FAA Part 107 Flashcards
The time that must pass after you had alcohol.
8 hours
The maximum time you can take to file an FAA accident report.
10 days
The time you have to notify the FAA if you move.
30 days
The lead time required when requesting an FAA waiver.
90 days
How long this certification is good for.
24 months or 2 years
The twilight time before sunrise or after sunset when you can still fly.
30 minutes
The distance your anti-collision lights must be visible from when flying during twilight. Also the minimum visibility you must have while flying.
3 statute miles
Minimum number of feet below a cloud you must fly.
500 feet
Minimum number of feet horizontally from a cloud you must fly.
2000 feet
The repair cost of accident damage that requires you to report an accident to the FAA
$500
The “serious injury” AIS level that requires you to file an accident report.
Level 3
The MULTICOM frequency for self-announce procedures.
122.9
The distance you should operate from a tower to avoid hitting guy wires.
2000 feet
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 left when circling a runway, because drivers sit on the left side of the car in the US, and pilots sit on the left of the plane, too. It’s easier for them to look out the left window to see the tower.
Left
Helps to prevent an accident chain.
Risk management
It’s how you manage your “crew” and you
should integrate it into all phases of the operation.
Crew Resource Management (CRM)
AWOS is weather. CTAF is for pilots to talk to each other when there’s no tower. UNICOM is a base station that broadcasts to pilots when there’s no tower. MULTICOM is used as the CTAF when there’s no CTAF (122.9 or 122.95).
CTAF vs UNICOM vs MULTICOM vs AWOS
Warm air on top of cold air. Fog, haze, low clouds, poor
visibility, but smooth air.
Temperature Inversion
Turbulence (because the air is unstable), showery precipitation.
Moist, unstable air
Smooth air, poor visibility, and steady (not showery) precipitation (because stable air is usually humid).
Stable air
Intermittent precipitation.
Unstable air
Stable
Cool+Dry
Unstable
Hot and Humid
Just means “high altitude”. Air is thinner, so lift is decreased.
High Density Altitude
Means a rain cloud.
Nimbus
18004KT
Wind is 180 degrees at 4 knots. The first three digits (180) are the compass heading (180). The last two #s are the wind speed (04)
1 1/2SM
Visibility is 1 1⁄2 statute miles (SM)
