Block 3 Flashcards
What is the purpose of assessment?
an assessment provides critical information to both the instructor and the learner
Characteristics of an effective assessment?
Objective Flexible Acceptable Comprehensive Constructive Organized Thoughtful Specific
Objective
The personal opinions, likes, dislikes, or biases of the instructor might affect an assessment
Flexible
The instructor should evaluate the entire performance of a learner in the context which it is accomplished
Acceptable
Consider that learners do not like negative feedback
Comprehensive
A comprehensive assessment is not necessarily a long one, nor need it treat every aspect of the performance in detail
Constructive
An assessment is pointless unless the learner benefits from it
Organized
An assessment must be organized in logical pattern
Thoughtful
An assessment reflects the instructor’s thoughtfulness toward the leaner’s need for self-esteem, recognition, and approval
Specific
The instructor’s comments and recommendations should be specific

Puzzle
puzzling questions
Oversize
too broad and lots of answers
Toss up
has 2 very similar correct answers
Bewilderment
confusing questions
Trick Questions
battling the student with questions
Irrelvant
unrelated questions to training focus
Class A airspace
18000' - FL 600 Must be IFR equipped/rated Must have ATC Clearance 2-way radio Transponder mode c DME is required above FL240 if VOR must be used to fly the route. ADSB out No cloud clearances
Class B airspace
Sfc - 10000' MSL IFR or VFR Need ATC clearance Private/student pilot 2 way radio Mode C Transponder ADSB out 3 sm viz - clear of clouds
WHERE IS ADS-B OUT REQUIRED?
- Class A, B, and C airspace;
- Class E airspace at or above 10,000 feet msl, excluding airspace at and below 2,500 feet agl;
- Within 30 nautical miles of a Class B primary airport (the Mode C veil);
- Above the ceiling and within the lateral boundaries of Class B or Class C airspace up to 10,000 feet;
- Class E airspace over the Gulf of Mexico, at and above 3,000 feet msl, within 12 nm of the U.S. coast.
Class C airspace
sfc - 4000 AGL IFR/VFR Student certification 2-way radio communication mode c transponder ADSB out 3 viz - 152
Class D airspace
sfc - 2500 AGL IFR/VFR radio contact to enter Student certifcation 2 way radio 3 viz -152
Class E airspace starting points
-Magenta Dashed Lines Typically mean class Echo starts at the surface
-Magenta Shaded Outlines
Class Echo Starts at 700’ AGL
-Open Areas on the sectional – (US Border has blue shading)
Class Echo Starts at 1,200’ AGL
-Blue Shading (notice the shaded side faces the 1,200’ and solid face 14,500’)
By Default Class Echo Starts at 14,500’ MSL
-Blue Zipper
Indicates Altitudes on either side in which Class Echo Starts
Class E airspace details
sfc - 18000' MSL, FL 600 - space IFR/VFR ATC clearance for IFR student certificate below 10000' MSL = 3-152 above 10000' MSL = 5-111
Class G airspace starting points
-Within the magenta circle
Surface to 699’
-Unshaded areas
Surface to 1199’
-Blue Shading
On the solid line side, Surface to 14,499’
-Zipper
Golf below the specified Value
Class G airspace details
sfc - to up to 14,499' 1200' AGL or less day = 1 - COC 1200' AGL or less night = 3 - 152 More than 1200' AGL but less than 10000 MSL day =1-152 More than 1200' AGL but less than 10000 MSL night -3-152 10000' above = 5-111 In pattern at night = 1 - COC
Prohibited Airspace
can’t fly, solid blue with lines
Restricted Airspace
must get clearance , solid blue with lines
Special Flight Rules Area
An area of airspace where the ready identification, location, and control of aircraft is required in the interests of national security (red)
Pilot Requirements
-Operation within 60 NM requires special training course completion
-Must have valid SFRA flight plan to enter SFRA
10NM FRZ (Flight Restricted Zone) requires Pilot Pin on Flight plan – Finger printing and background checks
TFR
Temporary Flight Restriction (red)
-must have prior authorization
ADIZ
Air defense identification zone (pink line, with hashes)
- airspace surrounding borders
- must have 2 way radio communication
- Transponder
- flight plan
National Security Area
thick dashed magenta
requested to avoid, but not required
Warning Areas
Zig Zag Blue line
extend off coast 3 NM
can be hazardous to non-participating aircraft
not required to contact anyone
Alert Areas
pink line, with dashes
high volumes of training, skydiving, glider operations, etc.
Use extreme caution
Controlled Firing Areas
not depicted on map
spotter used on ground
MOA’s
Military operating areas (magenta with lines)
separates military operations from IFR traffic
can enter without clearance VFR, use extreme caution
TRSA
Terminal Radar Service Area
large grey circles
optional radar service
Military Training Routes
thin grey labeled lines use caution 4 numbers = below 1500 AGL 3 numbers = above 1500 AGL up to 10,000 Ft MSL typically 10 NM wide
Victor Airways
thin blue shaded lines
used for IFR navigation
use caution
8 NM wide
VFR Corridors
VFR path through bravo airspace
