31
Required equipment as listed in FAR 91.205
■ Airspeed indicator ■ Tachometer for each engine ■ Oil pressure gauge ■ Manifold pressure gauge ■ Altimeter ■ Temperature gauge for each liquid cooled engine ■ Oil temperature gauge for each air cooled engine ■ Fuel gauge indicator ■ Landing gear position indicator ■ Anti-collision lights ■ Magnetic direction indicator ■ Emergency locator transmitter ■ Safety belts
32
Inoperative Equipment
1. Minimum equipment list (MEL) 2. POH/KOEL 3. Airworthiness directives (AD) 4. Required equipment (91.205)
33
Preventative Maintenance
A holder of a pilot certificate may perform preventive maintenance Part 43 Appendix A (c)
34
Special Flight Permit
Issued by FSDO (Flight Standards District Office) ● For an aircraft that may not currently meet applicable airworthiness requirements, but is capable of safe flight ● Only for the purpose of flying the aircraft to a point of repairs
35
Stall
When airplane exceeds critical angle of attack ■ Can occur at any airspeed or attitude
36
Spin
An aggravated stall where one wing is more stalled than the other Caused by exceeding critical angle of attack and uncoordinated flight
37
Weather Information METAR
Meteorological Aerodrome Report Current/observed weather updated every 50 minutes past the hour
38
Weather Information TAF
Terminal Aerodrome Forecast Forecast valid 24 hours, updated every 6 hours
39
Weather Information Determining Crosswind/Limitations
Clock Method ■ Take the difference between wind direction and runway heading ■ Change degrees to “minutes” ■ Determine how far those “minutes” go around the clock ■ Convert to % of one hour ■ Take that % and multiply by the total wind component, you now have your crosswind component! ● Example: Runway 15, wind 180 @ 16 knots ● 30 degrees off runway heading = 30 minutes ● 30 minutes = halfway around the clock (50%) ● 50% of 16k knots is 8 knots crosswind!
40
Runway Incursion
An incident where an unauthorized aircraft, vehicle, or person is on a runway or runway protected area
41
Runway Incursion Avoidance Prevention
○ Have the taxi diagram out and available ■ Brief instructions, hotspots along route ○ Read back instructions in full ○ Write down instructions ○ Practice sterile cockpit ○ Familiarize yourself with the airport layout, markings, and signs ○ When in runup area, tune into tower frequency to gain situational awareness of the runway activities
42
Lost Communication Procedures
Troubleshoot! ■ Check radio on ■ Check volume and squelch ■ Check headset plug connection ■ Check frequency ■ Request radio check ■ Go back to the previous frequency if applicable b. In controlled airspace, squawk 7600 ■ Landing at a towered airport ● Stay above the traffic pattern altitude and circle while observing the traffic flow and looking out for other traffic ● Wait for the ATC light gun signals ●Rock your wings (day) or flash landing light (night) in acknowledgement ● Follow the instructions and land when cleared c. If uncontrolled, land as soon as practicable
43
ATC light gun Green
Ground: cleared for takeoff Air: cleared to land
44
ATC light gun Flashing green
Ground: cleared for taxi Air: return for landing
45
ATC light gun Steady red
Ground: stop Air: give way to other aircraft and continue circling
46
ATC light gun Flashing red
Ground: taxi clear of runway in use Air: airport unsafe do not land
47
ATC light gun Flashing white
Return to starting point on airport
48
ATC light gun Alternating green and red
Exercise extreme caution
49
Wake turbulence
Wake turbulence (wingtip vortices) slowly descend behind the aircraft Up out and around
50
Wake Turbulence Avoidance
On takeoff, rotate prior to where the aircraft ahead rotated On landing, stay above the flight path of the aircraft ahead and land beyond where the aircraft has touched down
51
Wind Shear
● Sudden change in wind speed and/or direction ● Low level wind shear ● Increase the takeoff/approach speed to account for wind shear
52
Describe FROM, BECMG, TEMPO, PROB, on a TAF?
FROM – Rapid change occurring within 1 hour BECMG – Gradual change to take place over the course of 1 hour TEMPO – Between the predicted period, this weather will only occur for less than an hour PROB – number placed afterwards is the probability of the weather forecasted to occur
53
What is the definition of a ceiling?
The height above the ground of a broken or overcast layer
54
What are the right-of-way rules as applied to the different categories of aircraft?
Aircraft in distress have priority over all other aircraft then… Balloons Gliders Aircraft towing other aircraft or refueling in flight Airships Rotorcraft and airplanes
55
Required action for all aircraft confrontations (same category): converging, approaching head-on, overtaking
Converging: Aircraft on the right has the right of way Head on: Both divert to the right Overtaking: Overtake on the right side
56
Minimum safe altitude over congested area of a city?
1000' above highest obstacle within 2000'
57
Minimum safe altitude in areas other than congested areas?
500' above the surface or 500' above any vessel, person
58
What is the maximum airspeed below 10,000’ MSL?
250 kias
59
Runway lights
White lights are runway blue lights taxiway edge lights
60
Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)
Increases capacity of an airport, reduce ground delays
61
LAHSO DECLINE
-If pilot believes safety will be compromised -Can still do a go around -Consider visibility, sun, etc. !!!Student pilot, recreational pilots, and pilots unfamiliar with LAHSO cannot accept LAHSO clearance!!!
62
Strong quartering headwind,
aileron up on wind side (yoke into wind) elevator neutral on tricycle landing gear (up on tail wheel climb into the wind)
63
Strong quartering tailwind
aileron down on wind side (yoke away from wind) elevator down on all aircrafts (push yoke forward) Dive away from the wind
64
Certification of Airmen Airmen are certified by category (overarching classification) of Aircraft
o Airplane classes: ▪ Single engine land ▪ Single engine sea ▪ Multi engine land ▪ Multi engine sea o Glider o Rotorcraft classes ▪ Helicopter ▪ Gyroplane o Lighter than air classes ▪ Airship ▪ Balloon o Powered Lift (Osprey, Harrier) o Powered parachute o Weight-shift control aircraft
65
Certification of Airmen Types of aircraft
Make and model Need type rating for specific aircraft to be PIC: ▪ Gross weight above 12,500 pounds requires check ride in that aircraft. ▪ Turbojet regardless of weight.
66
Aircraft are certified in different Categories/Classes
Normal Utility Aerobatic Other Categories o Restricted o Experimental o Transport o Limited
67
