25
What which airspace can you find an FSS?
Class E and Class G
26
When departing after a large aircraft, when should pilots become airborne?
Prior to the point of rotation of the proceeding aircraft, and stay above the departure path
27
When should a pilot plan to take-off after the landing of a large aircraft?
After the point of touchdown
28
When flying near a large aircraft what should a pilot avoid?
Flight behind and below
29
When landing behind a departing large aircraft, where should the pilot plan to land?
Prior to reaching the point of rotation
30
When landing behind a large aircraft on the same runway, where should a pilot position himself?
At or above the proceding aircrafts final approach path
31
What should an FSS look for in terms of possible wake turbulence?
Calm winds and stabe air, crosswind or tailwind that would keep a vortex on the runway
32
What are stratus clouds?
Stratus clouds most often have very small vertical motions associated with them
33
What causes cumuliform cloud?
the result of rising air currents
34
What characteristic of flight are associated with cumulus clouds
bumpy flight underneath
35
What are some characteristics of TCU?
Rough to very rough air Significant icing if above freezing level
36
What are some characteristics of CB clouds?
Thunderstorm actvity Precipitation, winds Violent vertical currents Hail often present Extreme turbulence Extreme Icing Electrical Discharge
37
What are characteristics of ACC?
Turbulence Precipitation Icing
38
What is Buy's Ballot Law
If you stand with your back to the wind, the area of low pressure will be to your left.
39
Which way does air blow around a low? around a high?
low- counter clockwise high- clockwise
40
Which is larger in diameter, high pressure systems or low pressure systems?
High- several hundreds to thousands of km in diameter low- 10km to hundreds of kms
41
What makes a precision approach?
Localizer and glide plath, also uses decision height
42
What makes a non precision approach?
Uses only a localizer for lateral guidance and a MDA- minimum decision height
43
What are characteristics of stable air?
low visibilities, fog may occur. stratus type cloud. steady precipitation. consistent, steady winds. smooth flying conditions (often IFR with respect to ceiling and visibility).
44
What are characteristics of unstable air?
good visibilities ( vertical currents carry away impurities ). vertical development type clouds. showery precipitation. gusty winds. bumpy flying conditions.
45
What is humidity?
The quantity of water in the air
46
What is relative humidity?
The ratio between the quantity of water in the air and the maximum amount of water vapour a volume can contain
47
What is dewpoint?
The temperature at which water vapour will transform into water droplets
48
What are the five lifting agents?
convection orographic lift frontal lift mechanical turbulence convergence
49
What is MOCA?
Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude The altitude above sea level in effect between radio fixes on a VHF/UHF low level airway which meets the IFR obstruction clearance requirements for the route segment.
50
What is MEA?
Minimum En Route Altitude The published altitude above sea level between radio fixes on airways or air routes which assures acceptable navigational signal coverage and meets the IFR obstruction clearance requirements. Top number on a low chart.
51
What is MRA?
Minimum Reception Altitude At a specific VHF/UHF intersection, the lowest level above sea level at which acceptable navigational coverage is received to determine the intersection.
52
What is a VFR Aeronautical chart?
The purpose of the VNC is to provide navigation information to pilots during the en route portion of flight.
53
What is a terminla chart used for?
to provide the IFR pilot with navigational information in busy terminal environments
54
What is the purpose of a low chart?
The purpose of the LO chart is to provide navigation information for IFR flight in the low level airspace. An IFR air traffic control departure procedure published in CAPs
55
What is the purpose of a high chart?
Similar to LO chart, the purpose is to provide pilots with the navigational information required to navigate at higher altitudes. Used for en route
56
What is the weather minima for a VFR
1000 vertical distance, 3 miles visibility
57
What is the marginal visibility for special VFR?
1-3 SM
58
What is the visibility minima for IFR
1 SM
59
What is the purpose for a flight plan or itinerary?
The flight plan and flight itinerary are the primary sources of information for Search and Rescue (SAR) operations.
60
What is a METAR?
A METAR is the name of the international meteorological code for an Aviation Routine Weather Report. METARS are normally taken and disseminated on the hour.
61
What is a SPECI?
A SPECI is a report taken at other times that reports significant weather events for aviation not previously reported.
62
What is a TAF?
A TAF is the name of the international meteorological code for an Aerodrome Forecast. TAFs are, in essence, forecast METARS, (without temperatures and pressure) that describe the forecast weather broken down into time segments of varying length.
63
What is a PIREP
a pilot report reports weather conditions experienced by an aircraft in flight
64
What is a SIGMET?
SIGMETs are issued by the various Weather Centres across Canada for their own areas of responsibility. A SIGMET is issued whenever at least one of the phenomena requiring a SIGMET has been reported or is expected to occur within the next 4 hours
65
What is an AIRMET?
The AIRMET is a short-term weather advisory intended for aircraft in flight, to notify pilots of potentially hazardous weather conditions not described in the current GFA and not requiring a SIGMET.
66
What is a FD?
Forecast winds and remperatures from 24000ft to 53000ft
67
What are the flight concerns associated with thinderstorms?
Turbulence Hail Lightning Icing Squall lines Tornadoes Low ceilings and visibilities Heavy rain showers Microbursts
68
