Cross Country Flashcards
On the ICAO flight plan, what is entered in item 15, “Level”?
Initial cruising altitude
In filing a flight plan, For flights partially under IFR and partially VFR
File 2 separate flight plans
How to close a VFR flight plan at a controlled airport…
Call flight service
Or
Ask ATC to contact flight service to close
In severe turbulence, you should maintain…
Level flight (power to V a)
A way to remember aileron/elevator position while taxiing….
Turn yoke into headwind
Turn yoke away from tailwind
Position elevator to make wind push it downward
What is magnetic variation?
Difference between true north and magnetic north
How to determine true course
(TC)
Use the plotter…
To determine magnetic course…
True course + variation
Determine Magnetic Heading…(MH)
Magnetic Course + Wind Correction Angle
Before applying wind on the E6B to get the wind correction angle (wca) …
You must apply the variation to the given wind direction before entering on the E6B
UNLESS you are only calculating time en route. (In this case use TC and the given wind direction which is given in true)
Give the string formula from true course to compass heading.
TC + VAR = MC
MC + WCA = MH
MH + compass error = CH
If your course is from a VOR, how do you get MC?
Use the compass rose.
No adjustment is needed such as variation.
For questions requiring a wind triangle the longest segment is the…
TH & Airspeed
What process to use for time zone corrections,
1-Convert local TO time to Z
2- add flight time to land
3- apply zone correction (if asked to give local time)
Just prior to touchdown on a crosswind landing, the longitudinal axis of the plane should be parallel to
The direction of motion
