Thrust PPL tricky questions stage 3 part 2

how do you land with structural icing?

no flaps, higher speed, lower pitch attitude

what’s the GEA

Garmin Engine Airframe, pg 234 POH

why are the cloud clearances longer (5nm) above 10,000

because the speed limit above 10,000 is sub mach 1, which is faster than the 250knots below 10,000, so you need more time to see people coming

how are our aileron, rudder, and stabilator connected/moveable?

wires and pulleys

what do you need for tailwheel endorsement?

no ground, 1 hour flying, no sim

red out is positive or negative G?

negative G

black out is positive or negative G?

positive G

can you buy oxygen at Addison? where do you look?

yes, chart supplement

what are gray wiggly lines on the sectional

roads

is the 100 hour based on hobs or tach time?

tach time

steps for inop flow

KART (KOEL, ADs/POH, Regs/FARAIM, TCDS),

then deactivate it, log it, and decide as PIC

synonym for an outflow boundary?

gustnado

what is an outflow boundary?

a region of uplifting action following a front

What 2 things do you need to account for with density altitude

worse performance, longer take off/landing roll

how are spark plugs connected to mags?

each mag goes to all 4 cylinders, so there are 8 spark plugs total

how long is a hurricane sigment good for?

6 hours

sigmet explain

ash, dust storm, sandstorm, 50knots

airmet explain

tango = turbulence, llws, 30kt winds

sierra = ifr, mountain obscuration

zulu = freezing, icing

can a 747 takeoff

why can an aircraft on a treadmill going the same speed of the wheels take off?

because the engines make thrust, not the wheels

can you use the far/aim to prove that we can’t take off into known icing?

no, it’s only in the POH. There is a misleading portion in the FAR/AIM that doesn’t apply to us

ram air is blocked

airspeed is zero

ram air synonym

dynamic

static air synonym

ambient

drain hole is blocked

nothing happens! only affects instruments if an inlet is also blocked

blocked pitot tube and drain hole

airspeed and altitude readings are inaccurate

pitot tube is blocked but drain is open

ASI drops to zero

blocked static port

all instruments affected. Frozen altimeter, zero VSI, airspeed inaccurate

how far should you stay from a thunderstorm?

20nm due to anvil (possibly hail, high up = freezing temps)

how much time do you need for most endorsements?

typically just one hour ground, and one hour flight, except for tailwheel, which is real flight only

where are your biannual flight review requirements listed

in the back of the ACS

friend is a realtor and wants them to fly to a house to sell. Can you fly them?

yes—it’s incidental

basic med speed and altitude limits?

250kts, 17999 (no class alpha)

Is basic med VFR only?

no, VFR and IFR, but under 17999

can you instruct with basic med?

yes!! and be a pilot examiner

Inop equipment reg

91.213

who do you talk to if something is inop?

2 people—instructor AND chief

last step for inop flow

decide!!

where do you find ADs

just look up FAA ADs, and put in your aircraft make/model/type AND glance at thrust logs

where’s the secret place to find many but not all ADs at thrust?

Thust logs

where do you find service bulletins

just look up with make and model

if someone gives you a special flight permit, when can you fly?

ONLY during the day and time it specifies

do we need brakes on our aircraft? prove it

yes! FAR AIM part 23

what’s part 23 for in the FAR/AIM

normal category aircraft, airworthiness requirements for manufacturers

SPECI on a METAR means

weird weather showed up out of nowhere. Not a correction, but a specification

why are some TAFs longer? Like those at LAX?

ones with a lot of international flights tend to have 30 hour TAFs because the pilots need to plan farther out

9999

visibility of 10+km

9900

light and variable (less than 5knots)

who are you gonna check with for weather in the plane?

ATIS/AWOS/ASOS

flight service station

nexrad sirus xm 15 min delay

what percent of our atmosphere is nitrogen

roughly 73 percent

what percent of our atmosphere is oxygen

roughly 20 percent

what secret thing do clouds need for form?

cloud condensation nuclei

what POH page do you go to for what you have left in the alternator

POH pg 240

Hypemic hypoxia-list 3 things

CO, anemia, sickle cell

what system helps us balance?

the vestibular illusions

explain what the bends are

nitrogen bubbling in blood, it collects and can kill you. Eye blood vessels can explode
