122.9
the distance you should operate from a tower to avoid hitting guy wires
2000 feet
occurs when the wing exceeds its critical angle of attack
stalls
supposed to be defined in the Pilot’s operating handbook for UAS flight manual, but those don’t exist for drones
Center of Gravity (CG) limits
determines when the craft stalls. This doesn’t change if the vehicle weight changes
angle of attack
increases during any maneuver
load factor
this is the answer to any question about who is responsible
Remote PIC
Aircraft always turn in this direction when circling a runway. drivers sit on this side of the car in the US and pilots also sit on this side. its easier for them to look out of this side of the window to see the tower
Left
You’re supposed to have one, even though most drones can’t be user-repaired and don’t provide it
maintenance schedule
helps to prevent an accident chain
Risk management
taking risks to impress others
machismo
doing something without thinking about it
impulsivity
thinking accidents won’t happen to you
invulnerability
what’s the use? they don’t control their destiny
resignation
nobody can tell me what do do
anti-authority
its how you manage your “crew” and you should integrate it into all phases of the operation
crew resource management (CRM)
thats how you should scan for traffic
systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals. let your eyes rest in different areas for a while rather than continuoysly scanning
is like climbing a ladder (north-south)
latitude
is the long way around the planet (the earth is fat cuz it spins)
longitude
contains the weather forecast
standard briefing
is for weather info
AWOS
is for pilots to talk to each other when there’s no tower
CTAF
