Altitude indicated on the dial when set to local pressure
39
True Airspeed (TAS)
Actual speed through the air. CAS corrected for nonstandard temperature and pressure
40
METAR
Meteorological Terminal Aviation Routine Weather Report i. hourly reports ii. Reports include: station identifier, date/time, wind (direction and speed), visibility, sky condition, temp./dew point, and altimeter setting iii. May also include type of precipitation, time precipitation began, peak wind, or sea level pressure
41
Parasitic drag
Drag that is caused by an aircraft surface which deflects/interferes with the smooth airflow of the airplane (skin friction, form, and interference drag). Parasitic drag increases with airspeed
42
Dead reckoning
Navigation solely by computations based on time, airspeed, distance, and direction
43

Stagnant Hypoxia
Blood flow is restricted and oxygen rich blood isn’t moving to tissues that need it e.g. blood pooling when sitting too long
46
Special flight permit
Can be issued if an aircraft is not airworthy due to inoperative equipment so the aircraft may be flown to a maintenance base or to get the plane out of a hazardous position Contact the local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) to receive one, may only be issued by a Designated Airworthiness Representative (DAR) and only if plane is capable of safe flight.
47
minimum equipment list
List of equipment that can be inoperative and the aircraft still be airworthy Check aircraft TCDS (Type certificate data sheet)

51
LIFR ceiling and visability
-500 (MSL), -1SM
52
Special VFR
Used in special cases when a pilot needs to takeoff or land and weather is below VFR minimums. Minimums for SVFR are 1SM and clear of clouds. Must be IFR rated to request special VFR between sunset and sunrise
53
Special Use Airspace
``` M- MOA (military operations area) C- CFA (controlled firing area) P- prohibited R- restricted A- alert W- warning N- NSA (national security area) ```
54
MOA
Military operations area: defined vertical and lateral limits established for the purpose of separating certain military training operations from IFR traffic. Pilots flying under VFR should exercise extreme caution when flying through color on sectional: red fly through: yes
55
CFA
Controlled firing area: contain activities which could be hazardous to non participation aircrafts color on sectional: not depicted fly through: yes
56
Prohibited Airspace
Areas contain airspace of defined dimensions within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited; established for security or reasons of National well being color on sectional: blue Fly through: NO
57
Restricted airspace
Airspace identified by an area which the flight of aircraft isn’t completely prohibited, but still subject to restrictions. Need clearance from controlling facility to fly in/through if active color on sectional: blue fly through: yes, with clearance
58
Alert airspace
Depicted on aeronautical chart to inform nonparticipating pilots of areas that may contain a high volume of pilot training or any unusual type of aerial activity; pilots should be particularly alert in these areas color on sectional: red Fly through: yes
59
Warning airspace
Airspace extending 3 NM outward from the coast of the US that contains activity hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft, purpose of airspace is to warn pilots of potential danger Color on sectional: blue Fly through: yes
60
NSA airspace
National security area: defined airspace where there is a requirement for increased security and safety for ground facilities Color on sectional: red Fly through: yes
61
Stall
A rapid decrease in lift caused by the separation of airflow from the wings surface, brought on by exceeding the angle of attack. The indicated airspeed at which the stall occurs will be determined by weight and load factor, but the stall always occurs at the same angle of attack.
