31
Q

what limitations and privileges apply to a private pilot? (8)

A

1) cannot act as PIC if carrying passengers or property for compensation or hire; nor for compensation or hire.
2) may act as PIC in connection with a business or employment if it is only incidental to that business or employment and does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire.
3) may not pay less than the pro rata share of the operating expenses of flight with passengers, expenses include fuel, oil, airport expenditures, or rental fees.
4) may act as PIC of a charitable, nonprofit, or community event flight described in 91.146, if the sponsor and pilot comply with the requirements.
5) may be reimbursed for operating expenses that are directly related to search and location operations, expenses include fuel, oil, airport expenditures, and rental fees. This must be under the direction of the local, state, or federal agencies or organization that conduct the search and location.
6) may demonstrate the aircraft to a buyer in flight if the pilot has logged at least 200 hours.
7) may act as PIC of an aircraft towing a glider or unpowered ultralight vehicle, provided they meet the requirements, 61.69
8) may act as PIC for the purpose of conducting a production flight test in a light-sport aircraft intended for cert in light-sort category, provided they meet the requirements 61.113(h)

32
Q

what is the difference between pilotage and dead reckoning?

A

Pilotage: navigation by reference to visual landmarks

Dead reckoning: computing direction and distance from a known position (GS, heading, true course, etc.)

33
Q

What is magnetic variation?

A

Variation is the angle between true north and magnetic north.

34
Q

what is magnetic deviation?

A

Because of magnetic influences within the airplane itself (radios, lights, magnetized metal parts, etc.) the compass needle is frequently deflected from its normal reading. THIS IS DIFFERENT FOR EACH AIRPLANE!

35
Q

Name types of radio aids to air navigation (5)

A 
NDB (nondirectional radio beacon), 
VOR (VHF omnidirectional range), 
VORTAC (VHF omnidirectional range/tactical air navigation), 
DME (distance measuring equipment), 
RNAV

A

42
Q

what is a VOR radial?

A

A line of magnetic bearing extending from a VOR. There are 360 radials extending from the VOR and they are always identified by their direction “from” the station.

43
Q

What are the 5 (6) C’s?

A

Climb: you have a better chance of identifying landmarks and you get better communication capability
Communicate: Use whatever is available to you, towers, FSS, military, or worst case scenario 121.5
Confess: once communication is established, let them know your problem, and admit it to yourself.
Comply: follow instructions
*Circle: circle the area so you do not become more lost.
*Conserve: make sure you are conserving fuel so you can get to another airport or get home.

44
Q

All flights not in the vicinity of the airport you must have…

A 
Delays
runway lengths
alternates
weather
fuel requirements
performance
45
Q

What instruments operate off the pitot/static system?

A

airspeed, vertical speed, and altimeter

46
Q

Absolute altitude

A

the vertical distance of an aircraft above the terrain

47
Q

Indicated altitude

A

the altitude read directly from the altimeter (uncorrected) after it is set to the current altimeter setting.

48
Q

Pressure altitude

A

the altitude when the altimeter setting window is adjusted to 29.92. Pressure altitude is used to computer solutions to determine density altitude, true altitude, true airspeed, etc.

49
Q

True altitude

A

the true vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level. Airport, terrain, and obstacle elevations found on aeronautical charts are true altitude.

50
Q

Density altitude

A

pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature variations. Directly related to an aircrafts takeoff, climb, and landing charts.

51
Q

Indicated airspeed

A

the speed of the airplane that is observed on the airspeed indicator.

52
Q

Calibrated airspeed

A

Indicated airspeed corrected for installation and position error.

53
Q

True airspeed

A

calibrated airspeed corrected for nonstandard temperature and pressure.

54
Q

What instruments contain gyroscopes?

A

turn coordinator, heading indicator, and attitude indicator.
