Q

If you experience lost comms during VFR flight, what should you do?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Plan to land at an appropriate non-towered airport, squawk 7600, call flight supervisor and flight service station if on a flight plan
22
Q

If you experience lost comms during IFR flight, what should you do?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Altitude = fly highest of “MEA”, minimum IFR altitude, Expected, or Assigned
  • Route = select route by this order “AVEF”, Assigned > Vector > Expected > Filed
  • If the clearance limit ends at a fix from which the approach begins = start descent and approach as close as possible to ETA/EFC
  • If the clearance limit does NOT end at a fix from which the approach begins = fly to clearance limit then fly to fix that begins an approach as close as possible to ETA/EFC
  • Squawk 7600
  • after landing contact ERAU flight operations
23
Q

What are the accident or incident notification procedures?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • notify the flight supervisor as soon as possible
  • list the date and time, location, aircraft and tail number, number and type of injuries, description, name of person reporting
24
Q

What should you do if you experience an accident or incident while in the air?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • contact a controlling agency, explain the situation, and ask them to notify ERAU
25
What should you do if you get lost?
1. fly the airplane 2. use terrain and sectional to figure out position 3. use navigation equipment 4. get help from ATC 5. monitor fuel 6. land as soon as practical
26
What are the 5 C's?
- climb, conserve, communicate, confess, comply
27
When do you have to provide a landing safety briefing?
- before all pre-solo dual training flights, supervised solo flights, and any flight resulting in the issuance of a PQ card
28
What needs to be covered in a landing safety briefing?
1. proper seat height and position 2. point of visual focus during landings 3. go-around decisions
29
What are the drug and alcohol rules for ERAU?
Prohibited from flying when: 1. Within 12 hours of drinking alcohol 2. Under the influence 3. Using medicine of drug that affects pilots abilities 4. Received a DUI and has not reported it
30
What is proper seat height and position?
- good visibility over cowling | - consistent with previous flights
31
Where should our point of visual focus be during landings?
- if focus point too far = hard to tell height over runway - if focus point close = blurring of runway surface - as airspeed decreases = focus point become closer to airplane
32
When must an immediate go-around be performed?
- high round out - late or rapid rollout - excessive floating - ballooning - proposing - wind shear - any other factor placing good landing in doubt
33
What are the conditions of a stable landing?
- constant final approach pitch - properly trimmed - airspeed within 5 knots - landing configuration established - on proper approach path - on centerline - “stable” callout while on final above 100 ft AGL
34
How long is a PQ card valid for?
- 30 days
35
Who is eligible to be an observer on ERAU flights?
- current or prospective ERAU students - ERAU faculty or staff - ERAU alumni - FAA inspectors - friends/family of current students - people approved by the Chief Flight Instructor
36
What are the flight instructor duty restrictions?
- 61.195 (no more than 8 hours of flight instruction in any 24 hour period) - max 6 consecutive working days - minimum of 10 hours of off-duty time between duty periods - max duty period of 12 hours
37
While refueling at a different airport, what must the PIC do?
- observe the fueling to ensure the right fuel is being used

39
What is the battery power requirement for iPad's on cross-country flights?
- 80%
40
What is a duty period?
- period of time beginning at the start of the instructors first activity and ending with conclusion of their last activity
41
When are schedules due in ETA?
- 8:00 am the day prior | - ex. 8:00 am on Sunday for Monday's schedule
42
When are schedules posted in ETA?
- 3:00 pm
43
What are the local flight fuel requirements?

Incomplete and unsat.
46
Can you accept a LAHSO clearance?
Yes. Student pilots no.
47
If an activity has to be repeated, what must be documented in the comments section of the student’s training record?
1. Lesson number to be repeated 2. Repeat number 3. Specific tasks/issues that need to be worked on.
48
What are the take-off runway distance requirements?
The greater of: 1. The sum of the TO ground roll and landing ground roll 2. The TO distance over a 50’ obstacle
49
What are the runway distance requirements for touch-and-go’s?
Equal to or greater than sum of the calculated landing distance and TO distance (both over 50’)
