RJ Mock Checkride I Flashcards
What is ADM?
A systematic approach to the mental process used by aircraft pilot to consistently determine the best course of action in response to a given set of circumstances
When does ADM begin?
The moment I decide to make a trip
What are some acronyms that I can use in the ADM Process
DECIDE
Detect: the fact that change has occurred
Estimate: estimate the need to counter or react to the change
Choose: Choose a desirable outcome Identify:
Identify actions which could successfully control the change
Do: take necessary action
Evaluate: evaluate the effects of the action
IMSAFE Illness Medication Stress Alcohol Fatigue Eating
PAVE Pilot Airplane EnVironment External Pressures
What is PAVE in terms of ADM
Pilot - IMSAFE, Competency
Airplane - Performance, Equipment (INOP), airworthiness
EnVironment - Weather, ATC, NAVAIDS, Terrain, TOL distances, Obstacles
External Pressure - Why is the flight being made? How critical is it to maintain schedule
What does SRM Stand for and how does it work?
Single-pilot resource management (SRM) is the art of managing all onboard and outside resources to ensure a safe and successful flight.
Who is responsible for collision avoidance
The PIC
When are stalls/spins most likely to happen?
Happens anytime Maneuvering, takeoff, go around, turns, turn from base to final
What does ATC do for me when I pick up flight following?
I’m responsible for collision avoidance and traffic separation They provide traffic calls they do not separate or sequence me unless I am in Class B airspace
Now that you have your Private Certificate, what can or can I not do?

What if my friend asked me to bring back her plane from San Diego and I just happen to be in San Diego and have free time to do it?
I cannot fly the plane back because even though we are not exchanging money, I am gaining something by logging time and bringing the plane back.
What kind of airplane can I fly?
61.31 Airplane Single Engine Land (not an Aircraft) that does not require an endorsement such as tail wheel, complex, high performance, pressurized aircraft or does not require a type rating such as Large aircraft, Turbo Jet, other aircraft specified by the administrator.
What is the definition of a complex airplane, and what must you do to act as pilot-of-command of such an airplane?
(14 CFR 61.1, 14 CFR 61.31) A “complex airplane” has a retractable landing gear, flaps, and a controllable pitch propeller; including airplanes equipped with a full-authority digital engine control (FADEC). The plane MUST have all three retractable landing gear, flaps, and controllable fixed propeller to be “Complex”
To act as pilot-in-command of such an airplane, you must have:
a. Received and logged ground and flight training from an authorized instructor in a complex airplane, or in a flight simulator or flight training device that is representative of a complex airplane
b. Received a one-time endorsement in your logbook from an authorized instructor who certifies you are proficient to operate a complex airplane.
What is the definition of a high-performance airplane, and what must you do to act as pilot-in-command of such an airplane?
(14 CFR 61.31) A high-performance is an airplane with an engine of more than 200 horsepower. To act as PIC of a high-performance you must have: a. Received and logged ground and flight training from an authorized instructor in a high-performance airplane, or in a flight simulator or flight training device that is representative of a high-performance airplane, and have been found proficient in the operation and systems of that airplane. b. Received and logged a one-time endorsement in your logbook from an authorized instructor who certifies you are proficient to operate a high-performance airplane.
What is the definition of a tail wheel airplane and what must you do to act as pilot-in-command of such an airplane?
(14 CFR 61.31) A high-performance is an airplane with a wheel in the tail and no nose wheel. To act as PIC of a tail wheel airplane, you must have: a. Received and logged ground and flight training from an authorized instructor in a tailwheel airplane, or in a flight simulator or flight training device that is representative of a high-performance airplane, and have been found proficient in the operation and systems of that airplane. b. Received and logged a one-time endorsement in your logbook from an authorized instructor who certifies you are proficient to operate a tail wheel airplane.
What is the definition of a pressurized airplane and what must you do to act as pilot-in-command of such an airplane?
(14 CFR 61.31) A pressurized airplane is an airplane that has a service ceiling or maximum operating altitude whichever is lower of 25,000 feet MSL.
To act as PIC of a pressurized airplane, you must have:
a. Received and logged ground and flight training from an authorized instructor in a pressurized airplane, or in a flight simulator or flight training device that is representative of a high-performance airplane, and have been found proficient in the operation and systems of that airplane.
b. Received and logged a one-time endorsement in your logbook from an authorized instructor who certifies you are proficient to operate a pressurized airplane
How long are endorsements for?
A lifetime they do not expire
What’s the definition of a large aircraft and what is required?
(14 CFR 61.31) Large aircraft means aircraft of more than 12,500 lbs maximum certificated takeoff weight and it requires a type rating via a check ride
The king air 350 is a turboprop and its rated at 12,500 lbs and it requires a typerating to fly. If i get a typerating in a king air 350, i can only fly the king air, I cant fly a 737
What is a turbojet aircraft and what is required for me to fly this?
(14 CFR 61.31) A
turbojet engine is a jet engine which produces all of its thrust by ejecting a high energy gas stream from the engine exhaust nozzle.

What are the three meanings the FAA uses for night?
1 hour after sunset and ending 1 hour before sunrise is the regency of experience definition of night The beginning and end of civil twilight is for the purpose of logging NIGHT time From sunset to sunrise is for the use of position lights
What’s a fligh review? How many hours are required? How often are flight reviews? What other things can i do instead of a Flight review? Where can i find out what i have to study for the flight review?and who can I take a flight review with?
Flight reviews are required for recency under 61.56 1 hour flight TRAINING 1 hour ground training
I have to take this at least every 24 calendar months (airlines do it every 12 mos)
I can enroll in an FAA program instead or take a check ride instead of a review I can read the advisory circular or the ACS to know what to study I can take the review with an instructor, examiner, with the FAA, with a military instructor, check airman
To fly with passengers what are the three general things i must do?
1) Flight Review 61.56
