinds there is less wind flowing over the camber of the wing which makes it more difficult for the aircraft to reach ground speeds for takeoff, tailwinds cause longer groundrolls and reduced angle of climb

Effects of winds on takeoff are identical to effects of winds on landings

Question 6

Effects of Weight on takeoff and landing

Answer 6

Increased Gross Weight on takeoff will decrease performance by giving the aircraft higher ground speed at takeoff, Slow Acceleration, More Drag and Ground friction, and longer takeoff roll.

Increased Gross Weight on Landing will decrease performance by requiring the aircraft to have a greater speed to support the aircraft and the landing angle of attack and to keep the lift coefficient resulting in an increased landing distance.

Question 7

Effect of Increase in Density altitude on takeoff and landing

Answer 7

Increased takeoff roll distance, reduced rate of climb, increased true airspeed on approach and landing, and increased landing rolling distance

Question 8

Density altitude defined

Answer 8

Pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature

Question 9

Effects of Density altitude on performance

Answer 9

Density altitude has a direct effect on lift produced by the wings, power output of the engine, Propeller efficiency, and drag forces

Question 10

Factors that affect Density altitude

Answer 10

Altitude (The higher the altitude, the less dense the air),

Temperature (The warmer the air, the less dense the air),

Humidity (The higher the humidity the less dense the air is)
