CFI MX,REGS,AIRSPACE Flashcards
Service Bulletins
are notices to aircraft operators from a manufacturer notifying them of a product improvement
Airworthiness Directives
are issued when the FAA finds that an unsafe condition exists in a product (aircraft, aircraft engine, propeller, or appliance.)
Special Flight Permit
may be issued to any U.S. registered aircraft that may not currently meet applicable Airworthiness Requirements but is capable for safe flight.
The following is not all inclusive (refer to 14 CFR Part 21.197), but lists the most common requests for special flight permits in this district.
- Flying the aircraft to a base where repairs, alterations, or maintenance are to be performed, or to a point of salvage
- Delivering or exporting the aircraft
- Production flight testing new production aircraft
- Evacuating aircraft from areas of impending danger
- Conducting customer demonstration flights in a new production aircraft that have satisfactorily completed production flight tests
- To authorize the operation of an aircraft at a weight in excess of its maximum certificated takeoff weight
Minimum Equipment List
the specific inoperative equipment document for a particular make and model aircraft by serial and registration numbers;
The MEL is admissible if?
for a particular type aircraft, the MMEL’s preamble, the procedures document, and a LOA. The FAA considers the MEL as an STC. As such, the MEL permits operation of the aircraft under specified conditions with certain equipment inoperative.
Repair Category A
Items in this category shall be repaired within the time interval specified in the remarks column of the operator’s approved MEL. For time intervals specified in “calendar days” or “flight days,” the day the malfunction was recorded in the aircraft maintenance record/logbook is excluded.
Category B
Items in this category shall be repaired within three (3) consecutive calendar days (72 hours), excluding the day the malfunction was recorded in the aircraft maintenance record/logbook.
Category C
Items in this category shall be repaired within ten (10) consecutive calendar days (240 hours), excluding the day the malfunction was recorded in the aircraft maintenance record/logbook.
Category D.
Items in this category shall be repaired within one hundred and twenty (120) consecutive calendar days (2880 hours), excluding the day the malfunction was recorded in the aircraft maintenance log and/or record
Type Certificate Data- Sheets
Specifications are documents issued Acting Director, Flight standards Service id by the FAA which describes the aircraft’s airworthiness requirements relating to a specific type, make, and model of aircraft. These documents are available at a FSDO.
Restricted Areas
contain airspace identified by an area on the surface of the earth within which the flight of aircraft, while not wholly prohibited, is subject to restrictions.
Restricted areas denote
existence of unusual, often invisible, hazards to aircraft such as artillery firing, aerial gunnery, or guided missiles.

SECTION 99.7 – SPECIAL SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS
§91.145Management of aircraft operations in the vicinity of aerial demonstrations and major sporting events.
AN AREA DEFINED AS: 3 NMR OF A QUALIFYING STADIUM OR OTHER SPORTING VENUE HOSTING A QUALIFYING EVENT UP TO AND INCLUDING 3000FT AGL. QUALIFYING LOCATIONS AND EVENTS ARE DEFINED AS ANY STADIUM OR OTHER SPORTING VENUE HAVING A SEATING CAPACITY OF 30,000 OR MORE
Flight restricted airspace area for an aerial demonstration
The amount of airspace needed to protect persons and property on the surface or in the air, to maintain air safety and efficiency, or to prevent the unsafe congestion of aircraft will vary depending on the aerial demonstration
The restricted airspace area will normally be limited to a air show is
5 nautical mile radius from the center of the demonstration and an altitude 17000 mean sea level (for high performance aircraft) or 13000 feet above the surface (for certain parachute operations),
Military Operations Areas
airspace of defined vertical and lateral limits established for the purpose of separating certain military training activities from IFR traffic.
Therefore, pilots approaching a MOA should contact any FSS within
100 miles of the area to obtain accurate real-time information concerning the MOA hours of operation.
Prohibited Areas
contain airspace of defined dimensions identified by an area on the surface of the earth within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited. Such areas are established for security or other reasons associated with the national welfare
91.903
) The Administrator may issue a certificate of waiver authorizing the operation of aircraft in deviation from any rule listed in this subpart if the Administrator finds that the proposed operation can be safely conducted under the terms of that certificate of waiver.
National Security Areas
consist of airspace of defined vertical and lateral dimensions established at locations where there is a requirement for increased security and safety of ground facilities. Pilots are requested to voluntarily avoid flying through the depicted NSA.
Alert Areas
depicted on aeronautical charts to inform nonparticipating pilots of areas that may contain a high volume of pilot training or an unusual type of aerial activity. Pilots should be particularly alert when flying in these areas.
Warning Areas
warning area is airspace of defined dimensions, extending from three nautical miles outward from the coast of the U.S., that contains activity that may be hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft.
