What is the flow to determine if a piece of equipment is needed for flight?
91.213
Does the Archer have a MEL? NO
Is the aircraft type certificated with certain instruments required as part of the type certificate? NO
Does the POH or KOEL (kinds of equipment list) have a required equipment list and is it on there?
Required by 91.205?
Required by AD? check airplane logbook or FAA website
Preflight the plane.
Required equipment for Class B Airspace?
- 2 way radio
- transponder
- alt reporting equipment
- ADS-B out
In summary, an altitude reporting transponder is a device that transmits altitude information to air traffic control via radar, while ADS-B Out is a newer technology that uses GPS to transmit more detailed information about the aircraft’s position, altitude, and other data directly to other aircraft and to air traffic control. ADS-B Out is part of the FAA’s NextGen air traffic control modernization program, which aims to increase safety and efficiency in the national airspace system.
What does the R mean on VOR frequencys?
It means that the R frequency is to be transmitted on, and the other frequency is to be listened on. Need both radios active.
What are military intercept procedures?
Jet will rock wings, rock back.
follow them.
if at night then flash lights while rocking
if jet peels off hard to the other way, then i am clear to continue.
what is ISA?
International Standard Atmosphere
What is required in class d airspace?
2 way radio
what is the difference between volts and amps?
In the context of the Piper Archer III, volts would be used to describe the electrical potential difference between the aircraft’s electrical system and the ground, or between two different electrical components in the aircraft.
In the context of the Piper Archer III, amps would be used to describe the current flowing through the aircraft’s electrical system, or through a specific component such as a generator or alternator.
What are the visibility requirements for all the Airspace?
Class A: N/A
Class B: 3 SM Visibility, clear of clouds
Class C: 3 SM Visibility 1k above, 2k horizontal, 500 below
Class D: “”
Class E: Less than 10,000 MSL: “”
Above 10,000 MSL: 5 SM Visibility 1k above, 1k below, 1 Mile horizontal
Glass G: Day - 1 SM, clear of clouds
Night - 3 SM, 1k above, 2k horizontal, 500 below
Above 1,200 ft or above 10,000 MSL: 5 SM Visibility, 1k above, 1k below, 1 mile horizontal
what does high and low pressure system tell a pilot
Weather patterns: High pressure systems are typically associated with clear skies and good weather, while low pressure systems can bring storms and turbulence. By monitoring pressure systems, a pilot can anticipate weather changes and adjust flight plans accordingly.
Altitude changes: High pressure systems generally indicate denser air, which can make it easier for a plane to climb to higher altitudes. Conversely, low pressure systems can indicate less dense air, which can make it more difficult for a plane to climb and maintain altitude.
Wind patterns: High and low pressure systems can also affect wind patterns, with high pressure systems often producing more stable and predictable winds, while low pressure systems can produce more turbulent and unpredictable winds. This can impact a pilot’s ability to navigate and control the aircraft.
What could cause high oil pressure?
Blocked or restricted oil passages: If there is a blockage or restriction in the oil passages within the engine, this can cause the oil pressure to build up and exceed the recommended limits.
Faulty oil pressure gauge: In some cases, the oil pressure gauge may be faulty and provide a reading that is higher than the actual oil pressure.
Overfilled oil level: If the oil level in the engine is too high, this can cause the oil pressure to increase beyond the recommended limits.
Defective oil pressure relief valve: The oil pressure relief valve is designed to prevent the oil pressure from exceeding the recommended limits. If this valve is defective or malfunctioning, it can allow the oil pressure to build up and exceed the recommended limits.
Clogged oil filter: If the oil filter becomes clogged, this can restrict the flow of oil and cause the oil pressure to increase beyond the recommended limits.
How can I research the existence of a TFR?
FAA TFR website: The FAA maintains a website that provides real-time information on active TFRs across the United States. You can access the website at https://tfr.faa.gov/.
Flight Service: You can call Flight Service at 1-800-WX-BRIEF to get information on TFRs in your planned route of flight.
Aviation weather websites: Many aviation weather websites, such as aviationweather.gov or ForeFlight, include TFR information and updates as part of their services.
NOTAMs: TFRs are published in the Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) system. You can access NOTAMs online at sites like notams.aim.faa.gov or through your aviation app or software.
Local FBO or airport authority: If you are planning to fly from a specific airport, you can also check with the local Fixed Base Operator (FBO) or airport authority to get information on any TFRs that may be in effect in the area.
What causes carb ice?
occurs when the moisture in the air combines with the cooling effect of the fuel as it passes through the carburetor, causing the formation of ice on the inside of the carburetor.
The most common cause of carburetor icing is the combination of high humidity and temperatures between 20 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit (-6 and 21 degrees Celsius).
High humidity provides more moisture for carburetor icing to occur.
Temperatures between 20 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit: These temperatures are the most conducive to carburetor icing.
Low power settings: When the engine is running at low power settings, the cooling effect of the fuel as it passes through the carburetor is more pronounced, increasing the likelihood of carburetor icing.
Dirty or clogged air filters: A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict the flow of air into the engine, causing the fuel to cool more rapidly as it passes through the carburetor.
What happens if the load meter stops working?
it means I no longer have access to info about the electrical system’s load. not a critical failure, have to rely on battery voltage, and brighness of panel. Need to note it in the aircraft logbook
What is the purpose of circuit breakers in piper archer?
Circuit breakers in Piper Archer protect the electrical system from damage due to overloads or short circuits, preventing electrical fires or equipment damage. They interrupt the flow of electrical current when overcurrent is detected.
Circuit breakers act as automatic switches that open the electrical circuit when they detect an overcurrent condition. When a circuit breaker trips, it interrupts the flow of electrical current and prevents further damage to the electrical system. The pilot can then identify which circuit breaker has tripped and reset it once the underlying problem has been addressed.
What equipment is required in Class C airspace?
2 way-radio and Mode C Transponder
