Q

As altitude increases, what happens to true airspeed?

A

As altitude increases, TAS also increases
TAS is the speed your plane is actually passing through the air
TAS increased about 2% every 1,000’ of increase in altitude, but the actual change depends on temperature and pressure
As air gets thinner, true airspeed increases significantly
Faster your TAS, faster you get to your destination

A

Tail down force

29
Q

A

Visual descent point

Defined point on the final approach course of a non precision straight in approach from which normal descent from MDA to runway touchdown point may begin

31
Q

How far out is local altimeter useable?

A

100nm

32
Q

Where is the touchdown zone?

A

First 3,000’ starting at threshold

Touchdown markings begin 500’ before the aiming point and extend at 500’ intervals

33
Q

What is induced drag?

A

It’s a byproduct of lift

Induced drag is inherent whenever an airfoil is producing lift. Always present if lift is produced

34
Q

At what altitude is the crew required to wear oxygen mask?

A

Unpressurized
12,500 and above for flights longer than 30 minutes required minimum flight crew must use
14,000 and above required minimum flight crew must be provided and use the entire time
15,000 and above each occupant must be provided

Pressurized
Above FL250 an addition of at least 10 minutes of supplemental oxygen for each occupant
Above FL350 one pilot at controls must wear and use an oxygen mask unless two pilots are at the control with quick donning masks and aircraft is at or below FL410
If one pilot leaves controls about FL350 the other pilot must wear and use his oxygen mask regardless

35
Q

What is max airspeed for Class D?

A

200kts

36
Q

Color of the threshold lights?

A

Green on landing, red on departure end

37
Q

When are shoulder straps required to be worn?

A

Takeoff landing and taxi

38
Q

What color are runway end lights?

A

Red

39
Q

What do red center line lights mean?

A

Last 1,000’ of runway

40
Q

What are some reasons you’d have to do a go around?

A

Not having runway in sight
Airplane/animal on runway
Unstable approach
ATC direction

41
Q

What impact does using anti ice/de ice have on performance?

A

Decreases performance due to increased amount of bleed air coming from the engine

42
Q

What does 1800 RVR mean?

A

1800ft or 3/4 of a mile

43
Q

What would you do if the captain was going to land the plane when you were going in below minimums?

A

Say on radio you are going missed so he legally has to

44
Q

Where is the end of the touchdown zone on a runway?

A

After the first third of runway or 3,000’ whichever is less

45
Q

Should you be concerned if you have 5000’ runway on a 5,000’ elevation airport?

A

Yes performance is decreased

46
Q

What can you expect from your airplane at a high elevation airport?

A

Longer takeoff roll, less engine performance

47
Q

What is Clear Air Turbulence and where do you find it?

A

CAT are associated with jet streams. It’s created by the friction between currents of wind, you may find it above 15,000’

You can find the reports on prog charts and upper analysis charts

48
Q

At what point should you be fully configured on an instrument approach?

A

FAR or per company SOP

49
Q

You receive indication of icing - what do you do?

A

Cycle the de-icing boots several times to remove residual ice after normal boot operation

50
Q

If a headwind transitions to a tailwind, what would happen?

A

Wind shear possible. Go around to avoid stall

Longer landing roll

Higher ground speed

51
Q

What is parasite drag?

A

Simply caused by the aircrafts shape, construction, and material

An airplane with a rough surface creates more parasite drag than an aircraft with a smooth surface

52
Q

When to expect icing with ambient temps below 0, 5, 10?

A

Below 5 degrees

Visible moisture or in the clouds

53
Q

What takes priority ATC clearance or TCAS advisory?

A

TCAS

54
Q

Always follow TCAS over ATC

A

Always follow TCAS over ATC

55
Q

What is a blast pad?

A

You may not taxi, takeoff, or land on blast pad unless it’s an emergency

Marked with yellow chevrons

56
Q

When is a beacon needed?

A

All operations

57
Q

What is a Dutch Roll?

A

A combination of rolling and yawing oscillations that normally occur when dihedral effects of an aircraft are more powerful than directional stability

58
Q

A note on approach plate says VGSI and GP not coincident. What does that mean?

A

Vertical glide slope indicator is not coincident with glide path

There is a difference of .2 degrees in VGSI angle and/or difference of greater than 3 feet in TCH

59
Q

What does RVSM mean?

A

Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum

1,000 separation from FL290 to FL410

Allows aircraft to safely fly mo optimum profiles, gain fuel savings and increase airspace capacity

60
Q

When can we go below minimums?

A

Aircraft is in a continuous position from which a descent to landing can be made at a normal rate of descent using normal maneuvers

Flight visibility is not less than the visibility prescribed for the approach

One of the following visual references are visible and identifiable

Approach light system, may not descend below 100’ above tdze unless the red termination bars or red side row bars are visible

Threshold, threshold markings, threshold lights
Runway, runway markings, runway lights
Touchdown zone, touchdown zone markings, touchdown zone lights
Visual glide slope indicator
REILS

61
Q

What is PRM?

A

A radar system that can be used to allow simultaneous approaches on parallel runways that are spaced less than 4,300’ from each other

62
Q

Can you cross a runway without clearance from ground?

A

No

Yes if tower is closed

63
Q

What does zero fuel weight mean and why is it significant?

A

Minimum weight of the aircraft (payload included) with zero fuel. It is a structural limitation

Used to determine how much fuel you can bring and gauge if you need to unload other weight

64
Q

What is payload?

A

Weight of occupants, cargo, and baggage

65
Q

Define CRM

A

Crew Resource Management - the effective use of all available resources for flight crew personnel to assure a safe and efficient operation. Reducing error, avoiding stress, and increasing efficiency

66
Q

A

Crossing the fix - report position, time and altitude

67
Q

Do you need to report entering a hold in a radar environment?

A

Yes - position, altitude, time

68
Q

What is the difference between light chop and light turbulence?

A

Turbulence that momentarily causes slight erratic changes in altitude and/or attitude report as light turbulence

Turbulence that causes slight, rapid and somewhat rhythmic bumpiness without appreciable changes in altitude and attitude report as light chop

Q

In one word describe why you teach Chandelles and lazy 8’s
