45
What is a stall
When the airplane extended the critical angle of attack
46
When can a stall occur
It can occur at any airspeed or attitude
47
What is a spin
Uncoordinated stall When one wing is more stalled a than the other

Caused by extending the angle of attack and having uncoordinated flight
49
How to recover from a spin
REAP - rudder full opposite - elevator forward - Ailerons neutral - power idle
50
What is a METAR
Meteorological aerodrome report
51
How often are METARs updated

52
What is a TAF
Terminal aerodrome forecast
53
How long are TAFs valid for
- Forecast valid for 24hours - updated every 6 hours
54
Determine crosswind
Clock method - take the difference between wind direction and runway heading - change degrees into minutes - determine how far those miniature go around the clock -convert to % of one hour - take that percent and multiply by the total wind component, you now have your cross wind component Example - - Runway 15, wind 180 @ 16 knots - 30 degrees off runway heading = 30 minutes - 30 minutes = half way around the clock (50%) - 50% of 16 knots is 8 knots of crosswind
55
Runway incursion avoidance
An incident where an unauthorized aircraft, vehicle, or person is on a runway protected area
56
How to prevent runway incursions
- Have taxi diagram out and available - brief hotspots - read back full instructions - sterile cockpit - know what all the airport markings mean
57
What is wind shear
A sudden change in wind speed or direction
58
How to avoid wake turbulence for taking off
Takeoff before the other aircraft and stay above them
59
How to avoid wake turbulence for landing
Stay above and land beyond the aircraft
60
Lost communication procedures
When lost coms is suspected A- troubleshoot * check if radio is on * check volume and squelch * check headset plug connection * check frequency * request radio check B- in controlled airspace squawk 7600 * landing at a towards airport * stay above traffic pattern altitude and observe the traffic flow * wait for ATC light gun signals
61
3 ways to enter a traffic pattern
- 45 degree angle Enter the downwind - teardrop - cross midfield into downwind
62
Steady green light
Ground- cleared for takeoff Air- cleared to land
63
Flashing green light
Ground- cleared for taxi Air- return for landing
64
Steady red
Ground - STOP air - give way to other aircraft and continue circling
65
Flashing red
Ground- taxi clear of runway in use Air- airport unsafe, do not land
66
Flashing white
Ground- return to staring point on airport Air - N/A
67
Alternating green and red lights
Ground- exercise extreme caution Air- exercise extreme caution
