Other Flashcards
What wind conditions prolongs the hazards of wake turbulence on a landing runway for the longest period of time?
Light quartering tailwind
A tailwind condition can move the vortizes of the preceding aircraft forward into the touchdown zone.
A direct tailwind will move the vort. down the runway away from TDZ
A direct headwind will move the vort. more quickly from the TDZ
What service is provided by departure control to an IFR flight when operating within the outer area of Class C airspace?
Separation from all IFR aircraft and participating VFR aircraft.
In Class C airspace, ATC provides separation between IFR and VFR aircraftand sequencing of VFR aircraft to the primary airport
MOAs are established to what?
Separate certain military activities from IFR traffic
What does the miniature aircraft of the turn coordinator directly display?
Rate of roll and rate of turn
The miniature airplane on the turn coordinator does not directly indicate angle of bank. It indicates rate of roll while rolling into a turn and rate of turn once established.
During normal operation of a vacuum driven attitude indicator, what altitude indication should you see when rolling out of a 180* skidding turn to straight and level coordinated flight?
The miniature aircraft shows a turn into the direction opposite the skid.
Because of the operation of the gyro, after skidding 180* turn to straight and level coordinated flight, the miniature aircraft shows a turn in the direction opposite the skid, relative to the precessed horizon bar.
When an aircraft is decelerated, some attitude indicators will precess and incorrectly indicate a
decent
When an aircraft is accelerated some attitude indicators wil indicate an
climb
One characterisitic that a properly functioning gyro depends upon for operation is the
resistance to deflection of the spinning wheel or disk
This is the princicap of rigity.
What indication is presented by the miniature aircraft of the turn indicator?
Indirect indication of the bank attitude
The miniature AC of the turn indicator indicates the rate of turn and rate of roll. Indirectly it indicates bank attitude.
If a 180* steep turn is made to the right and the aircraft is rolled out to straight and level flight by visual references, the attitude indicator may
show a flilght climb and turn
Attitude indicators are free from most errors, but there is a possibility of a small bank angle and pitch error after 180* turn. This error is due to precession. A slight climb and turn would be indicated.
Errors in both pitch and bank attitudes on al attitude indicator are usually at a maximum as the aircraft rolls out of a
180* turn
This error is due to precession
During normal coordinated turns, what error due to precession should you observe when rolling out of a straight and level flight from 180* steep turn to the right?
The miniature aircraft would show a slight indication to the left
On an IAP, if the localizer freq is underlined on the plan view, what does it indicate?
The underlined localizer frequency indicates no voice capability.
How can the pilot determine, for an ILS runway equipped with MALSR (Medium Intensity Approach Lighting), that there may be a penetration of the obstacle identification surfaces (OIS), and care should be taken in the visual segment to avoid any obstacles?
The published visibility for the ILS is no lower than 3/4 SM.
For a ILS runway equipped with MALSR, a publlished visibility of 3/4 SM or greater may indicate that there is at least one obstacle penetrating the 31:1 OIS. Care should be taken in the visual segment to avoid this possible obstacle.
What is the difference between the maltese cross and the “Z” shapped lightening bolt on a IAP?
The maltese cross is the FAF for a nonprecision approach
On an precision approach, the “Z” indicates the glide slope intercept AND the FAF
