Compass deviation card

Where is the airworthiness certificate in our plane?

If there is an AFM (aircraft operating manual), that supersedes the POH and is ______(general/tail number specific)

tail number specific

if you go over the IDIS (crossing borders, leaving the 48 contiguous states), you need a ______ from the FCC

radio operator’s license

STC

supplemental type certificate for aircraft post-market modifications (ex. motor swap). Needs an inspection and FAA will award it. Needs to stay with the aircraft

aircraft inspection requirements

Annual— very thorough, 12 cal months

VOR (every 30 days, IFR only)

Inspection (100 hour, for hire only), with grace period of 10 hours only if flying over there, and the extra time is taken off new time. based off of tach/engine time (not hobbs, which is battery on time only)

What is TPA

traffic pattern altitude, 1600 at KADS (1000 AGL)

turn base at what altitude?

300 feet under TPA

on downwind, bug (same/inverse) of your landing runway

inverse (ex. landing 16, bug 340)

when do you turn from downwind to base?

when touchdown point is 45 degrees over your shoulder

How high should you be on final?

1100 at KADS (500 AGL)

how do you enter traffic pattern?

45 degree entry on downwind

explain teardrop pattern entry

stay 500ft above TPA (2100 at KADS), then drop into downwind

power off stall

1. clearing turns and checklist

2. 1500 rpms, pitch for 60 and add flaps

3. reduce angle of attack for a descent

4. then bring nose up 10 degrees and cut power

5. pitch down for 64 to recover

power on stall

1. clearing turns and checklist

2. reduce rpms to 1500

3. pitch for 60, try to maintain altitude with increased rpms

4. pitch up 20-25 degrees, use rudder!!! to stay coordinated (due to torque)

5. pitch down for 64 to recover

emergency checklist

ABCDE. C includes MFMFA (mixture rich fuel pump on mags check fuel tank switch and alt air ).

Occluded front happens when

A fast moving cold front catches up with a slow moving warm front

Thunderstorms can pierce the_____ reaching as high as 50,000-60,000

Tropopause

Thunderstorm life cycle

Drops fall, up and downward motion of air, anvil shape happens, dissipating stage (downdrafts only)

Squall line

Squall lines often indicate

Thunderstorms

When waterdroplets at carried above freezing level, the water becomes

Thunderstorms can affect the accuracy of which instrument due to the pressure changes?

altimeter

Abbreviated briefing

Shortened version of standard briefing, good for getting weather after a delay

Outlook briefing

Requested when planned departure is 6+ hours away, follow up with a standard request

Standard briefing

Normal briefing before each flight. Provides VFR recommendations, synopsis, adverse conditions, NOTAMs, ATC delays
