Ppl Written II Flashcards
When flying in the airspace underlying class B airspace, the maximum speed authorized is
200 knots
Basic radar service in the terminal radar program is best described as
Safety alerts, traffic advisories, and limited vectoring to VFR aircraft
How should the flight controls be held while taxing a tailwheel airplane with the left quartering tail wind
Left aileron down, elevator down
What is the purpose of the taxiway directional sign?
Indicates designation and direction of taxiway leading out of an intersection
Every physical process of weather is accompanied by or is the result of a
Heat exchange
The amount of solar energy received by any region of the Earth varies. These differences create temperature variations, which creates forces that drive the atmosphere in its endless motions unequal heating of the earths surface causes weather phenomena.
If an unstable air mass is forced upward, what type of clouds can be expected?
Clouds with considerable vertical development and associated turbulence
When unstable air is forced upward, the disturbance grows, and any resulting cloudiness shows extensive vertical development. The usual convection in unstable air gives a bumpy turbulence ride.
The aeronautical information manual a I M specifically encourages pilots to turn on their landing lights when operating below 10,000 feet day or night and especially when operating
In conditions of reduce visibility
Pilots are encouraged to turn on their landing lights when operating below 10,000 feet day or night, especially when operating within 10 miles of of any airport in conditions of reduce visibility and in areas where a flocks of birds may be expected
The radius of the procedural outer area of class C airspace is normally
20 nautical mile
The outer area associated with class C airspace is not charted. The normal radius will be 20 nautical miles with some variations based on site specific requirements.
Upon entering severe turbulence, which flight condition should the pilot attempt to maintain
Level flight attitude
Maintain a constant attitude, let the aircraft ride the waves
Large accumulation of carbon monoxide in the human body result in
Loss of muscle power
Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause headaches, blurred vision, dizziness, drowsiness, and or loss of muscle power. Well, most of the symptoms may result from small amounts of carbon monoxide. It takes large accumulation for a person to lose muscle power anytime a pilot smells exhaust order or experiences the symptoms immediate corrective action should be taken, including turning off the heater, opening fresh air vents and windows and using supplemental oxygen if available
What is true altitude
The vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level
True altitude is the vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level. It is the actual altitude of the aircraft.
What is absolute altitude?
The vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface.
How long is a certificate of aircraft registration valid for?
Seven years after the last day of the month, it was issued
