What are some private pilot regulations and limitations?
You cannot fly for hire, and cannot pay less than pro rata when flying passengers
What are the required documents for flying once you get your PPL?
Pilot Certificate
Medical Certificate
Photo ID
What is currency vs proficiency?
Currency is the legal side (flight review, 3 takeoffs/landings every 90 days)
Proficiency is if you feel comfortable with flying, if not get with a CFI
What are the nighttime regulations for carrying passengers, if you are not current?
You may not act as PIC
1 hour after sunset until 1 hour before sunrise
3 takeoffs and 3 landings to a full stop within 90 days
Day time currency requirements to carry passengers?

8 hours bottle to throttle
Must be less than 0.04% BAC
What is Basic Med?
61.113
Aircraft can't carry more than 6 people Max Takeoff weight of 6,000 lbs No more than 5 passengers onboard No higher than 18,000 ft. No faster than 250 knots Medical exam checklist in logbook Course completion for aeromedical factors
Must visit a PCP every 4 years
What are the pitot static instruments?
Airspeed indicator
Altimeter
Vertical speed indicator
What are the instruments in the 6 pack?
Airspeed indicator Attitude indicator Altimeter Turn coordinator Heading indicator Vertical Speed Indicator
What is the magnetic compass?
Instrument used to determine the heading in relation to the earths magnetic North
Magnetic compass errors?
Variation Deviation Dip Errors Northerly/Southerly turning errors Acceleration errors Oscillation error
What is the variation error of the magnetic compass?
The difference between Magnetic and True directions
What is Deviation for magnetic compass errors?
Magnets that might throw off compass alignment in the airplane
Such as metals, phones
How can you prevent the deviation magnetic error?
“Swinging the compass” by Maintenance Technician
What are the dip errors on a magnetic compass?
Magnetic compass will tilt due to magnetic force
UNOS?
Undershoot North, Overshoot South
What is the formula to correct for UNOS?
1/2(Lattitude) + 15
What is the acceleration error of the magnetic compass?
ANDS
ANDS?
Accelerate North Decelerate South
What is oscillation error of the magnetic compass?
A combination of multiple errors, could happen while going through turbulence.
Where does the cabin heat come from?
Exhaust manifold
What should you be cautious about when turning on the cabin heat?
Carbon Monoxide poisoning
What is the emergency frequency?
121.5 frequency
What are the emergency squaks?
7500 - Hijack
7600 - loss of communication
7700 - Emergency
You are lost.. what should you do?
Confess Climb Circle Conserve Communicate
What is hyperventilation?
Too little carbon dioxide in blood
What is spatial disorientation?
The brain not properly interpreting the signals it receives from the rest of the body
What are the systems used to detect movement?
Vestibular- inner ear
Somatosensory- feeling with hands
visual system- eyes
What is the leans?
Happens when you enter a banked turn too slowly.
You feel like you’re upright, but you’re actually turning.
What is the Coriolis Illusion?
You stay in a constant turn long enough for the fluid in your ears to stop moving.
If you take a look elsewhere this could trick your brain into thinking your moving somewhere you’re not.
What is graveyard spiral?
Stay in a turn long enough, fluid in ears stop moving. When you return to level flight you feel like your turning in the opposite direction so you return back to the previous turn. Aircraft loses altitude so you pitch up, back tightening the spiral
What is somatogravic illusion?
Rapid acceleration (takeoff) makes you feel like your pitched up, so you pitch down
What is inversion illusion?
Quick change from climb to level flight may trick you to think your tumbling backward
What is elevator illusion?
Fast upward vertical acceleration (updraft) can trick you into being in a climb.
What are the different definitions of night?
Sunset to sunrise - lights
Civil twilights - log flight time
1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise - currency
