Aeronautical Information Manual - FW - Chapter 7.4-7.7 - Turbulence and Flight Hazards Flashcards
What area should be avoided when departing behind a larger aircraft?
Below and behind the generating aircraft, especially at low altitudes.
Acceptance of a visual approach clearance behind another aircraft is an acknowledgment that:
You accept the responsibility for providing wake turbulence separation.
How can a pilot of a lighter aircraft following a heavier aircraft minimize wake turbulence?
Touch down beyond the landing point of the preceding heavier aircraft.
How high are migrating ducks and geese frequently seen?
7,000 ft. AGL.
What should you do to avoid a collision when encountering birds en route?
Climb. Lead birds of a flock are usually at the highest altitude.
Where do a high percentage of near mid-air collisions occur?
Below 8,000 ft. AGL and within 30 miles of an airport.
Which of the following characteristics can be true of an Unmanned Aircraft Systems?
All of the answers are correct.
Why should you approach mountain passes with as much altitude as possible?
Downdrafts of 1,500 - 2,000 ft. per minute are common on the leeward side.
When operating in ground icing conditions, what should you ensure?
Lift generating surfaces are completely free of contamination before flight.
The Aviation Safety Reporting Program provides for the waiver of certain disciplinary actions against pilots and controllers who file timely written reports concerning potentially unsafe incidents. To be considered timely, the report must be received within:
10 days of the incident.
