  • Aerodrome:
A

Any area of land, water (including the frozen surface thereof)or other supporting surface used, designed, prepared, equipped or set apart for use, either in whole or in part, for the arrival, departure, movement or servicing of aircraft. This includes any buildings, installations and equipment situated thereon or associated therewith.

Q
  • Class C
A

Class C airspace is common around airports ranging from big international hubs to some local/regional airports as well. Class C starts at the ground and typically has a radius between 3, 5 or 7NM from the centre of the aerodrome. Factors like other airports, terrain and busyness determine how large this radius is. Airspace isn’t always round, either, for similar reasons. You can remember that class C requires a clearance.

Q
  • Class F:
A

These areas are marked on maps to show locations where there’s a designated activity taking place. This could be flight training, helicopter operations, aerobatics, parachuting- all kinds of things! Many of the types of activities taking place can bring aircraft all the way to the ground or very close to it, making it unsafe for UAV flight unless some coordination is taking place between pilots. No recreational or exemption flights can take place within class F and those applying for an SFOC will have to show how they plan on ensuring they can operate safely given the activities taking place. CYR class F is restricted airspace. CYRs cover things like prisons, forest fire areas, airshows, and military areas. They are no-go zones unless you’ve coordinated with the agency that controls the institution.
- Advanced operations only - to operate in controlled airspace (Classes C, D or E) you need to ask NAV CANADA for an RPAS Flight Authorization

Q
  • Control Station:
A

Control station device and cables (tablet, phone, laptop, or other).
- Above Ground Level, or AGL, describes the literal height above the ground over which you’re flying.VS ASL It’s the average height above standard sea level where the atmospheric pressure is measured in order to calibrate altitude.

Q

drag

A

air friction which opposes the motion of an object through the air

Parasitic drag
-is the drag caused by structure ofthe aircraft resisting the flow of air
-increases with more speed

Induced Drag
- caused as a result of lift
-downwash of air from the wing due to angle of attack
- drag decreases with speed

Q

Two principles of lift creation are?

A

Newton’s laws of motion and Bernoulli’s principle
-provide fundamental understanding of how aircrafts use air to produce lift through propellers and wings

1.) Laws of motion
-Air has mass so it behaves according to newtons law
-Newtons 3rd law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite rection
-It is the “action” of the aircraft on the air and the air’s “reaction” that is primary reason for flight

ex: a propeller pushes air backwards and the opposite reaction is for the plane to move forwards

Q

4 distinct forces on an aircraft

A

Lift (Up)
-is the force required by an aircraft to overcome its weight and become airborne

Thrust (Forward)
- is the force that pulls the aircraft through the air usually generated by a prop

Drag (Backwards)
- is the resistance of the air to the motion of the aircraft (and all its components)

Weight (Down)
-is the force of gravity on the aircraft and its contents

Stalls

A

Q

Indicate which statement is the most accurate regarding conditions of high ambient temperature versus low ambient temperature conditions on aircraft takeoff performance

A

D

232
Q

Density altitude

A

Density altitude is pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature. As temperature and altitude increase, air density decreases. In a sense, it’s the altitude at which the airplane “feels” its flying.

233
Q

How will density altitude affect flight?

A

On a hot and humid day, the aircraft will accelerate more slowly down the runway, will need to move faster to attain the same lift, and will climb more slowly. The less dense the air, the less lift, the more lackluster the climb, and the longer the distance needed for takeoff and landing. Fewer air molecules in a given volume of air also result in reduced propeller efficiency and therefore reduced net thrust. All of these factors can lead to an accident if the poor performance has not been anticipated.

Q

…………………of a wing is the point where the Lift acts

A

Centre of pressure

251
Q

On a wing that is covered in frost, the separation point of laminar airflow and turbulent airflow

A

On a contaminated wing, however, the roughness in the laminar region of an airfoil causes the point of separation between laminar and turbulent flow to move upstream from its normal position in a non-uniform and non-predictable way. This upstream movement dramatically decreases the maximum lift coefficient at relatively high angles of attack, leading to premature stalls.
