Q

Special Flight permit.

What is it?

Where do I get it?

A

For A/C that may not meet airworthiness requirements but is capable of safe flight.

Flight service district office (FSDO) or Designated airworthiness Representative (DAR) issue because:

  • flying for mx
  • delivering or exporting A/C
  • testing new production A/C
  • evacuating A/C from danger
  • customer demonstration for new production A/C that has completed production flight tests.

Q

Convective SIGMET

A
  • Severe or greater turbulence.

- Thunderstorm

17
Q

SIGMET (WS)

A
  • Nonconvective
  • Severe icing not associated with a T-storm
  • Turbulence
  • Hail
  • Dust storm
18
Q

AIRMET (WA)

A

Lower intensity than SIGMET.

3 types:

  • Sierra: mountain obscuration
  • Tango: turbulence
  • Zulu: icing
19
Q

4 factors that contribute to torque effect:

A

1) Torque: and the prob turns to the right tends to roll/bank A/C to left.
2) Gyroscopic effect of prop: Gyroscopic precession. If axis of prob is tilted, the resulting force will be exerted 90 degrees ahead in the direction of rotation and in the same direction as the applied force.

3) Corkscrewing effect of slipstream:
Slipstream circles the plane, striking the vertical tale surface on the left side pushing the tail to the right and yawning the plane left.

4) P-Factor:
At high angles of attack, the downward moving prob blade takes a bigger bite of the air, there is greater thrust on the downward blade, causing the plane to yaw left.
