Question

Icing

Answer 1

○ Develops with visible moisture (clouds/freezing rain) when the air is 0°C or less ○ We CANNOT fly into known icing - 91.527 ○ Icing ■ Structural ● Clear - forms when larger water droplets spread and freeze over a surface - most dangerous because hard to see and heavy ● Rime - forms when smaller droplets freeze immediately when contacting aircraft surface, appears milky-white ● Mixed - mix of clear and rime ■ Induction ● Carb ice/induction air icing ■ Instrument ● Pitot-static system

Answer 2

FAR 91.205 and a headset Required equipment as listed in FAR 91.205 (A TOMATO FLAMES) ○ 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

Answer 3

○ Only on Garmin G1000 ■ Standby attitude indicator (vacuum powered)

Answer 4

Components ■ Pitot tube ● Collects data to calculate airspeed ● Ram air is forced into pitot by airplane velocity ● Compares ram air to static air from static port to output dynamic air ● Dynamic air is read by instrument ■ Static port ● Measures ambient air pressure

Answer 5

Uses satellites to triangulate position and altitude in space ■ 24 satellites in constellation ■ 3 satellites required to provide lateral information ■ 4 satellites required to provide altitude information ■ 5 satellites fault detection ■ 6 fault detection exclusion

Answer 6

fault detection ■ 5 satellites required to ensure reliable information is being received ■ With bad satellite information, RAIM will annunciate integrity has been compromised and take that satellite offline

Answer 7

■ Signals from satellites are monitored by ground based stations ■ Ground based stations correct signals for the following errors: ● Clock errors ● Position errors ■ Ground stations send correction data to a master station ■ Master station computes the correction data and prepares a correction message ■ New message is sent to a geostationary satellite (GEO) ■ GEO broadcasts to WAAS receiver on aircraft

Answer 8

○ Short range radio navigation equipment used to determine relative position and bearing from

Answer 9

■ Required every 30 days ● VOR Test Facility (VOT) ○ Frequency 108.0 MHz ○ 0 degrees FROM / 180 degrees TO ● Ground tolerances ○ +- 4 degrees ● Air tolerances ○ +- 6 degrees ● Dual VOR Check ○ +-4 degrees

Answer 10

○ Uses slant range (line of sight) to determine distance ○ Most inaccurate when directly over VOR/DME ■ Negligible for every 1 mile away and 1000’ high

Answer 11

Variation Deviation Magnetic Dip Oscillation Northerly turning errors Acceleration Errors

Answer 12

Isogonic lines on sectional depict difference between true north and magnetic north

Answer 13

Electronic equipment interfere with compass to provide inaccurate readings

Answer 14

As a compass approaches magnetic poles, compass wants to dip towards the ground

Answer 15

Rapid movement turbulence engine

Answer 16

■ Undershoot North ■ Overshoot South ■ A result of magnet dip ● Compass is a magnet, its attracted to and wants to stay with the other magnet (pole) ■ Start rollout at ½ latitude + 15 degrees

Answer 17

■ Accelerate North ■ Decelerate South ■ A result of magnetic dip ● Compass is a magnet, its attracted to and wants to stay with the other magnet (pole)

Answer 18

Land Based Precision Instrument Approach ■ Meaning it provides lateral AND vertical guidance

Answer 19

lined up ● Provides lateral guidance ● Width 5 degrees ● Full deflection to one side is only 2.5 degrees

Answer 20

● Provides vertical guidance ● Angle between 2.5 and 3.5 degrees

Answer 21

● Avionics signal different colors/audible morse codes when passing over ○ Outer ■ Flashing blue ■ Dashes - - - - - ■ Usually 4-7nm from runway threshold ○ Middle ■ Flashing amber ■ Dash dot dash dot - . - . ■ 3500 feet from runway threshold ○ Inner ■ Flashing white light ■ Dots . . . . . ■ Short and high pitched

Answer 22

○ Annual (12 calendar months) ○ VOR Check (30 days) ○ 100 hour (if for hire) ○ Altimeter/Pitot-Static check (24 calendar months) ○ Transponder (24 calendar months) ○ ELT (12 calendar months)

Answer 23

○ VFR Day and night; and ○ Generator/Alternator ○ Radio ○ Altimeter ○ Ball ○ Clock ○ Attitude indicator ○ Rate of turn indicator ○ Directional Gyro

Answer 24

66 HITS In last 6 months, 6 approaches to include: ■ Holds ■ Intercepting ■ Tracking ■ Navigational Systems

Answer 25

6 more months to get current with safety pilot ● Safety pilot must be at least a private pilot and appropriately rated in category/class

Answer 26

Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC) ● Can be done by designated examiner, CFII, or approved person ● Details found in back of ACS

Answer 27

● Actual ○ Be instrument rated, or ○ Accompanied by appropriately rated CFII ● Simulated ○ Safety pilot ■ Appropriately rated in category/class ■ Able to act as PIC ■ Name must be logged in remarks ○ Given instruction by a CFII ● Recency ○ Approach must be conducted under actual IMC conditions until passed the FAF ○ Or under simulated conditions down to minimums

Answer 28

localizer glide slope marker beacons approach lighting system
