Acronyms Flashcards
What documents are required on board an aircraft prior to flight?
A - Airworthiness certificate
R - Registration certificate
R - Radio station license (for flights outside the US)
O - Operating limitations & information (in AFM)
W - Weight & Balance data (aircraft specific)
(§21.5, §91.103, §91.9, §91.203, ICAO Article 29)
To act as PIC under IFR or in weather conditions
less than VFR minimums what accomplish?
6HITS
- 6 instrument approaches
- Holding procedures and tasks
-Intercepting and Tracking course through use of navigational electronic Systems
- within 6 months the above can be completed in a FFS, ATD, or FTD provided the device represents the category of aircraft for the instrument rating privileges to be maintained and the pilot performs the tasks and iterations in simulated instrument conditions. A flight instructor is not needed.
What is the acronym “6HITS” for?
6HITS is the acronym for what must be accomplished to remain IFR current to act as PIC
