-Purple line with dashes
Controlled Firing area?
-Operations suspended when aircraft spotted in area
-Can fly through
Prohibited Area?
-You need clearance to enter
Restricted Airspace?
-You can’t enter while it’s hot unless you have a clearance
Alert Area?
-High activity training or unusual area activity
-Exercise extreme caution
Warning Area?
-Can be hazardous to non-participating aircraft
National Security Area?
-Pilots are recommended to avoid these areas
-Can issue NOTAM to make it mandatory to avoid these areas
What is a stall?
Exceeding the critical angle of attack
Can you go into a spin without a stall?
No
What is the angle of attack?
The angle between the relative wind and chord line
What’s the critical angle of attack?
-the aerodynamic constant for a given airfoil in a given configuration
-the angle where the velocity of the relative wing doesn’t matter, the airfoil will always stall at the AOA.
What is the beginning of the white arch on the ASI?
Vso
What is the beginning of the green arch on the ASI?
Vs1
What is the end of the white arch on the ASI?
Vfe
What is the green arc on the ASI?
the normal operating range of the aircraft
What is the end of the green arc?
Vno
What is Vno?
Maximum structural cruising speed
What is the red line on the ASI?
Vne
What is pressure altitude?
Altitude above the datum plane (29.92)
How does high density altitude affect the aircraft?
Negatively affects lift, thrust, and horsepower
What does a forward CG do?
-Recovers easier from stall
-Better stability
-Higher stall speed
What does an aft CG do?
-Worse stability
-Lower stall speed
-Harder to recover from stall
What is a cold front?
Leading edge of an air mass that is cooler
What traits does a cold front have?
25 MPH
Bad visibility
Often thunderstorms and precipitation
Who can perform a 100 hour?
An A&P

What is hypoxia?
Lack of oxygen to the body as a whole
What is histotoxic?
Inability for cells to make use of oxygen. (Drugs/Alcohol)
What are TFRs?
-NOTAM FDCs
-Temporary Flight Restriction
Do not fly into them unless on IFR flight plan and cleared to do so
