Magnetic Track (SDA)
True Track (NDA)

37
Q

At what altitude do crusing altitudes come into effect?

A

3000ft AGL

38
Q

For VFR flight, If your TRACK is from 000 degrees to 179 degrees (easterly), what altitudes can you fly at?

A

Odd thousands of feet, plus 500.

1500
3500
5500
7500

39
Q

For VFR flight, If your TRACK is between 180 degrees and 359 degrees (westerly), what altitudes can you fly at?

A

Even thousands of feet, plus 500
2500
4500
6500
8500

40
Q

In IFR Flight, what are the crusing altitudes?

A

Same as the VFR altitudes but without the added 500ft

West East
1000 2000
3000 4000
5000 6000
7000 8000

41

What are crusing altitudes at or above FL180?

A
42
Q

When do Flight Time and Air Time start and end and which one goes in your log book?

A

Flight Time (Hobbs, the one that goes in your log book) starts as soon as the aircraft moves under its own power for the purpose of flight and comes to an end once an aircraft comes to rest at the end of a flight

Air Time is wheels up to wheels down, and is used to determin the next inspection. It gets recorded in the Journey Logbook

43

A Sterile Flight Deck includes:
