What is private carriage?

• Carriage for hire that does not include holding out (Advertising)

• For a selected amount of custumers

• The amount of costumers can’t suggest that you are willing to fly for everybody

What is holding out?

Advertising Service (Advertising, Agencies, Reputation, etc)

Far 119

What are the services allowable via Part 119.1 (e) Private Carriage

• Flight Instruction

• Nonstop sightseeing

• Farry or training flights

• Banner towing

• Crop dusting

What is the difference between DRY x WET lease?

DRY LEASE: Organization/Owner provides the aircraft but not the crew (Airplane and required crew comes from different source)

WET LEASE: Organization/Owner provides the aircraft and required crew (Airplane and required crew comes from same source)

Private Carriage is only legal if you are usin a dry lease

Ex: IF YOU OWN A AIRCRAFT YOU CAN’T PROVIDE IT YOURSELF AND FLY FOR HIRE UNDER PRIVATE CARRIAGE

You can only have 2 out of 3:

👩🏼‍✈️ 💰 ✈

What’s the difference between POH and AFM?

POH: It can be used for the different aisplanes if they are all the same “Type” ex: PA-28-181

AFM: Especific to a Tail number ex: N232TF

What is the difference between part 121 and part 135?

Part 121 is scheduled flights, the flight is going to happen with or without the passanger

Part 135 is non chedulled flights that follows the passanger agenda, if the costumer in not going anymore, the flight is cancelled

121: Bus

135: Uber

What’s common Carriage?

AC 120 12A (Advisory Circular)

1. Holding out of a willigness to

2. Transport people or cargo

3. From place to place

4. For compensation or hire

Oxygen Requirements for Unpressurized Cabin:

• 12.500 - 14.000: Required crew needs oxygen after 30 minutes

• 14.000 - 15.000: Required crew needs oxygen all times

• Above 15.000: Required crew needs oxygen all times and passangers provided

Oxygen Requirements for Pressurized Cabin:

Above FL250 (25,000 ft):

• At least 10 minutes of supplemental Oxygen

• If one pilot leaves the controls the remaining pilot must use oxygen continuously unless aircraft has quick-donning masks.

At or above FL350 (35,000 ft)

• One pilot must always wear an oxygen mask unless

  • The airplane has two pilots, and

  • The aircraft is equipped with quick-donning masks (take < 5 sec to put on).

Above FL410

• At least one pilot must always use oxygen, even with quick-donning masks.

How does pressurization happens?

Oxygen system, what are the different ways that we can have oxygen in the plane? Part 1

Oxygen system, what are the different ways that we can have oxygen in the plane? Part 2

What is a Mayday?

Emergency that requires an immediate action

Ex: Engine out or Engine Fire

What is a PanPan:

Urgent situation that may need assistance but not immediately

Ex: Radio failure or Alternator Failure

What is the FAR/AIMs for Emergency equipment / survival gear?

• 91.509

• 91.519

• AIM 6-2-6

• AIM 7-6-9

What does affects performance?

• Humidity

• Hight Altitude

• Heavy Weight

• Hot Weather

• Headwind

What’s Indicated Altitude?

The one you read directly from your altimeter

What’s True Altitude?

Vertical distance of your plane from sea level (MSL)

What’s Absolute Altitude?

Distance from your plane above ground (AGL)

What’s Pressure Altitude?

• Altitude indicated when altimeter is set to 29.92

• Height above standard datum plane

• Above FL180 altimeter set to 29.92

What’s Density Altitude?

Pressure altitude corrected for non standard temp

• Where the plane “feels like” it is performing at

PS: Hight temp/humidity and elevation = High Density Altitude

What happens to your plane in High Density Altitude?

• Decreases engine performance

• Longer take off distance

• Reduces climb performance

How to calculate Dansity Altitude?

DA= PA + (Current temp - Standard Temp at field elev) x 120

Ex: DA= 952 + (24-13) X 120

DA= 952 + 1320

DA= 2272 ft

What happens to your landing distance is you have a Headwind?

Slower Ground speed and short ground roll

What happens to your landing distance is you have a Taildwind?

Faster ground speed ans longer ground roll

What’s empty weight?

Airframe, engine, unisable fuel/oil

Where is Center of Gravity measured from?

Starts tip of the spinner

What’s arm in weight and balance?

Horizontal distance in inches from CG
