Q

PIC Responsibilities

A

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.

Q

Special Use Airspace MCPRAWN

A

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)

17
Q

The definition of airworthiness directive and what different types are.

A

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.

  1. Final Rule; Request for Comments
  2. Emergency ADs
18
Q

How do we verify the flight can be safely accomplished?

A

METAR, TAF, SIGMETS, AIRMETS, WEATHER BRIEF

19
Q

Types of Airspeed

A

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.

20
Q

Types of headings.

A

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.

21
Q

NOTAMs

A

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).

23
Q

FLAPS

A

Fuses (spares) or circuit breakers
Landing light (if for hire)
Anticollision lights
Position lights
Source of electricity

24
Q

4 types of Hypoxia

A

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.

25
Q

Oxygen requirements

A

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
