Q

How to stay Current?

6HITS

A

In the last 6 months, at least six approaches, holding procedures, intercepting and tracking courses through electronic systems. can log 6HITS after six months but safety pilot, examiner, or instructor must be present. Safety pilot must have private with same category and class plane. After 12 months, must do an IPC by CFII, examiner or any other approved person, some but not all tasks can be in FTD

Q

Proficiency vs Currency

A

Proficiency: how much skill you have in ifr approaches. (i.e you have 6 hits but got them five months ago and haven’t flown since weather outside is ifr all around and approach needed is ils but you are used to flying rnav approaches
Currency: faa legal requirements to fly ifr

Q

Other anti-icing

A

Icing boots: rubber-like boots on leading edge; when system is turned on after ice accumulates on the boots and the sensor notices the boots inflate to break/ crack the ice and it falls off. ICE REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF LIFT

Q

Types of Fog

A

Happens 50ft above ground when temp/dew point are same.
Advection: warm air moves over cold surface
Radiation: calm clear nights when ground rapidly cools because of release of ground heat
Upslope: moist air is forced up terrain and cooled by adiabatic cooling
Ice: temp below freezing and water vapor turns into ice crystals
Steam: cold air moves over warm surface

Q

Types of Icing

A

Structural: Happens with visible moisture and surface below freezing
- Clear (Worst, Hard to see, smooth, large supercooled water droplets), Rime (rough, small supercooled water droplets), Mixed
Instrument: pitot and static
Induction: reduces the amount of air for engine intake
Intake: block engine intake
Carburetor: temperature drops in carburetor venturi

Q

Lost Comms Procedure

Study These Flashcards
A

Altitude FLY THE HIGHEST OF: Minimum Enroute Altitude, Expected Altitude, Assigned Altitude (MEA)
Route FLY BY ORDER: Assigned Route, Vectored Route, Expected Route, Filed Route

23
Q

RNP

Study These Flashcards
A 
A statement of navigation equipment and service performance. WE DO NOT HAVE IT. 
Ranges 95%- 
- Enroute: 2NM, 
- Terminal &Departure: 1NM,
-  Final Approach: 0.3NM

Q

VOR Checks, how its done, and signed off

DEPS

Study These Flashcards
A

Private Pilots and Mechanics can do checks
Tests: Ground, Air, VOT, Dual, Repair Station
Sign off: Date, Error, Place, Signature

25
VOR Limitations, Full Deflection, Line of sight
Limitations: Cone of Confusion, Requires line of sight, Reverse Sensing Full Deflection: 10 degrees off Line of sight over VOR: station doesn’t know where you are as you are in cone of confusion
26
How VOR works
The aircraft’s VOR receiver compares the difference between the VOR’s variable and reference phase to determine bearing from station
27
VOR Service Volume
Terminal: 1,000ft-12,000ft 25 NM Low: 1,000ft-18,000ft 40NM NEW: 5,000ft-18,000ft 70NM High: 1,000ft-60,000ft 100NM New: 5,000ft-14,500ft 70NM
28
Localizer
Range: up to 18NM & 35degrees on each side of centerline Width:3-6 degrees Frequencies:108.1-111.95 Provides lateral Guidance. 4x more sensitive than VOR
29
ILS
Provides Lateral and vertical guidance Range: 10NM Width: 1.4 degrees Slope: 3 degrees CAN GET FALSE GLIDE SLOPE
30
Marker Beacon
Outer: 4-7miles (blue) where you intercept glide slope Middle: 3,500ft from runway (amber) Inner: Between middle and runway threshold; where glideslope meets da (white)
31
GPS
Minimum of 24 satellites with at least 5 in range at any given time. 3 satellites needed for 2D; 4 needed for 3D. Aircraft GPS receiver calculates distance based on time lapse since broadcast time stamp and the time it received the signal. Uses intersection of multiple satellites to calculate position
32
RAIM
Monitors the integrity of the satellites. 5 satellites needed to check RAIM. 6 satellites needed to replace bad signal/ satellite
33
WAAS
Ground Station that covers a wide area measures gps errors and sends corrective signals Improves accuracy, integrity, and availability monitoring. Facilitates LPV and LNAV/VNAV approaches
34
ATOMATOFLAMES
Altimeter, Tachometer, Oil pressure gauge, Manifold pressure, Airspeed indicator, Temperature gauge, Oil temp gauge, Fuel quantity gauge, Landing gear lights, Anticollision Lights, Mag Compass, ELT, Safety belt
35
FLAPS

37
MARVELOUSVFRC500 (required ifr reports)
Missed approach, Airspeed change, Reaching Fix, VFR on top, ETA change, Leaving Fix, Outer Marker, Unforecast Weather, Safety of flight, Vacating Fix, Final fix, Radio/nav/approach failure, Compulsory points, unable to maintain 500fpm climb/descent
38
Non-radar reporting points (A PTA TEN R)
Aircraft ID, Position, Time, Altitude, Type of flight plan, ETA and name of next fix, Name of point after next, any Remarks (A PTA TEN R)
39
Pick up and cancel flight plan | File
Pickup: Calling in to FSS, ground at airport, clearance delivery, in air from departure Cancel: in air when in VMC with airport in sight, Tower closes upon landing, Call after landing at non-towered field File: FSS (phone, radio, in person), Online, EFB
40
Electrical System
28volt system, 28volt/ 70amp alternator, 24volt battery, 24volt emergency battery Battery: provides electric power prior to engine start (starter, essential bus, non-essential bus) Provides stored power Alternator: engine driven, charges battery, becomes primary source of power after start Emergency Battery: powers emergency bus for 30mins in event of failure
41
Fuel System
50 gallon total, 48 gallon usable, engine driven fuel pump, backup electric auxiliary pump. 3 drains
42
ADAHRS
Replaced traditional instruments AHRS: gathers information from magnetometers and accelerometers and using computer algorithms translates data to instruments ADC: receives input from pitot static ports and computes data
43
Primary Instruments
Airspeed Indicator, Attitude Indicator, Altimeter, VSI Skill: Cross Check, Instrument Interpretation, Aircraft Control - Avoid: Fixation, Omission. Emphasis
44
Oxygen Requirements
12,500-14,000: supplemental must be supplied after 30mins to flight crew 14,001-15,000: flight crew must use supplemental oxygen for entire flight 15,000: oxygen must be supplied to passengers
45
What happens when vmc to imc
Spatial Disorientation
46
Fly unknown plane into imc
NO!!!!
47
Min IFR altitude
Except for takeoff and landing: Be at or above minimum prescribed or 2,000ft above highest obstacle in mountainous areas, or 1000ft above non-mountainous areas
48
IFR Takeoff minimums
1-2 engine planes: 1SM visibility | More than 2: ½SM visibility
49
Preflight Requirements NWKRAFT
NOTAMs, Weather, Known delays, Runway lengths/approaches, Alternatives, Fuel requirements, Takeoff and landing data
50
