IM SAFE Checklist

Illness

Medication

Stress

Alcohol

Fatigue

Eating

Emotion

New cards
13

Hazardous Attitudes

Anti-Authority - Follow the rules, they’re usually right

Impulsivity - Not so fast, think first

Invulnerability - It could happen to me

Macho - Taking chances is foolish

Resignation - I’m not helpless, I can make a difference

New cards
14

Controlled Flight Into Terrain

When an airplane is flown into terrain with no prior awareness

Results from weather, unfamiliar environment, nonstandard procedures, breakdown/loss of communication, loss of situational awareness, lack of perception hazards, and lack of sound risk management techniques

New cards
15

Alcohol

FARs require blood alcohol level of less than .04, 8 hours bottle to throttle, and cannot be under the effects of alcohol

New cards
16

POH

Should be followed unless in an emergency

New cards
17

Ailerons

Thumbs point to up aileron

New cards
18

Horizontal Stabilizer

Elevator is attached to the back

New cards
19

Vertical Stabilizer

Rudder is attached to the back

New cards
20

Trim Devices

Help minimize workload

New cards
21

Pilots Operating Handbook and Airplane Flight Manual

Synonymous with each other

New cards
22

AVIATE

Annual Inspection (12 Months)

VOR Inspection (30 Days)

100 Hour Inspection

Altimeter (Pitot/Static) (24 Months)

Transponder (24 Months)

ELT (12 Months)

New cards
23

Annual and 100 Hour

Annual covers 100 Hour but not vise versa

New cards
24

Four Stroke Operating Cycle

Intake

Compression

Power

Exhaust

4 Strokes, 2 Full Cycles

New cards
25

Magnetos

Should see a drop in RPM when one is turned off and the other is left on

New cards
26

Detonation

An uncontrolled, explosive ignition of the fuel/air mix

New cards
27

Preignition

When the fuel/air mix is ignited in advance of normal ignition

New cards
28

Fuel

Most common for piston-powered aircraft is avgas 100 low lead (Blue)

Can use next higher grade of fuel in emergency

87→ 100 → 100LL

New cards
29

Cooling Systems

Engine is mainly cooled by outside air which is let into the engine by cowlings

New cards
30

Propellers

Closer to center = Higher angle of attack

Further from center = Lower angle of attack

Outside cuts air faster, lift is the same throughout the propeller

New cards
31

Airspeed Indicator

Uses both pitot and static pressure to calculate airspeed

New cards
32

Vx

Best angle

New cards
33

Vy

Best climb

New cards
34

Va

Maneuvering speed

New cards
35

Vso

Lower limit of white arc, stalling speed, minimum steady flight in landing

New cards
36

Vs1

Lower limit of green arc, stalling speed, minimum steady flight speed

New cards
37

Vfe

Upper limit of white arc, maximum flaps extended speed

New cards
38

Vno

Upper limit of green arc, maximum cruising speed

New cards
39

Vne

Red line, never exceed speed

New cards
40

White Arc

Flap operating range

New cards
41

Green Arc

Normal operating range

New cards
42

Yellow Arc

The caution range

New cards
43

Altimeter Saying

High to low, look out below

Low to high, you’re in the sky

Both for pressure and temperature

New cards
44

Vertical Speed Indicator

Uses static pressure

New cards
45

Heading Indicator

Uses gyros, can be prone to tumbling, but can be realigned using the magnetic compass on the ground or in straight-and-level flight

New cards
46

Four Forces of Flight

Lift, weight, thrust, and drag

New cards
47

Angle of Attack

Angle between chord line and relative wind

New cards
48

Lift on Wings

Created by low pressure, high speed air on top and high pressure, low speed air on bottom

(Newtons 3rd law and Bernoulli’s principle)

New cards
49

Vertical Axis

Controlled by rudder, creates yawing motion

New cards
50

Longitudinal Stability

Controlled by elevator, aircraft stability about lateral axis

New cards
51

Lateral Stability

Controlled by ailerons, aircraft stability about longitudinal axis

New cards
52

Center of Gravity Aft

Severe control problems

New cards
53

PARE

Power Idle

Ailerons neutral

Rudder opposite

Elevator pressure

New cards
54

Left Turning Tendencies

Torque

Gyroscopic Precession

Asymmetrical Thrust

Spiraling Slipstream

New cards
55

Turns are Accomplished By

Horizontal component of lift

New cards
56

Accelerated Stalls

Stalls that occur from increased G-forces at higher airspeeds

New cards
57

Scanning

Should be done in 10 degree incraments

New cards
58

During Night Flight, Use

Peripheral Vision

New cards
59

Right of Way

Aircraft that have right-of-way: aircraft being overtaken, aircraft to the right, and aircraft in distress

New cards
60

Runway Numbers

Nearest magnetic direction to runway, then rounded to nearest 10 degrees, then 0 is dropped

New cards
61

Displaced Threshold

May not be used for landing, but can be used for taxiing, landing rollout, and takeoffs

New cards
62

Blastpad/Stopway

Cannot be used for landing, takeoff, or taxiing, but can be used in emergencies

New cards
63

Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI)

Two bar: red above white, on glide path

Both white, too high

Both red, too low

New cards
64

Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI)

Lights installed in a row: Two white to the left, two red on the right, on glide path

All white, too high

All red, too low

New cards
65

Airports

Controlled, blue
