So you’ve only flown 172s. Could you take your friend up in his Piper Cherokee?
Yes, but you should fly with an instructor first to build proficiency.
Can you be compensated for flying? What is pro-rata share?
May perform flight in furtherance of a business or carrying passengers provided no compensation is provided beyond the pro rata share.
May act as PIC for charitable, non-profit or community event.
May be reimbursed for operating expenses directly related to search and rescue operations.
As aircraft salesman with at least 200 hours of logged flight time may demonstrate plane to customer.
Pro Rata = equal shares
Currency
Flight Review
May not act as PIC unless flight review conducted in the last 24 calendar months.
Must have logbook endorsement after completion.
90 Day Currency
May not act as PIC with passengers unless within last 90 days you have conducted 3 T/O and landings in same category, class, and type (if necessary).
If at night or in tailwheel A/C then the must be done to a full stop.
PIC Responsibilities
The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the operation of that aircraft.
In an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action, the pilot in command may deviate from any rule of this part to the extent required to meet that emergency.
Each pilot in command who deviates from a rule shall, upon the request of the Administrator, send a written report of that deviation to the Administrator.

- Comprehensive equipment list
- KOEL
- TCDS (online FAA.gov)
- A/Ds

- Company policy & PIC decision. (All inop equipment must be deactivated and placarded inoperative.)
CE-172 Engine LHAND
Lycoming
Horizontally opposed
Air Cooled
Naturally aspirated
Direct Drive IO 360
Special Use Airspace MCPRAWN
MOA (no clearance required but be cautious)
Controlled Firing area (not on map. Has spotter to stop operations when aircraft seen.)
Prohibited (Can’t fly through)
Restricted(If active cannot fly through)
Alert (high density student training or unusual activity.)
Warning (similar to restricted but no clearance needed. Also offshore.)
National security (Increase in security is necessary near certain ground)
The definition of airworthiness directive and what different types are.
Airworthiness Directives (ADs) are legally enforceable rules to correct an unsafe condition in a product.
Three types:
1. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), followed by a Final Rule.
- Final Rule; Request for Comments
- Emergency ADs
How do we verify the flight can be safely accomplished?
METAR, TAF, SIGMETS, AIRMETS, WEATHER BRIEF
Types of Airspeed
Indicated Airspeed (IAS)
- Read off of ASI
True Airspeed (TAS)
- True airspeed is the speed of your aircraft
relative to the air it’s flying through.
- For every thousand feet above sea level,
true airspeed is about 2% higher than
indicated airspeed.
Groundspeed (GS)
- The movement of your airplane relative to
the ground.
- True airspeed corrected for wind
- With a true airspeed of 100 knots and a
tailwind of 20 knots, you’d be flying a
groundspeed of 120 knots.
Calibrated Airspeed (CAS)
- Calibrated airspeed is indicated airspeed
corrected for instrument and positional
errors.
Types of headings.
True Course (TC): This is the course measured from your navigation plotter when you plot your flight on your map.
True Heading (TH): Now that you have a true course, we need to correct for winds which will give us a true heading.
Magnetic Heading (MH): The difference between true north and magnetic north is known as variation.
Compass Heading (CH): Items from inside the airplane can actually affect the performance of the compass.
NOTAMs
A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), Also known as Notice to Air Mission (FAA definition), is a notice containing information concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight operations.
Hazards such as air-shows, parachute jumps and glider or micro-light flying;
Flights by important people such as heads of state;
Closed runways, taxiways, etc;
Unserviceable radio navigational aids;
Military exercises with resulting airspace restrictions;
Unserviceable lights on tall obstructions;
Temporary erection of obstacles near airfields (e.g. cranes).

4 types of Hypoxia
Hypoxic Hypoxia - Hypoxic hypoxia occurs when there is not enough oxygen in the air or when decreasing atmospheric pressure prevents diffusion of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream
Hypemic Hypoxia - caused by a reduction in blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity. Anemia and blood loss are the most common causes of this type of hypoxia.
Stagnant Hypoxia - blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity is adequate but circulation is inadequate. Can be caused by high G loads
Histoxic Hypoxia - Histotoxic hypoxia results from an interference with the use of oxygen by body tissues. Alcohol, narcotics, and certain poisons such as cyanide interfere with a cell’s ability to use an adequate supply of oxygen.
Oxygen requirements
Above 12,000’ - Required by the required crew if over 30 minutes at this altitude
Above 14,000’ - Required to be provided and used by the required flight crew
Above 15,000’ - Must be provided for every occupant
