Missed Test Items

Question 1

Turbulence

Answer 1

Types:
Convective: uneven heating of the earths surface, causing heat to rise creating an unstable layer.

Mechanical: Obstructions to airflow, trees buildings and mountains. disrupted airflow flow into a complex snarl of eddies, this is mechanical turbulence. intensity depends on wind speed and roughness of obstructions. Unstable air breaks up eddie currents quicker than stable air

Mountain Wave: Form of mechanical turbulence developed on the downward side of mountains

Wind Shear: turbulence between two wind currents of different directions. associated with either wind shift or a wind speed gradient at any level

Clear-Air: Sudden severe turbulence occurring in cloudless regions that cause violent buffeting of aircraft. usually experienced at higher altitudes

Question 2

Time, climb and descent rates, course, distance, heading, true airspeed, groundspeed

Answer 2

-

Question 3

Pitot-static, vacuum/pressure, associated flight instruments

Answer 3

-

Question 4

hyperventilation

Answer 4

What it is: The excessive rate and depth of respiration leading to abnormal loss of carbon dioxide

Symtoms:
Visual Impairment
Dizzy
Tingling

Cure: Slowing breathing rate, breathing into a paper bag, talking out-loud

Question 5

Determining that the airplane to be used is appropriate and airworthy

Answer 5

The aircraft conforms to its type certificate and authorized modifications; and the aircraft must be in condition for safe operation.
AVIATES
ARROW
Placards
ATOMATOFLAMES
FLAPS

Question 6

Appropriate use of transponder

Answer 6

-In Class A, Class B, or Class C airspace.

-Above 10,000 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL), excluding airspace below 2,500 feet Above Ground Level (AGL).

-Within a 30 nautical mile radius of the relevant primary airport in class B airspace (This 30 nautical mile area is known as the “Mode C Veil”).

-Above, and within the lateral boundaries of Class B or Class C airspace up to 10,000 feet MSL.
