Q

If you experience lost comms during VFR flight, what should you do?

A
  • Plan to land at an appropriate non-towered airport, squawk 7600, call flight supervisor and flight service station if on a flight plan
22
Q

If you experience lost comms during IFR flight, what should you do?

A
  • Altitude = fly highest of “MEA”, minimum IFR altitude, Expected, or Assigned
  • Route = select route by this order “AVEF”, Assigned > Vector > Expected > Filed
  • If the clearance limit ends at a fix from which the approach begins = start descent and approach as close as possible to ETA/EFC
  • If the clearance limit does NOT end at a fix from which the approach begins = fly to clearance limit then fly to fix that begins an approach as close as possible to ETA/EFC
  • Squawk 7600
  • after landing contact ERAU flight operations
23
Q

What are the accident or incident notification procedures?

A
  • notify the flight supervisor as soon as possible
  • list the date and time, location, aircraft and tail number, number and type of injuries, description, name of person reporting
24
Q

What should you do if you experience an accident or incident while in the air?

A
  • contact a controlling agency, explain the situation, and ask them to notify ERAU
25
Q

What should you do if you get lost?

A
  1. fly the airplane
  2. use terrain and sectional to figure out position
  3. use navigation equipment
  4. get help from ATC
  5. monitor fuel
  6. land as soon as practical
26
Q

What are the 5 C’s?

A
  • climb, conserve, communicate, confess, comply
27
Q

When do you have to provide a landing safety briefing?

A
  • before all pre-solo dual training flights, supervised solo flights, and any flight resulting in the issuance of a PQ card
28
Q

What needs to be covered in a landing safety briefing?

A
  1. proper seat height and position
  2. point of visual focus during landings

30
Q

What is proper seat height and position?

A
  • good visibility over cowling

- consistent with previous flights

31
Q

Where should our point of visual focus be during landings?

A
  • if focus point too far = hard to tell height over runway
  • if focus point close = blurring of runway surface
  • as airspeed decreases = focus point become closer to airplane
32
Q

When must an immediate go-around be performed?

A
  • high round out
  • late or rapid rollout
  • excessive floating
  • ballooning
  • proposing
  • wind shear
  • any other factor placing good landing in doubt
33
Q

What are the conditions of a stable landing?

A
  • constant final approach pitch
  • properly trimmed
  • airspeed within 5 knots
