Q

What is the rule of thumb for the amount of lead required to roll out on the desired heading

A

Lead by 1/2 the angle of bank so if it’s 30° angle bank need to roll out by 15°

Q

What is class echo airspace

A

Any air space that is not alpha bravo Charlie delta
in most places it extends down to 1200 feet AGL
in some places it extends down to 700 feet AGL
and then in some places it extends all the way down to the surface
and then it can extend up to 17,999 feet and above 60,000 feet

20
Q

What are the requirements for class echo airspace

A

There are no requirements

21
Q

What is class golf airspace

A

Any air space that is not alpha, bravo ,Charlie ,delta ,echo
usually around non towered airport surface to 700 feet at an airport
Surface to 1200 feet AGL everywhere else

22
Q

Class bravo airspace VFR weather minimums

A

Three statute miles Visibility and clear of clouds

23
Q

What are the VFR weather minimums for class Charlie and class delta air space

A

Three statute miles Visibility and 1000 feet above the clouds 500 feet below the clouds and 2000 feet laterally

24
Q

Best rate of climb Vy

A

Produces most altitude gained over given amount of time

25
Q

What is best angle of climb Vx

A

Produces most altitude gain over a given horizontal distance

26
Q

What is absolute ceiling of an aircraft

A

Where best angle of climb and best rate of climb lines intersect

27
Q

What is P factor

A

The asymmetric condition resulting from the center of thrust of the propeller moving to the right due to increasing AOA of descending blade

28
Q

When to start leveling off

A

10% of the rate of climb so if rate of climb is 500 ft./min. start leveling off 50 feet prior

29
Q

What is partial power descent

A

Also called cruise or email route descent . Airspeed and pitch for prolonged descent should be used. 500 Fpm

30
Q

What is descent at minimum safe airspeed

A

Nose high poser assisted decent condition principally used for clearing obstacles during approach to Short runways
your speed is normally no greater than 1.3 VSO

31
Q

What is glide ratio

A

Distance airplane travels in relation to the altitude of this

32
Q

What is best glide air speed

A

Speed where plane travels greatest distance forward for given altitude loss
Also highest lift to drag Point

33
Q

What is minimum sink speed

A

Maximize the time in airplane remains in flight and is usually a lower airspeed than the best glide speed

34
Q

What is the cardinal rule of airplane flying with regards to glide

A

A pilot should never attempt to stretch a glide by applying back elevator pressure in reducing the airspeed below the best glide speed

35
Q

Describe the biggest hazard in a low level gliding turn

A

If the rudder is excessively deflected in the direction of the Bank and the pilot is increasing elevator back pressure in an attempt to retain altitude the situation can turn into an recoverable spin

36
Q

What is a cross control condition in a gliding airplane

A

Pilot depressing rudder pedal with excessive pressure that causes plane to bank in direction of rudder deflection and then pilot applies opposite aileron to prevent bank from increasing while applying elevator back pressure will almost certainly result in rapid and unrecoverable spin

37
Q

What are class echo VFR weather mins

A

Below 10k ft
3 sm vis 1000 ft above 500 below 2 k ft lateral
Above 10 k ft
5 sm vis 1k ft above 1k ft below 1 sm lateral

38
Q

Class golf airspace VFR weather mins

A

1sm vis
Clear of clouds or
1k ft above 500 ft below 2k ft lateral depending on altitude
At night 3sm vis

39
Q

Is flying airplane an open or closed energy system

A

Open

40
Q

What is power available

A

Rate of energy gain due to max available engine thrust equal to T times V expressed in HP

41
Q

What is power required

A

Rate of energy loss due to total drag at a given airspeed usually measured in horsepower

42
Q

What is specific excess power piece (Ps)

A

Rate of energy change measured in feet per minute

43
Q

How do you Calculate Specific excess power (Ps)

A

Take the difference between power available and power required and divide by the airplanes weight

44
Q

What is energy height or total specific energy (Es)

A

Airplanes total energy per unit weight which is found by inviting the sum of potential energy in kinetic energy by the airplanes weight

45
Q

What is LOC-I

A

Loss of control in flight
