SU 11 Cross-Country Flight Planning Flashcards
(Refer to Figure 51 on page 429.) If more than one cruising altitude is intended, which should be entered in item 15, “Level,” of the flight plan
Initial cruising altitude
(Refer to Figure 51 on page 429.) What information should be entered in item 15, “Level,” for a VFR day flight?
Initial cruising altitude
(Refer to Figure 51 on page 429.) What information should be entered into item 16, “Destination Aerodrome,” for a VFR day flight?
The destination airport identifier code
(Refer to Figure 51on page 429.) What information should be entered in item 19, “Endurance,” for a VFR day flight?
The total amount of usable fuel onboard expressed in hours and minutes
(Refer to Figure 51 on page 431.) What information should be entered in item 16. “Destination Aerodrome,” for a VFR day flight?
The ICAO four-letter indicator of destination airport if no stopover for more than 1 hour is anticipated.
(Refer to Figure 51 on page 431.) What information should be entered in item 19, “Endurance,” for a VFR day flight?
The amount of usable fuel on board expressed in time
(Refer to Figure 51 on page 431.) The international Flight Plan, FAA Form 7233-4, is used
for domestic and international flights under VFR and IFR
(Refer to Figure 51 on page 431.) If you are going to conduct a flight partially under VFR and partially under IFR, you should
file two flight plans, one for each portion of the flight.
How should a VFR flight plan be closed at the completion of the flight at a controlled airport
The pilot must close the flight plan with the nearest FSS or other FAA facility upon landing
During the preflight inspection who is responsible for determining the aircraft as safe for flight?
The pilot in command
Who is primarily responsible for maintaining an aircraft in airworthy condition?
Owner or operator
How should an aircraft preflight inspection be accomplished for the first flight of the day?
Thorough and systematic means recommended by the manufacturer.
Upon encountering severe turbulence, which flight condition should the pilot attempt to maintain?
level flight attitude
The most important rule to remember in the event of a power failure after becoming airborne is to
immediately establish the proper gliding attitude and airspeed
When executing an emergency approach to land in a single-engine airplane, it is important to maintain a constant glide speed because variations in glide speed will
nullify all attempts at accuracy in judgement of gliding distance and landing spot.
VFR approaches to land at night should be accomplished
the same as during daytime
If you experience an engine failure in a single-engine aircraft after takeoff, you should
establish the proper glide attitude
When taxiing with strong quartering tailwinds, which aileron positions should be used?
Aileron down on the side from which the wind is blowing
Which aileron positions should a pilot generally use when taxiing in strong quartering headwinds?
Aileron up on the side from which the wind is blowing
Which wind condition would be most critical when taxiing a nosewheel equipped high-wing airplane
Quartering tailwind
(Refer to Figure 9 on page 435.) (Refer to area A.) How should the flight controls be held while taxiing a tricycle-gear equipped airplane into left quartering headwind?
Left aileron up, elevator neutral
(Refer to Figure 9 below.) (Refer to area C.) How should the flight controls be held while taxiing a tricycle-gear equipped airplane with a left quartering tailwind?
Left aileron down, elevator down
(Refer to Figure 9 below.) (Refer to area B.) How should the flight controls be held while taxiing a tailwheel airplane into a right quartering headwind?
Right aileron up, elevator up.
(Refer to Figure 9 below.) (Refer to area C.) How should the flight controls be held while taxiing a tailwheel airplane with a left quartering tailwind?
Left aileron down, elevator down
The angular difference between true north and magnetic north is
magnetic variation
(Refer to Figure 23 on page 437.) On what course should the VOR receiver (OBS) be set to navigate direct from Hampton Varnville Airport (area 1) to Savannah VORTAC (area 3)?
195 DEG
(Refer to Figure 20 on page 439.) Determine the magnetic course from First Flight Airport (area 5) to Hampton Roads Airport (area 2)
331 DEG
(Refer to Figure 26 on page 441.) Determine the magnetic course from Cooperstown Airport (area 2) to Jamestown Airport (area 4)
210 DEG
