48
Q

What privileges apply to a commercial pilot? (14 CFR 61.133)

A

A person who holds a commercial pilot certificate may act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft:

a. Carrying persons or property for compensation or hire
b. For compensation or hire

Note: 14 CFR §61.133 also states that a commercial pilot must be qualified and comply with the applicable parts of the regulations that apply to the particular operation being conducted, for example Part 91 or 135.

49
Q

Discuss commercial pilot operations.

A

A commercial pilot intending to conduct operations as a pilot-in-command of an aircraft carrying persons or property for compensation or hire should look cautiously at any proposal for revenue operating flights.

The following facts should be considered:

a. Part 61 states that you may be paid for acting as PIC of an aircraft engaged in carrying persons or property for compensation or hire. Part 61 does not mention, that if acting totally by yourself, you could be considered a commercial operator, and as such, be subject to an entirely different set of regulations.
b. A commercial pilot certificate by itself does not allow you to act as a commercial operator. It only allows you to work for a commercial operator and be paid for your service, with certain exceptions.
c. As a commercial pilot certain commercial operations are allowed without being in possession of an “Operating Certificate.” Examples of such operations are: student instruction, certain nonstop sightseeing flights, ferry or training flights, aerial work operations including crop dusting, banner towing, aerial photography, powerline or pipeline patrol, etc. These operations are listed in 14 CFR §119.1.

50
Q

What does the term “commercial operator” refer to? (14 CFR Part 1)

A

Commercial operator means a person who, for compensation or hire, engages in the carriage by aircraft in air commerce of persons or property, other than as an air carrier or foreign air carrier or under the authority of Part 375 of this title [Title 14]. Where it is doubtful that an operation is for “compensation or hire,” the test applied is whether the carriage by air is merely incidental to the person’s other business or is, in itself, a major enterprise for profit.

51
Q

Define the term “common carriage.” (AC 120-12)

A

Common carriage refers to the carriage of passengers or cargo as a result of advertising the availability of the carriage to the public. A carrier becomes a common carrier when it “holds itself out” to the public, or a segment of the public, as willing to furnish transportation within the limits of its facilities to any person who wants it. There are four elements in defining a “common carrier”:

a. A holding out or a willingness to
b. Transport persons or property
c. From place to place
d. For compensation

52
Q

Define the term “holding out”.

A

Holding out implies offering to the public the carriage of persons and property for hire either intrastate or interstate. This holding out which makes a person a common carrier can be done in many ways, and it does not matter how it is done.

a. Signs and advertising are the most direct means of holding out but are not the only ones.
b. A holding out may be accomplished through the actions of agents, agencies, or salesmen who may obtain passenger traffic from the general public and collect them into groups to be carried by the operator.
c. Physically holding out without advertising, yet gaining a reputation to “serve all,” is sufficient to constitute an offer to carry all customers. For example, the expression of willingness to all customers with whom contact is made that the operator can and will perform the requested service is sufficient. It makes no difference if the holding out generates little success; the issue is the nature and character of the operation.
d. A carrier holding itself out as generally willing to carry only certain kinds of traffic is nevertheless a common carrier.

53
Q

Define “private carriage”.

A

Carriage for hire that does not involve holding out is “private carriage.” Private carriage for hire is carriage for one or several selected customers, generally on a long-term basis. The number of contracts must not be too great, otherwise it implies a willingness to make a contract with anybody. A carrier operating with 18 to 24 contracts has been labeled a common carrier because it has held itself out to serve the general public to the extent of its facilities. Private carriage has been found in cases where three contracts have been the sole basis of the operator’s business. But the number of contracts is not the determining factor when assessing whether a particular operation is common carriage or private carriage; any proposal for revenue-generating flights that would most likely require certification as an air carrier should be examined closely if you intend to practice private carriage.

54
Q

What are some examples of non-common carriage operations that involve the transportation of persons or property and may involve compensation, but are conducted under part 91? (14 CFR 91.501)

A

What are some examples of non-common carriage operations
a. Flights conducted by the operator of an airplane for the operator’s own personal transportation, or the transportation of guests.

b. Carriage of company officials, employees, and guests on an airplane operated under a time sharing, interchange, or joint ownership agreement.
c. Carriage of property (except mail) incidental to business (limited compensation for expenses).
d. Carriage of a group (with common purpose) when there is no charge, assessment or fee.
e. Fractional Ownership

55
Q

What is the FAAs rule for Hypoxia avoidance?

A

For optimum protection, pilots are encouraged to use supplemental oxygen above 10,000 feet during the day and above 5,000 feet at night.

56
Q

What is a convective SIGMET?

A

Convective SIGMETs (WST) imply severe or greater turbulence, severe icing and low-level wind shear. They may be issued for any convective situation which the forecaster feels is hazardous to all categories of aircraft. Bulletins are issued hourly at H+55, and special bulletins are issued at any time as required and updated at H+55. The text of the bulletin consists of either an observation and a forecast, or just a forecast (valid for up to 2 hours):

57
Q

What is a SIGMET?

A

A SIGMET (WS) advises of non-convective weather that is potentially hazardous to all aircraft. SIGMETs are issued for the six areas corresponding to the FA areas. The maximum forecast period is four hours. In the conterminous U.S., SIGMETs are issued when the following phenomena occur or are expected to occur:

a. Severe icing not associated with a thunderstorm.
b. Severe or extreme turbulence or clear air turbulence (CAT) not associated with thunderstorms.
c. Duststorms or sandstorms lowering surface or inflight visibilities to below 3 miles.
d. Volcanic ash.

58
Q

What is an AIRMET?

A

An AIRMET is an advisory of significant weather phenomena that describes conditions at intensities lower than those which require the issuance of SIGMETs. They are issued every 6 hours beginning at 0245 UTC. Pilots should use AIRMETs in the preflight and enroute phase of flight to enhance safety. AIRMET information is available in two formats: text bulletins (WA) and graphics (G-AIRMET). Each AIRMET bulletin includes an outlook for conditions expected after the valid period and contains details about IFR, extensive mountain obscuration, turbulence, strong surface winds, icing, and freezing levels.

59
Q

What are the types of AIRMETs?

A

There are three types of AIRMETs, Sierra, Tango, and Zulu:

a. AIRMET Sierra describes IFR conditions and/or extensive mountain obscurations.
b. AIRMET Tango describes moderate turbulence, sustained surface winds of 30 knots or greater, and/or nonconvective low-level wind shear.
c. AIRMET Zulu describes moderate icing and provides freezing level heights.

60
Q

What is a surface analysis chart?

A

This is a computer-prepared chart transmitted every three hours that covers the contiguous 48 states and adjacent areas. Provides a ready means of locating pressure systems and fronts. It also gives an overview of winds, temperatures and dew point temperatures at chart time. Since weather moves and conditions change, using the surface analysis chart along with other weather information gives a more complete weather picture.

61
Q

What are the classes of NOTAMs?

A

NOTAMs are classified into four groups:

a. (D) NOTAMs — Information that requires wide dissemination via telecommunication and pertains to en route navigational aids, civil public-use airports listed in the AFD, facilities, services, and procedures.
b. FDC NOTAMs — Flight information that is regulatory in nature including, but not limited to, changes to IFR charts, procedures, and airspace usage.
c. POINTER NOTAMs — Issued by a flight service station to highlight or point out another NOTAM; such as an FDC NOTAM. These NOTAMs assist users in cross-referencing important information that may not be found under an airport or NAVAID identifier.
d. MILITARY NOTAMs — Pertain to U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine, and Navy navigational aids/airports that are part of the NAS.

62
Q

What are the major classifications of thunderstorms?

A

Air mass thunderstorms—Most often result from surface heating. They occur at random in unstable air and last for only an hour or two. They reach maximum intensity and frequency over land during middle and late afternoon. Off-shore they reach a maximum during late hours of darkness when land temperature is coolest and cool air flows off the land over the relatively warm water.

Steady-state thunderstorms—Usually form in lines, last for several hours, dump heavy rain and possibly hail, and produce strong gusty winds and possibly tornadoes. They are normally associated with weather systems. Fronts, converging winds, and troughs aloft force upward motion spawning these storms which often form into squall lines. They are intensified by afternoon heating.

63
Q

What are the “five P’s”?

A

At key decision points, application of the 5P checklist should be performed by reviewing each of the critical variables:

Plan—weather, route, publications, ATC reroutes/delays, fuel onboard/remaining

Plane—mechanical status, automation status, database currency, backup systems

Pilot—illness, medication, stress, alcohol, fatigue, eating

Passengers—pilots/non-pilots, nervous or quiet, experienced or new; business or pleasure

Programming—autopilot, GPS, MFD/PFD; anticipate likely reroutes/clearances; questions to ask—What is it doing? Why is it doing it? Did I do it?
