Question 16

What do you need to enter clash Charlie airspace

Answer 16

Two-way communications with ATC and they need to say your tail number and your aircraft needs to be trackable likely ADSB

4 to 7 nautical miles in diameter and from the surface to 2500 feet

Question 18

What do you need to enter class Delta air space

Answer 18

To way communications

Question 19

What is class echo airspace

Answer 19

Any air space that is not alpha bravo Charlie delta
in most places it extends down to 1200 feet AGL
in some places it extends down to 700 feet AGL
and then in some places it extends all the way down to the surface
and then it can extend up to 17,999 feet and above 60,000 feet

Question 20

What are the requirements for class echo airspace

Answer 20

There are no requirements

Question 21

What is class golf airspace

Answer 21

Any air space that is not alpha, bravo ,Charlie ,delta ,echo
usually around non towered airport surface to 700 feet at an airport
Surface to 1200 feet AGL everywhere else

Question 22

Class bravo airspace VFR weather minimums

Answer 22

Three statute miles Visibility and clear of clouds

Question 23

What are the VFR weather minimums for class Charlie and class delta air space

Answer 23

Three statute miles Visibility and 1000 feet above the clouds 500 feet below the clouds and 2000 feet laterally

Question 24

Best rate of climb Vy

Answer 24

Produces most altitude gained over given amount of time

Question 25

What is best angle of climb Vx

Answer 25

Produces most altitude gain over a given horizontal distance

Question 26

What is absolute ceiling of an aircraft

Answer 26

Where best angle of climb and best rate of climb lines intersect

Question 27

What is P factor

Answer 27

The asymmetric condition resulting from the center of thrust of the propeller moving to the right due to increasing AOA of descending blade

Question 28

When to start leveling off

Answer 28

10% of the rate of climb so if rate of climb is 500 ft./min. start leveling off 50 feet prior

Question 29

What is partial power descent

Answer 29

Also called cruise or email route descent . Airspeed and pitch for prolonged descent should be used. 500 Fpm

Question 30

What is descent at minimum safe airspeed

Answer 30

Nose high poser assisted decent condition principally used for clearing obstacles during approach to Short runways your speed is normally no greater than 1.3 VSO

Question 31

What is glide ratio

Answer 31

Distance airplane travels in relation to the altitude of this

Question 32

What is best glide air speed

Answer 32

Speed where plane travels greatest distance forward for given altitude loss Also highest lift to drag Point

Question 33

What is minimum sink speed

Answer 33

Maximize the time in airplane remains in flight and is usually a lower airspeed than the best glide speed

Question 34

What is the cardinal rule of airplane flying with regards to glide

Answer 34

A pilot should never attempt to stretch a glide by applying back elevator pressure in reducing the airspeed below the best glide speed

Question 35

Describe the biggest hazard in a low level gliding turn

Answer 35

If the rudder is excessively deflected in the direction of the Bank and the pilot is increasing elevator back pressure in an attempt to retain altitude the situation can turn into an recoverable spin

Question 36

What is a cross control condition in a gliding airplane

Answer 36

Pilot depressing rudder pedal with excessive pressure that causes plane to bank in direction of rudder deflection and then pilot applies opposite aileron to prevent bank from increasing while applying elevator back pressure will almost certainly result in rapid and unrecoverable spin
