Nno should NEVER be entered deliberately during normal operation, not even during descent because of unexpected gust loads.
47
Vne
Never exceed, or max permissible dive speed. Max speed at which airplancan be sefealy operated in smooth air. A higher speed may result in structureal failure, flutter, or loss of control.

If the wind is 30° off the runway, your crosswind component is roughly:
If the wind is 45° off the runway, your crosswind component is roughly:
30° is 50% of the wind speed.

64
Runway Illusion: Upslope Runways
Runway presents a "taller image", Pilot perceives approach as High, Tendancy to hit terrain.
65
Runway Illusion: Downslope Runways
Runway presents a "shorter image", tendency to fly an approach too high and flare too early/high.
66
Runway Illusion: up/downslope terrain **prior to runway**
CARD IS UNVERIFIED; REVIEW WITH AL
* When there is a downslope prior to the runway, the runway presents a "taller image", Pilot perceives approach as High, Tendancy to hit terrain.
* When there is an upslope prior to the runway, the runway presents a "shorter image", tendency to fly an approach too high and flare too early/high.
67
Illusion: Black Holes
Created by:
* Flying to a runway surrounded by unlighted terrain
* Pilots may overestimate alitude
Try to:
* Use the PAPIs
68
Illusion: False Horizon
Created by:
* Sloping cloud layers
* Ground lights confused with stars
* Receding shoreline
69
Illusion: Vectional Illusion
Illusion of false movement.
Created by:
* Moving grass or blowing snow
* In IMC, rain running down the windscreen
70
Illusion: Flying in Rain
**Can Cause**
1. **Poor visibility**
2. **Refraction Error**: will bend the light, and causes pilots to think the runway and terrain are lower than they are (**you think you're higher than you really are**)
**Refraction Error**
* Reduced Transparency - upper part of the windshield is brighter than the lower part, drawing the eye down, and gives the pilot the sense that the horizon is lower than actual
* Shape and pattern of ripples on the windscreen makes you feel you're higher than you really are.
* You can get up to a 5 degree error, which is a lot!
71
Illusion: Runway Narrower than Usual
Will feel like you're too high, and you'll flare late
72
Illusion: Runway Wider than Usual
Will feel like you're too low, and you'll flare early
73
For VFR Over the Top, what are the rules?
All minimas below:

* You must use the worst forecast moment.
Cruise Portion of Flight
* You must operate 1000 above the cloud deck
* Min flight visibility is 5 SM
* Where you are operating between 2 cloud layers, vertical difference between the layers must be at least 5000ft
Destination Weather

What is the load factor increase in a 60° bank turn?

radio **this is…'**
91
What is the difference between Static Stability, and Dynamic Stability?
Static stability has been defined as the initial tendency to return to equilibrium that the aircraft displays after being disturbed from its trimmed condition.
Occasionally, the initial tendency is different or opposite from the overall tendency, so a distinction must be made between the two.
Dynamic stability refers to the aircraft's response over time when disturbed from a given AOA, slip, or bank.

When it comes to Mixture Control, what will be the Best Economy setting for the aircraft?
Peak EGT
93
Agonic vs Isogonic
In each hemisphere there will be places where the north pole and the north magnetic pole will lie in the same straight line. These places, therefore, have no magnetic variation. **Lines drawn through places with no variation are called agonic lines. Like isogonic lines, they also twist and bend due to the local magnetic fields in the earth.**
94
“Day” in Canada is defined as that period of time between
the beginning of morning civil twilight and the end of evening civil twilight.
