Stage 68 Flashcards
How does an Aft CG affect a/c stability and performance?
- Decreased stability about the longitudinal axis
- Increased cruise speed and climb rate
- Lower stall speed and Va
- Harder to recover from stall/spin
Why does Va change with weight?
- As weight increases, you must fly the a/c at a higher AOA to maintain straight and level flight (therefore closer the CAOA)
- The heavier the a/c is, the less susceptible it is to experiencing excess Gs from unaccepted gusts, therefore heavier a/c can fly at a faster speed and not worry about being subject to structural damage
How would you leave an uncontrolled airport that is in Class E airspace, and is below VFR weather minimums?
Special VFR!
- NEED: ATC clearance, 1sm, remain clear of clouds
- AT NIGHT: Instrument rated and IFR equipped
When flying in a non-pressurizes a/c, when must the pilot use O2?
- Cabin pressures between 12,500’-14,000’ MSL exceeding 30 minutes
- Any time about above 14,000’ MSL
At what flight level must your passengers be provided O2?
- At cabin pressures above 15,000’ MSL
What are the 3 types of O2 Delivery Systems?
- Continuous Flow
- Diluter Demand
- Pressure-Demand
What are the 2 types of Pressurization Systems?
- Sealed Cabins - Carry own O2 that is contiuously purified and recycled (limited supply)
- Pressurized Cabins - Forces ambient air into cabins
- Isobaric Control: Constant pressure
- Isobaric Differential: Pressure varies with altitude
What are the 3 types of “Aviators Breathing Oxygen”
- Gaseous
- Liquid
- Solid (Sodium candles)
What are the differences between commercial and private pilot privileges?
- A commercial pilot can fly for compensation or hire for an air carrier
(135, 121) if appropriate requirements are met - Can be a corporate pilot operating under pt. 91
- 119.1 (e) 1-10
Why are these so many more rules for flying an a/c as opposed to driving a car?
The FAA wants to ensure that people who desire to pay for air transport are AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE
When does medical emergency constitute pilot deviation from the FARs?
IN FLIGHT ONLY!!
not on the ground
Does flight instruction always need to end where it began?
No, if the flight experience is legit then its fine! However flight instruction CANNOT be a pretext for providing air transportation!
What precautions should be taken when operating a corporate a/c under Part 91
- Only operate at the OWNER’S purpose and expense
Do you have to have aeronautical experience/knowledge to have operational control of the a/c?
- No
- Operational control, with respect to a flight, means the exercise of authority over initiating, conducting, or terminating a flight
How do fractional ownership programs avoid violation?
- Sub-Part K
- When a fractional owner is using the a/c for their own purposes, they assume operational control
Explain Goodwill
- When you do not charge people for a service that you’ve provided and claim it is Part 91
- This is illegal because you are assuming that this act will result in future business with the individual
What regulations govern scheduled air carriers (airlines)?
Part 121
What regulations govern unscheduled, air taxi and charter operations?
Part 135
What kinds of services can you LEGALLY be compensated for as a Commercial Pilot?
- 1 (e) 1-10
- Student Instruction
- Ferry/training flights
- Nonstop Air Tours within 25sm
- Nonstop parachute operations within 25sm
- Aerial work (crop dusting, banner towing, fire fighting)
- Emergency mail service
- Candidates for election (91.321)
What are the limitations of a Commercial Pilot?
- Cannot fly passengers 50nm+ OR at night without an instrument rating
Can you be compensated for student instruction as a commercial pilot?
Yes!
What is meant by “Wet-Lease”? Is this legal?
- If you rent and a/c AND hire pilots from the same business
- When 1 business has Operational Control over all phases of flight but is not under Part 135/121
- NO, this is NOT LEGAL!
What kind of inspection program does UND have?
- Progressive Inspection
- Allows for more frequent but shorter inspection phases
- As long as all phases are completed within 12 cal month, Annual and 100-hour are satisfied
How does weight affect stall speed?
As weight increases, stall speed increases!
