Q

FIS-B

A

From ADS-B on 978 hz, gives way to all other weather radio services like TAF, dont use fof tactical manuvering bc cant update fast enough for localized weather phenomina, intended for anticipated changes to route weather

Q

Wind/temp aloft chart

A

Two digits r wind direction in deg true, then its wind speed kt, next no. Is temp, if strong winds a 50 is added to wind didection and 100 subtracted from speed, light and variable is used for less than 5 kts, coded with a 9900

Q

items in weight/balance computations have weight limits

A

AVGAS’ weight limit is 6lb/gallon, so u divide lbs by 6

16
Q

Heading

A

angle difference between direction the nose is pointing in, and true north TH, or magnetic heading MH the angle difference between direction the nose and magnetic north

17
Q

WCA

A

wind correction angle, difference between heading and intended course because wind makes u crab, wind coming from left and pushing u right gives u neg WCA, opp gives u pos WCA (when wind makes u crab u always crab into the wind) so if its pushing u right ur nose is pushing left so instead of going at a 90 angle from TH, ur now at an 80 angle from TH whihc is less than 90 so its neg

18
Q

TH

A

TH= TC (true course, the angle between true heading and the course) +- WCA

19
Q

MH

A

MH=MC (magnetic course, the angle between magnetic heading and the course) +-WCA

20
Q

latitude

A

across, 90deg to 0 (equator), to 90deg

21
Q

longitude

A

up/down, 0deg (prime meridian) to 180 deg (international date line (half way across world))

22
Q

long/lat mins

A

60 mins in one degree, 60 seconds in one min, one min= 1 NM nautical minute, (mins*60) + xtra mins + xtra seconds/60= NM from equator

23
Q

MAPS (red flag)

A

landmark (u can use for VFR to determine where u r)

24
Q

MAPS (caution)

A

it’ll tell u what the caution is

25
Q

MAPS (star on airport)

A

airport w rotating beacon (sectional charts)

26
Q

AC (advicsory circular)

A

an issued statement sayign something is not how it usually is, 20 aircraft, 60 airmen, 70 airspace, 90 airtraffic, letters mean the no. of times its been issued (1st is OG, A is 2nd time ect.), number after the hyphen is the area, i.e. AC 90-66B, airtraffic in area 66 has been updated 3 times, can be downloaded on faa website
