Information Flashcards
Where can you find the INOP equipment checklist
91.213 and AC 91-67
Variation
The angle between True North and Magnetic North
Where can you find a list of Preventive Maintenance you’re able to perform
Appendix A, Part 43
What does Category, Class, and Type define
Category is Aircraft, Balloon, Rotorcraft, etc.
Class is SEL, MEL, SES, MES
Type is C172M, C180, Piper Cherokee, etc.
Vicinity Defined
5 S.M. from your current position
What are the rules on Substance
91.17 states No person may act or attempt to act as PIC or crew member within 8 hours after consumption of alcohol, under the influence of alcohol (includes hangovers), using any drug that affects a person that’ll affect safety, and having a BAC of 0.04 or greater
Airport Light Gun Signals
Green (Air: Cleared to Land, Ground: Cleared for takeoff)
Flashing Green (Air: Return to Land, Ground: Cleared to Taxi)
Red (Air: Give way to other aircraft, Ground: Stop moving)
Flashing Red (Air: Airport unsafe do not land, Ground: Taxi Clear of the runway)
Red/Green Flashing (Exercise Extreme Caution)
White (Ground: Return to starting position)
AFM Requirements
AFM are required for aircraft that have been manufactured after a certain date, it’s required to be on board, it’s defined as a serial number part that is updated
What’s the best use of graphs for performance and weight and balance
Conservative Data, use one higher level of conservative data to provide safety, increase theoretical situation to provide safety.
Aft and Forward CG effects
Aft CG:
Decreases lateral stability
(Less Leverage with CG to Tail)
Lower Stall Speed
Higher Cruise Speed due to more forward pressure
Poor Stall/Spin Recovery
Forward CG:
Increased lateral Stability
(More Leverage with Tail)
Higher Stall Speed
(Due to higher AoA at level altitude)
Decreased cruise speed
(Due to trying maintain level altitude requires more back pressure increasing AoA)
Stalls Defined
Caused are when the airfoil reaches a critical angle of attack where air can no longer flow over the wings and lift is no longer produced.
Weight has a direct relation to lift which increases or decreases stall speed depending on how much lift is required to hold the aircraft in the air
Altitude affects air density which increases stall speed
Angle of Bank affects stall speed due to load factor increasing weight
Indications of a stall: Horn, Warning Light, Yoke lack of control, rudder lack of control
(Put this in weight and lift relation later)
Spins defined, recovery, and aggravated spins
Spins are aggravated stalls, which are caused by improper rudder or aileron control
Recovery of a spin is too remove throttle, apply full opposite rudder, keep ailerons neutral, and push elevator inward
Spins can be aggravated to turn into inverted spins if ailerons are used
What are some corrective actions in turbulence
Slow Aircraft down
What are some tools you can use to clear ear and sinus blockage
Gum, Mints, and anything that requires chewing
Where is the aircraft equipment list in the POH/AFM
Section 2 of the Weight and Balance
Where is the kinds of operation equipment list
Limitations of POH/AFM
When should you do the weight and balance
You should know the weight range of before the flight and at the end of the flight
Wing Loading increases what?
Stall speed by increasing AoA
Load on aircraft structure
How does slow flight work
Pulling back power and Increasing AoA to remain level altitude
Which profile chart is better to understand the range, for all atmospheric conditions
The Endurance Profile
When are you supposed to change VORs on an airway
Halfway to the airway
Where does To and From lie on each radial
The 180 degrees on the half of the circle closest to the radial is From and the 180 degrees on the furthest half of the circle from the radial is To
What is Fuel directly related to
Gallons, Weight, and Time to stay in the air
When using profile charts what should you be aware of
How does Power % affect flight management
Do MOAs require clearance to enter
no
What do the large quadrant numbers represent
The Altitude where you will miss the highest object in that quadrants altitude
What is Two-Way communication
When the ATC calls your callsign
What do Arrows on airways represent
Where the nearest ground station is
Which procedure should be made when radio communication is out entering a controlled airport
Enter in normal pattern procedures, make 500’ wider traffic pattern and rock wings as hard as possible when passing tower.
What do Large Rectangles represent on runways
1000’ from threshold
What do double white lines on runways represent
every 500’
Are runways magnetic or true
Magnetic
Are winds aloft given in magnetic or true
True
What are winds units in large distances and airports
At airports winds are magnetic because runways are magnetic
At long ranges winds are true
How can you prepare if something goes wrong during a flight
Survival Gear, Natural Fiber Clothing, and a way to create heat
Form Drag Defined
The separation of air and the wake created by the separation, form drag is dependent on the shape of the obstruction.
Skin Friction Drag Defined
friction of air and surface moving through it
Interference Drag Defined
mixing of airflow at conjunctions between different aircraft parts air streamline flow, create a interference between each other.
Induced Drag Defined
high pressure chases low pressure and at the wingtips the high pressure moves around the wing and chases the low pressure creating a vortice.
Ground Effect Defined
Coming into interference with the ground drag flowing off the aircraft comes into contact with the ground increasing pressure as it is put under the aircraft creating a cushion of air.
VOT defined
VOR testing facility
