Written Flashcards
If the engine oil temperature and cylinder head temperature gauges have exceeded their normal operating range, the pilot may have been operating with
too much power and with the mixture set too lean.
High power settings with a lean mixture may lead to overheating. The additional fuel of a richer mixture has a cooling effect.
Stall speed increases w
Turns, turbulence, and extra weight increases stall speed.

When the term ‘light and variable’ is used in reference to a Winds Aloft Forecast, the coded group and windspeed is
9900 and less than 5 knots
Why is it a good idea to visually inspect to make sure that the crankcase breather lines are free of ice?
Ice may have formed as a result of the crankcase vapors freezing after the engine been turned off.
You should always visually inspect to make sure that the crankcase breather lines are free of ice. The ice may h formed as a result of the crankcase vapors freezing in the lines after the engine has been turned off.
Unless each occupant is provided with supplemental oxygen, no person may operate a civil aircraft of U.S. registry above a maximum cabin pressure altitude of
15k ft
Thunderstorms which generally produce the most intense hazard to aircraft are
steady-state thunderstorms.
The steady-state thunderstorm may present severe weather. However, it is intensified when it is associated wi squall line.
Aviation Weather Handbook (Chapter 22)
The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the
speed of the airplane.
At slow speeds, the maximum available lifting force of the wing is decreased. The wing will stall at lo loads and relieve the load.
To meet the recency of experience requirements to act as pilot in command carrying passengers at night, a pilot must have made at least three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop within the preceding 90 days in
Category and class to be used
At what minimum distance should a pilot report a near midair collision to the FAA?
500 ft
On a turn from south:
The compass exaggerates the rate of turn.
When starting a turn from a southerly heading, the compass leads the turn or exaggerates the rate of turn

ADS-B Out equipment is required when flying:
In Class E airspace at and above 3,000’ MSL over the Gulf of Mexico from the U.S. coastline out to 12 NM.
ADS-B Out is required for flights within Class E airspace at and above 3,000 feet MSL over the Gulf of Mexico f the coastline of the United States out to 12 nautical miles.
The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during daylight hours is to use
a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to search each 10-degree sector.
Use a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements that bring successive areas of the sky into the central visual field. Each movement should not exceed 10° and each area should be observed for at least 1 second to enable
detection.
No acrobatics flight less than
3 miles of visibility

When should a pilot contact the tower of a Class C airport when departing from a satellite airport underlying the Class C?
After departure, when practical
