Answer 70

1. Complete an Approach Checklist prior to pattern entry 2. Before Landing Checklist 3. Downwind 1900-2100RPM; 90 KIAS 4. Abeam Touch down Point (or 3nm final): 1500RPM; 10° Flaps; 85 KIAS 5. Base (or 2nm final): 25° Flaps; 80 KIAS 6. Final (or 1nm final): 40° Flaps; 70 KIAS 7. Transition the airplane attitude to ensure a soft touchdown, throttle at or near idle 8. Slowly increase back pressure to full elevator authority (DO NOT tail strike) 9. Maintain back pressure until off “soft” surface

Answer 71

1. Use the attitude indicator to quickly determine whether the airplane is in a nose high or nose low attitude (cross check with altimeter, airspeed, and vertical speed indicators) 2. Recognizing a nose high attitude: nose up pitch on attitude indicator, increasing altitude on altimeter, vertical speed indicator shows climb, decreasing airspeed (possibly approaching a stall) 3. Nose High Recovery: add full power, simultaneously lower the nose to the horizon, level the wings, trim 4. Recognizing a nose low attitude: nose down pitch on attitude indicator, decreasing altitude on altimeter, vertical speed indicator shows descent, increasing airspeed 5. Nose Low Recovery: bring power to idle, level the wings to avoid overstressing the airframe, smoothly bring the nose to the horizon, trim 6. Perform Cruise Checklist when appropriate

Answer 72

Advection Radiation Upslope Precipitation-Induced

Answer 73

moist warm air moves over colder land or water

Answer 74

forms on clear nights with little or no wind and only over land

Answer 75

moist unstable air is cooled as wind pushes it up a slope

Answer 76

warm rain falls through cool air evaporation from the rain saturates the cool air and fog forms
