Block 6 Exam Flashcards
When do we start cross-country instruction?
- Form the very first flight the student takes
- The point of flying is to get from point A to point B
What subject areas should you cover with a student in preparation for an xc flights?
- Navigational Methods (pilotage, dead reckoning, radio)
- A/c Performance
- Weight and Balance
- Weather theory
- Airspace Regualtions
- Radio communications
- Flight planning/calculations
What experiences should you provide the student on dual cross-country flight? (Part 61 vs 141)
Part 61: - 3 hours dual - Night xc - 5 hours solo (150nm trip with 3 points and 1 segment over 50nm) Part 141: - 3 hours dual - Night xc - SOLO xc flight (100nm trip total with 3 points and 1 segment over 50nm)
What experiences should you provide the student on dual cross-country flight? (what to do on dual xc flights?)
- Get the student “lost”
- Teach them how to calculate ATE/actual GS/etc. in flight on E6B
- Go to different airports
- Dim the MFD
- Opening/closing flight plans
- Refueling the a/c
What are some common student errors you will see when teaching cross-country operations?
- Poor understanding on how to operate and communicate at new airports
- Over reliance on GPS
- Efficiency
- GS checks on E6B
What are the standards for xc (navigation) for Private Pilot?
Maintaining altitude +/-200’ and headings +/- 15 degrees, along with the appropriate Knowledge and Risk Management aspects of:
- Pilotage and Dead Reckoning
- Navigation Systems and Radar Services
- Diversion
- Lost Procedures
Why do we teach radio navigation?
- Under certain circumstances it becomes our primary form of navigation!
(IFR, lack of landmarks, low visibility) - FAR requirement
What important elements of Radio Navigation must a student know?
- Terminology:
- Differences between VOR, ADF GPS, etc. - Systems Operations:
- Theory, equipment, limitations, errors
What are some of the common student errors associated with teaching radio navigation?
- Understanding WHAT the navaids are telling them
- Orientation in relationship to the navaid
- Tracking/intercepting
What are the completion standards for radio navigation?
Altitude +/-200’
Headings +/- 20 degrees
Airspeed +/- 10 knots
- Along with the appropriate Knowledge and Risk Management aspects
Why we need to teach weather services to primary pilots?
- Performance
- Safety
- Regulations
- Student must know how to obtain, analyze and recognize critical wx situations before
- Making a competent go/no go OR diversion decision
What areas of weather services do primary pilots have to know?
idk
What are common errors associated with weather services?
- Don’t know the 4 types of wx briefings
- Don’t know sources
- Trouble reading reports/forecasts
- Cannot put MEANING to it
What are standards for weather knowledge of primary pilots?
Acs
What areas of weather services do student pilots seeking cross country privileges have to know?
idk
