For operation of an aircraft with operating transponder, but without Mode C capability, the request can be made at anytime

For operation of an aircraft with inoperative transponder and to a destination where repairs can be made, the request can be made at any time

For operation of an aircraft that is not equipped with a transponder. The request must be made at least one hour out.

Q

Bernoulli’s principle

A

Daniel Bernoulli was a Swiss physicist
The discovery of Bernoulli’s principle led to the understanding of pressure differences acting on an airfoil. He discovered this principle and explained the theory by demonstrating it with the use of a Venturi.
An increase in velocity correlates with a decrease in pressure. So when dynamic pressure is increased, static pressure is decreased and vise versa.

Q

Right of way rules

A

B. BALOON
G. GLIDER
A. Airship
A. Airplane
R. Rotorcraft.

Head on: each will give way to the right
Converging : aircraft to the right has the right away
Overtaking : if overtaking an aircraft, you must pass on the right

116
Q

Night vision

A

Nine operations are best when using off-center viewing. Rods are used predominantly for nighttime viewing. Rods are more sensitive to light than cones. Cones are concentrated near the fovea. Rods are responsible for most peripheral vision.

117
Q

Visual scanning

A

25% of the time should be on instruments, 75% of the time should be viewing outside the aircraft. 
Scanning should be in 10° increments from left to right and top to bottom 

118
Q

Rod cells

A

Used in periods of low, light and darkness. Produces rhodopsin. 

119
Q

Cone cells

A

Used in periods of bright light
Identifies colors and sharp, visual acuity, and are concentrated in the fovea
Produces Iodopsin
Concentration of cone cells in the fovea can create a night Blindspot in the center of the field of vision 

120
Q

Myopia

A

Nearsightedness
Caused by refractive errors in the lens which focuses objects in front of the retinal plane 

121
Q

Hyperopia

A

Farsightedness
Caused by refractive errors where the focal point of the eye is behind the retinal plane

122
Q

Where is ADSB – out required?
Automatic dependent surveillance broadcast

A

As of 1/1/2020

-class A, B, C airspace
-In and above B, C up to 10,000 feet MSL
