Part 43 Appendix A (c)

34
Q

Special Flight Permit

A

● For an aircraft that may not currently meet applicable airworthiness requirements, but is capable of safe flight
● Only for the purpose of flying the aircraft to a point of repairs

35
Q

Stall

A

When airplane exceeds critical angle of attack
■ Can occur at any airspeed or attitude

36
Q

Spin

A

An aggravated stall where one wing is more stalled than the other
Caused by exceeding critical angle of attack and uncoordinated flight

37
Q

Weather Information
METAR

A

Meteorological Aerodrome Report
Current/observed weather updated every 50 minutes past the hour

38
Q

Weather Information
TAF

A

Terminal Aerodrome Forecast
Forecast valid 24 hours, updated every 6 hours

39
Q

Weather Information
Determining Crosswind/Limitations

A

Clock Method
■ Take the difference between wind direction and runway heading
■ Change degrees to “minutes”
■ Determine how far those “minutes” go around the clock
■ Convert to % of one hour
■ Take that % and multiply by the total wind component, you now have your
crosswind component!
● Example: Runway 15, wind 180 @ 16 knots ● 30 degrees off runway heading = 30 minutes ● 30 minutes = halfway around the clock (50%) ● 50% of 16k knots is 8 knots crosswind!

40
Q

Runway Incursion

A

An incident where an unauthorized aircraft, vehicle, or person is on a runway or runway protected area

41
Q

Runway Incursion Avoidance
Prevention

A

○ Have the taxi diagram out and available
■ Brief instructions, hotspots along route
○ Read back instructions in full
○ Write down instructions
○ Practice sterile cockpit
○ Familiarize yourself with the airport layout, markings, and signs
○ When in runup area, tune into tower frequency to gain situational awareness of the runway activities

42
Q

Lost Communication Procedures

A

Troubleshoot!
■ Check radio on ■ Check volume and squelch ■ Check headset plug connection ■ Check frequency ■ Request radio check ■ Go back to the previous frequency if applicable
b. In controlled airspace, squawk 7600
■ Landing at a towered airport
● Stay above the traffic pattern altitude and circle while observing the traffic
flow and looking out for other traffic ● Wait for the ATC light gun signals ●Rock your wings (day) or flash landing light (night) in acknowledgement ● Follow the instructions and land when cleared
c. If uncontrolled, land as soon as practicable

43
Q

ATC light gun
Green

A

Ground: cleared for takeoff
Air: cleared to land

44
Q

ATC light gun

A

Return to starting point on airport

48
Q

Alternating green and red

A

Exercise extreme caution

49
Q

Wake turbulence

A

Wake turbulence (wingtip vortices) slowly descend behind the aircraft
Up out and around

50
Q

Wake Turbulence Avoidance

A

On takeoff, rotate prior to where the aircraft ahead rotated
On landing, stay above the flight path of the aircraft ahead and land beyond where the aircraft has touched down

51
Q

Wind Shear

A

● Sudden change in wind speed and/or direction
● Low level wind shear
● Increase the takeoff/approach speed to account for wind shear
