Test Review 2 Flashcards
How to calculate density altitude?
Density altitude = pressure altitude + [120 x (OAT - ISA Temp)]
What is OAT?
OAT is degrees Celsius read off our thermometer (outside air temperature)
What is ISA?
ISA Temp is always 15 °C at sea level–International Standard Atmosphere

Hands on
What are the symbols of VOR, VORTAC, and VOR-DME?
What is VOR?
VOR indicates the magnetic bearing from the station to the aircraft (the Radial).
The original instrument, the Omni-Bearing Selector (OBS) indicates the aircraft’s position relative to the radial the pilot has selected, and requires careful interpretation.
What is ADF?
ADF (Automatic Direction Finding) indicates relative bearing to a radio beacon, called an NDB (Non-directional Beacon).
The original Relative Bearing Indicator (RBI) only shows that relative bearing, and can still be found.
What is DME?
DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) indicates the distance in nautical miles from the beacon to the aircraft. The display is usually digital.
For private pilot operations under BasicMed, the pilot-in-command is allowed to fly with no more than
As PIC during private pilot operations under BasicMed, the aircraft is restricted to fly with no more than 5 passengers and authorized to carry no more than 6 total occupants.
If receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) capability is lost in flight,
The GPS receiver verifies the integrity (usability) of the signals received from the GPS constellation through receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) to determine if a satellite is providing corrupted information. At least one satellite, in addition to those required for navigation, must be in view for the receiver to perform the RAIM function; thus, RAIM needs a minimum of 5 satellites in view, or 4 satellites and a barometric altimeter (baro-aiding) to detect an integrity anomaly. For receivers capable of doing so, RAIM needs 6 satellites in view (or 5 satellites with baro-aiding) to isolate the corrupt satellite signal and remove it from the navigation solution. GPS derived altitude should not be relied upon to determine aircraft altitude since the vertical error can be quite large and no integrity is provided.
Who Do You Call for Speical VFR?
Flight Service is a great place to start. While Flight Service can’t give you an SVFR clearance, they can coordinate with the Air Traffic Control facility that is in charge of the airspace where you’re headed.
When you call Flight Service, you’ll ask them for a Special VFR clearance into Fort Collins. Then, they’ll call up ATC, get the clearance, and relay it back to you.
For internal cooling, reciprocating aircraft engines are especially dependent on
Oil, used primarily to lubricate the moving parts of the engine, also cools the internal parts of the engine as it circulates. although air-cooling is important, internal cooling is more reliant on oil circulation. Air cools the cylinders, not the exhaust manifold.
What action, if any, is appropriate if the pilot deviates from an ATC instruction during an emergency and is given priority?
Each pilot-in-command who (though not deviating from a rule of 14 CFR Part 91) is given priority by ATC in an emergency shall, if requested by ATC, submit a detailed report of that emergency within 48 hours to the chief of that ATC facility.
Which operation would be described as preventive maintenance?
Preventative maintenance items which can be performed by the pilot are listed in Part 43 and include such basic items as oil changes, wheel bearing lubrication, and hydraulic fluid (brakes, landing gear system) refills.
What hazards to aircraft may exist in restricted areas such as R-5302B?
Restricted Areas denote the presence of unusual, often invisible, hazards to aircraft such as artillery firing, aerial gunnery, or guided missiles. Penetration of Restricted Areas without authorization of the using or controlling agency may be extremely hazardous to the aircraft and its occupants.
