Q

In regards to Spins, what do we teach? (4)

A
  • We teach spin AWARENESS
    1. Aerodynamics of the 4 phases
    2. Flight situations where spins could occur
    3. Orientation in space
    4. Anxiety
19
Q

Why do we teach students about Airports and Airspace? (3)

A
  1. So they can function properly in the environment
  2. Provides safety rules (wx mins)
  3. Required to teach before solo (61.87)
20
Q

What Airports and Airspace should be taught to a student pre-solo?

A

The immediate airports and airspace they will be flying in

21
Q

What Airports and Airspace should be taught to a student pre-CERTIFICATION?

A

All aspects of airports and airspace that they can operate on/in with a PPL

22
Q

Describe a Forward-Slip. When would you use it?

A
  • The a/c’s longitudinal axis is NOT aligned with the runway
    (applying full opposite rudder, hold aileron deflection to maintain flight path)
  • Increases the rate of descent without increasing airspeed
  • Use when you are high on approach
23
Q

Describe a Side-Slip. When would you use it?

A
  • The a/c’s longitudinal axis IS aligned with the runway
    (applying just enough rudder to keep the nose straight and a/c’s longitudinal axis aligned with runway, and a/c is banked)
  • Use for crosswind landings
24
Q

During a Soft-Field takeoff, the goal of holding significant back pressure is:

A

To transfer the weight of the a/c off the wheels an to the wings as soon as possible

25
Q

What is the PURPOSE of a lesson plan? (4)

A
  • Assure student gets best instruction possible
  • Help instructor keep track of activity
  • Help with material selection
  • Promote uniformity of instruction
26
Q

What are the 7 CHARACTERISTICS of a good Lesson Plan?

A

FU CRIPS

  1. Flexibility
  2. Unity
  3. Content
  4. Relationship (to course of training)
  5. Instructional Steps
  6. Practicality
  7. Scope
27
Q

What are the 7 main items/sections of a Lesson Plan? What should be listed in each?

A
  1. Lesson Objectives - what student will learn
  2. Completion Standards - how to measurably achieve objectives
  3. Content - contains the next 4
  4. Preflight - goes over first 2, wx
  5. Review - related topics from previously learned topics
  6. Introduction - what you will be doing today
    7 Postflight - critique performance, preview next lesson, give assignment
28
Q

Explain the development/content of a flight Training Syllabus. (4)

A

ABCD

  1. Abstract of the course of training
  2. BLOCKS of learning
  3. Comprehensive (cover essential info)
  4. Defined objectives and standards
29
Q

What is the primary USE of a Training Syllabus?

A
  • Used primarily as a guide

- Flexible for adapting to wx and student progress

30
Q

When should you start transmitting on CTAF when inbound to an uncontrolled airport?

A

10 miles out

31
Q

Explain the common errors involved in learning airspace, airports and communications?

A

Students are unable to APPLY what they have learned because no one has asked them to.

32
Q

What are the differences between controlled airspace and uncontrolled airspace?

A
  • Controlled: where you CAN talk to ATC if you want and get services
  • Uncontrolled: where ATC has no authority or responsibility to control traffic
33
Q

Why does the minimum visibility and cloud separations rule increase above 10,000?

A

Because the speed of aircraft flying above 10,000 is much faster

34
Q

What are the differences between Class B, Class C and TRSA operations?

A

B - everyone is sepearated

C - IFR and VFR traffic sequencing/separation to airports

35
Q

What are the Terminal Radar Service Programs for VFR Pilots? (4)

A
  1. Class B - everyone is separated
  2. Class C - provides IFR and VFR sequencing to airports
  3. Basic - what KGFK has, ATC provides safety alerts but not separation (still must see and avoid)
  4. TRSA
36
Q

What happens when Class D airspace extends into overlying Class B airspace?

A

idk

37
Q

What happens when Class D airspace is not continuous?

A

idk

38
Q

Explain pattern entry procedures for both controlled and uncontrolled airports.

A
  • For uncontrolled enter 45 on the downwind and announce you location on CTAF
  • For controlled you will follow instructions the tower gives you
39
Q

Explain pattern departure procedures for both controlled and uncontrolled airports.

A
  • Uncontrolled: Continue straight out (rwy heading) up to TPA, and leave on a 45 of the upwind once beyond the departure end of the rwy
40
Q

Describe Special VFR

A
  • Need 1 sm and remain Clear of Clouds

- Clearance allowing VFR a/c to enter or depart controlled airspace with less than VFR wx minimums (w/o IFR clearance)

41
Q

When should you begin monitoring/transmitting on tower frequency when inbound to a controlled airport?

A

15 miles out

42
Q

What are the VFR wx mins of all CONTROLLED airspace?

A 
A - IFR
B - 3sm/COC
C - 3sm/500 b, 1000 a, 2000 h
D - 3sm/500 b, 1000 a, 2000 h
E < 10,000 - 3sm/500 b, 1000 a, 2000 h
E > 10,000 - 5sm/1000 b, 1000 a, 1sm h
43
Q

What are the VFR wx mins for class G airspace?

A

Draw your chart

44
Q

What are the communication and a/c equipment requirements for all airspace?
