K Flashcards
FSS
Flight service station-122.2hz, continual broadcast of actual weather/thunderstorm info between pilot/weather breifing for ur route
FIS-B
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
Four fundamentals of flight
Straight/level, turn, climb, descent
Wind/temp aloft chart
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
Sigmet/airmet
Used to tell severe weather conditions, convective signet, signet, and airmet (for small light aircraft)
Sigmet
Severe icing, less than 3 SM, CAT (clear air turbulence), dust/sand/volcano ash storms, BUT NOT THUNDERSTORMS
Airmet
For small/light aircraft, moderate icing, visibility less than 3 SM, ceiling less than 1k ft, 30kt winds, mountain obscurement, CEILING
Convect signet
Included thinderstorms covered by lotd of clouds bc its tornadoes and shit and hail
Convect signet
Included thinderstorms covered by lotd of clouds bc its tornadoes and shit and hail
empty weight
permanent plane equipement (always: airframe, engine, optional special equipment: ballast, hydraulic fuel, unusable + undrainable fuel)
items in weight/balance computations have weight limits
AVGAS’ weight limit is 6lb/gallon, so u divide lbs by 6
CG (center of gravity)
equilibrium in longditudinal axis
Crosswind landing
Need to b parallel torunway on touchdown, longitudinal wise to minimize side load on landing gear
Landing downwind/tailwind
U will overshoot/land faster than normal
S turns
During full crosswind, crab the most during S turn
