Porpoise
A landing where you are bouncing on the runway. If this happens execute a go around
Oxygen requirements
At cabin pressure altitudes above 12,500 feet (MSL) up to and including 14,000 feet (MSL) unless the required minimum flight crew is provided with and uses supplemental oxygen for that part of the flight at those altitudes that is of more than 30 minutes duration;
Transponder
A transponder is a simple means for an aircraft to communicate its position with air traffic control. ADS-B Out and transponders with altitude reporting mode turned ON (Mode C or S) substantially increase the capability of surveillance systems to see an aircraft
Oxygen Requirements Part II
At cabin pressure altitudes above 14,000 feet (MSL) unless the required minimum flight crew is provided with and uses supplemental oxygen during the entire flight time at those altitudes;
At cabin pressure altitudes above 15,000 feet (MSL) unless each occupant of the aircraft is provided with supplemental oxygen.
Aerobatic flight
No person may operate an aircraft in aerobatic flight—
(a) Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement;
(b) Over an open air assembly of persons;
(c) Within the lateral boundaries of the surface areas of Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E airspace designated for an airport;
(d) Within 4 nautical miles of the center line of any Federal airway;
(e) Below an altitude of 1,500 feet above the surface; or
(f) When flight visibility is less than 3 statute miles.
Annual
most thorough inspection. The plane could be down for a while. Done 12 calendar months due a year the day the end of the month. Must be performed by A&P w Inspector authorization. Found in engine, airframe, and propeller. VFR and IFR
VOR
Every 30 days, date, degree of bearing error, place you did it, and signature of pilots. Only required for IFR operations. Private Pilots or greater can do a VOR check. In Class B airspace it is required for VFR. Find in orange box
100 Hour
Maintenance time. starts when the wheels leave the ground. Only have to be done for operations for hire. Can exceed this to up to 10 hours flying to a place where an inspection can be done. The time exceeded will count towards the next 100 hour. Has to be done by A&P mechanic. Paired with annual
GPS
Required after every 56 days or 28 days if used for nav purposes. Can be done by anybody. Can’t be found in any sections of the binder
