PPL/CPL ground Docs and Airworthiness

docs required onboard for all flights

Airworthness certificate

Registration certificate

Operators handbook (POH)

Weight and balance

Journey log

Insurance

Licenses

how long is the CoA valid for

indefinitely as long as the A/C is maintained in accordance with requirements of the controlling agency

What invalidates the CoA

Limitation not complied

Exceeded

Airworthness directive

Destroyed

snag

what must be done in order to prove airworthyness

insure sufficent airtime is remaining

compass swung within past year

ELT certified passed year

no snags

pitotstatic system certified within 2 years if using class B airspace

what document lists the owner and purpose of the aircraft

The aircraft's registration certificate.

do amateur built aircraft have a CoA

they only have a flight permit

what info comes from the CoR

nationality, registration mark, manufacturer, model, serial number, purpose, name and address of the owner, registration date, certificate issue date and minister of transport signature

how long is the CoR valid for

Destroyed
Exported
Address
Dead
Sold

how long does an aircraft owner have to notify the ministry of a address change

max of 7 days

what is the CoR procedure if an A/C is sold

CoR is filled out and mailed back to transport, with the pink copy usable until 90 days, another transfer or the new CoR is received

how long is a radio station license valid for

until march 31st anually

difference between radio station and radio operator license

The radio station license authorizes the operation of the radio station, while the radio operator license certifies the individual to operate the radio, with this license being valid for life

what does the POH stand for and why is it important to have?

it is the pilot operating handbook and has all info on the make and model of the A/C allowing for research for info that is needed to fly the A/C

What’s the difference between POH weight and balance and weight and balance aircraft reports

The POH has a generic example of weight and balance but the sheet is specific to the aircraft and includes operational equipment

Define basic empty weight

Weight of standard aircraft with full oil, unusable fuel and operational equipment

Define MTOW

Max weight approved for start of take off run

Does the weight and balance report need to be onboard for every flight

Yes it does

What important info is on the original weight and balance report that will not be found elsewhere

Date of aircraft manufacturer, actual usable fuel, amount of full oil

What’s the difference between normal and utility category

Utility is for the purpose of spins and normal is max gross weight where spins are prohibited

How will an excessive forward CoG effect the aircraft

Will require more back pressure at rotation and landing with a higher chance of wheelbarrowing or having a prop strike

How will an excessive aft CoG affect the aircraft

Less back pressure of takeoff and landing, higher chance of tail strike and dangerous stall and spin characteristics

Will there be a higher or lower then normal stall speed with an aft CoG

Stall speed is reduced but more likely for tail to drop and cause a flat spin

Will the stall speed be high or lower then normal with a a forward CoG

stall speed will increase but the nose will drop

how to determine moment

weight x arm

how often must an aircraft be reweighed

if change in weight over 2% of empty weight or if unmeasurable weight change (paint), every 5 yrs over 12500lbs

does the journey log need to be carried every flight

yes unless flight school flight within 25 nm of base

whats the difference between air and flight time

airr time is wheels up to wheels down, flight time wheels start moving under own power to when wheels stop

can u legally fly the plane with a snag even if its minor

no you cannot unless an AME has checked it and signed it off

are inspections based on air or flight time?

they are based on airtime

can you fly longer then an inspection due time

yes for 10 hours if an AME signs it off in the logbook

What type of maintenance schedule is the aircraft on

Cessnas are 50/100/50/200h inspections

How can you tell when the next inspection is due

Check the journey log

How often must the compass be swung

Compass must be swung annually

When do you require an ELT

Require at all times unless the aircraft is operated within 25nm of departure aerodrome

How often must the elt be certified

Annually

At what time can you check to see if the ELT is operational

First 5 minutes of each hour for 5 seconds

How must a journey log error be corrected

With a single line through them

How many minutes is 0.1

0.1 is 6 minutes

What are the 4 sections of the technical logbook and can it be carried onboard the aircraft

Airframe, propeller, engine and aircraft modifications, and it cannot be carried with the journey log

What must be check in the journey log before a cross country

Airworthiness, time till next inspection

What are the minimum instruments for day VFR

M manifold pressure gauge

O oil temp gauge

O oil pressure gauge

F fuel quantity indicator

A airspeed indicator

C compass

T tachometer

A altimeter

What is the minimum instruments for night VFR

F spare fuses

A attitude indicator

T turn coordinator

D directional gyro

A altimeter

P pitot heat

I instrument lights

L lights

O OAT gauge

V VSI

What are interceptions orders and where can you find them

They air air to visual communications and copies are in the plan, in the CFS and AIP

Documents that flight crew must have to pilot the aircraft

Valid medical, licenses and permits, radio license if using radio

How long is a class 3 medical valid for

5 yrs under 40 and 1 year over 40

How long is a class 1 medical valid for

1 year under 40 and 6 months over 40

When does a medical expire

First day of the following month (13th, 7th etc)

Does proof of insurance need to be carried

Yes unless commercial aircraft
