FlightEnv(Safety), PPL Flashcards
Which a/c has the right-of-way over all other air traffic?
An a/c in distress.
Wht action is required when two a/c of the sam category converge, but not head-on?
The a/c on tge left shall give way
Which a/c has the right-of-way over the other a/c list(Glider, Airship, A/c refueling other aircraft)?
Glider
An airplane and an airsgip are converging. If the airship is left of the airplane’s position, which a/c has the right-of-way?
The airship
Which a/c has the right-of-way over the a/c list (Airship, a/c towing otger a/c, Gyroplan)?
A/c towing other a/c
What action should the pilots of a glider and an airplane take iff on a head-on collision course?
Both pilots should give way to the right
When two or more a/c are approaching an airport for thr purpose of landing, the right-of-way belongs to the a/c?
at the lower altitude, but it shall not take adventage of this rule to cut in front of or to overtake another
Except when nessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude for a pilot to operate an a/c anywhere?
An altitude allowing. if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface
Except when nessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude required for a pilot to operate an aircraft over congested ares?
An altitude of 1000ft above the hightest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2000 ft of the aircraft
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude required for a pilot to operate an aircraft over than a congested area?
An altitude of 500ft AGL, except over open water or a sparsely populated area, which requires 500ft from any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, an aircraft may not be operate closer than what distance from any person, vessel, vegicle, or structure?
500ft
When taxiing with strong quartering tailwinds. which ailerons positions should be used,
Aileron down on the side from which the wind is blowing
Which aileron position should a pilot generally use when taxiing in strong quartering headwind.
Aileron up on the side from which the wind is blowing
Which wind condition would be most critical when taxiing a nosewheel equipped high-wing airplane?
Quartering tailwind
Prior to startung each mabeuver, pilot should
visually scan the entire area for collision avoidance
What procedure ia recommended when climbing or descending VFR on an airway?
Execute gentle banks, left and right for continuous visual scanning of the airspace
What effect does haze have on the ability to see traffic or terrain feature during flight
All traffic or terrain features appear to be further away than their actual distance
The most effective methos of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during daylight hours is to use
a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to searcg each 10degree sector
Which technique should a pilot use to scan for traffic to the right and left during straight-to-level flight?
Systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals
How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft
There will be no apparent relative motion between your aircraft and the other aircraft
