30 Terms

1
What documents are required for a student pilot to fly solo?
Student Pilot Certificate, Government-Issued Photo ID, Current Medical Certificate, Logbook with Solo Endorsement from CFI.
New cards
2
What is the role of the Pilot in Command (PIC) during an in-flight emergency according to 14 CFR Part 91.3?
The PIC is responsible for safely operating the aircraft and may deviate from any rule to address the emergency.
New cards
3
What privileges does a student pilot have?
May act as PIC during solo flights authorized by an instructor, operate under VFR in daylight only unless a night flight endorsement is obtained.
New cards
4
What limitations does a student pilot face?
Cannot carry passengers, cannot fly for compensation or hire, cannot fly in Class B airspace without proper endorsement.
New cards
5
What are the required documents for an aircraft?
Airworthiness Certificate, Registration Certificate, Operator’s Manual, Weight and Balance data, Maintenance Logs.
New cards
6
What does the AAV1ATE acronym stand for regarding required aircraft inspections?
A - Annual Inspection, A - Airworthiness Directives, V - VOR Check, 1 - 100-Hour Inspection, A - Altimeter Inspection, T - Transponder Inspection, E - ELT Inspection.
New cards
7
What is the impact of a forward CG on flight characteristics?
More stable, higher stall speed, lower cruise speed.
New cards
8
What does the PAVE checklist evaluate?
Pilot fitness, Aircraft airworthiness, Environment considerations, External pressures.
New cards
9
What is the significance of density altitude?
High density altitude reduces engine performance, lift, and climb rate.
New cards
10
What is the purpose of the IMSAFE checklist?
To evaluate a pilot's fitness to fly regarding Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, Emotion.
New cards
11
What does the term stall refer to in aviation?
A stall occurs when the wing exceeds its critical angle of attack, leading to a rapid loss of lift.
New cards
12
What steps should be taken for spin recovery using the PARE method?

Power: Throttle to idle

Ailerons: Neutralize ailerons

Rudder: Apply full opposite rudder

Elevator: Push forward to break the stall.

New cards
13
What does a steady green light signal from ATC indicate?
Cleared to take off or land.
New cards
14
What are the seasonal considerations pilots must be aware of regarding frost?
Frost disrupts airflow over wings, reducing lift, and must be removed before flight.
New cards
15
What equipment is required for night VFR flying as per the FLAPS acronym?
Fuses, Landing Light, Anti-Collision Lights, Position Lights, Source of Power.
New cards
16
What is significant about Class B airspace?
Requires ATC clearance, has a two-way radio communication requirement, and a Mode C transponder is required within 30 nautical miles.
New cards
17
What does the acronym MEL stand for in aviation?
Minimum Equipment List.
New cards
18
What is the maximum structural cruising speed (VNO) for the aircraft mentioned?
129 knots.
New cards
19
What is the purpose of a Student Pilot Certificate?
It authorizes a student pilot to exercise pilot privileges under specified limitations.
New cards
20

VSO

VSO: 40 knots, stall speed in the landing configuration (flaps fully extended).

New cards
21

VS

VS1: 48 knots, stall speed in a clean configuration (flaps retracted).

New cards
22

VX

VX: 62 knots, best angle of climb speed, providing the most altitude gain over the shortest horizontal distance.

New cards
23

VY

VY: 74 knots, best rate of climb speed, providing the most altitude gain in the shortest time.

New cards
24

VFE

VFE: 110 knots (partial flaps), 85 knots (full flaps), maximum speed at which flaps can be extended safely.

New cards
25

VNO

VNO: 129 knots, maximum structural cruising speed; the upper limit of the normal operating range.

New cards
26

VNE

VNE: 163 knots, never exceed speed; the absolute speed limit for the aircraft to avoid structural failure.

New cards
27

VA

VA: 90-105 knots, maneuvering speed; the maximum speed at which you can use full and abrupt control inputs without overstressing the aircraft.

New cards
28

VR?

VR: 55 knots; rotation speed - the speed at which the pilot begins to lift the nose wheel during takeoff.

New cards
29

VG

VG: 68 knots, best glide speed; provides the maximum distance traveled forward for the least altitude (used in emergency landing scenario)
