PRIVATE verbal and written Flashcards
Weather associated with a cold front
Convective weather.
Cold air forcing warm air up = lifting action
Temperature inversion
So u have 2 of the 3 criteria for a thunderstorm
Cold front is stable air.
Poor visibility at ground level smooth air
What are the 4 types of hypoxia
Hypoxic- most common. Loss of oxygen in air
Hypemic - blood can’t carry oxygen. Blood loss or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Hystotoxic - blood can’t use oxygen provided. Drugs or alcohol.
Stagnate - blood is not flowing. Excessive G forces
In-op equipment check
MEL - Minimum equipment list
TCDS - Type certificate data sheet
KOEL - Kinds of operation equipment list
CEL- Comprehensive equipment list
ATOMATOFLAMES
How are most aircraft designed to remain stable
They are designed so that the wing center of pressure or lift is AFT of the center of gravity
Engine fire in flight checklist
Mixture. Cutoff
Fuel shutoff. Off
Fuel pump. Off
Master switch. Off
Cabin heat and air. Off
Airspeed. Increase as req to extinguish fire
Execute forced landing
Absence of sky conditions and visibility on an ATIS report indicates
The ceiling is at least 5000’ and the visibility is at least 5 miles or more
Basic med limitations
Can not
Fly more than 6000 lbs
More than 5 total ppl
An aircraft capable of holding more than 6 passengers
Over 18000’
What colors are TOWERED. Airports on the sectional chart
Airports with control towers in class B,C,D, And E airspace are shown in blue
How many satellites needed for different levels of GPS
3- 2D viewing
4-3D viewing
5- RAIM= receiver autonomous integrity monitoring
6- FDE= fault detection and exclusion
What is the range of the ATIS weather report
5 Miles
Explain current
Explain proficient
Current - am I legal
Proficient - am I safe.
What affects the aircrafts aerodynamic balance and controllability?
Moving the CG center of gravity.
Or moving the center of pressure of the wing closer to the CG
Compass ERRORS
Acronym
DVMONA
What is a spin.
An aggravated stall resulting in an auto rotation
What is standard sea level pressure in millibars
1013.2
Emergency Landing NO Engine power check list
After airspeed to best glide. 65 kias and best place to land found
On final approach
Mixture. Cutoff
Fuel shutoff. Off
Magnetos. Off
Flaps 30 rec. as required
Stby batt switch Off
Master switch. Off (when landing assured)
Doors. Unlatch
Brakes. Apply heavily
What are the 4 Cs of a go around.
Cram power
Climb
Clean aircraft
Call to tower
What is P-factor
P-Factor, which is also called “asymmetric propeller loading”, happens when the downward moving propeller blade takes a bigger “bite” of air than the upward moving blade.
What are the G-1000 components
PFD. AUDIO. MFD
PANEL
ADC - air data computer. Pitot static
GIA 1 AHRS - attitude heading GIA2
com1 Nav1 GPS1. reference system. Com2 Nav2 GPS2
Magnetometer
Transponder
EAU - Engine airframe unit
Define pre ignition
Hot spots in the piston cause the fuel mixture to ignite prior to spark plug firing
What are the VFR weather minimums
And the MFVR minimums
VFR- 5sm visibility. 3000’ ceiling
MVFR- 3-5sm visibility 1000’-3000’ ceiling
What are the weather conditions minimums for a special VFR. Clearance
At least 1 mile visibility and remain clear of clouds
What is the min a flight review must consist of?
1 hr flight
1 hr ground
What does DVMONA stand for
D- deviation- magnetic interference. Deviation card
V- variation - difference between true N and magnetic N
M- magnetic dip- as you get closer to poles the compass wants to dip
toward them
O- oscillation- student pilot error. Unstable flight
N- northerly turning errors- when turning north compass will over shoot
North
UNOS- Undershoot North. Overshoot South
A- acceleration errors
ANDS- Accelerate “wants to turn” North
Decelerate “wants to turn” South
How far out do TAF go
5 miles out
Occluded fronts. Describe
2 types.
Cold occluded C w c sandwich of air temps
Warm occluded. c w C sandwich
Possibility of both being convective bc of the cold air over taking the warm air and forcing warm air up
Define detonation
Is when the fuel in the piston explodes all at once instead of a slow burn. Usually after burn gases
What is the standard ISO lapse rate
2° Celsius for every 1000’
When does night start
For flights. It’s after civil evening twilight and before civil morning twilight
But for take offs and landings it must be between 1hr after sunset and hr before sunrise
Oxygen requirements
12500’ msl- if more than 30 min needed for required crew
14000’ msl- required crew must use at all times
15000’ msl- required crew and passengers must be offered
Describe the fuel system
SR ASSPAD Selector Reservoir Auxiliary fuel pump Shut off knob Strainer Pump “engine driven” Air control unit Distribution
