maintenance logbook entry requirements
All pilots who perform preventive maintenance must make an entry in the aircraft maintenance logs, the entry must include: Description of work Date of Completion Pilot's Name Signature Certificate Number Type of Certificate the Pilot Holds
26
Can you fly beyond Time Between Overhaul (TBO)
Yes
27
Why should you not fly beyond TBO
Overhaul will ensure safety and reliability Overhaul at TBO is less expensive than an engine engine run for 200+ hours more Running engine past TBO accelerates wear of the engine
28
What is the movement of High Pressure and Low Pressure air
High Pressure air moves (Inward, Upward, and clockwise) Low Pressure air moves (outward, downward, and counterclockwise)
29
What weather is characterized by High Pressure and Low Pressure
High Pressure is characterized by rising air "which creates cloudiness", Precipitation, and bad weather. Low Pressure is characterized by Dissipation of cloudiness and good weather
30
How do Cold Fronts, Occluded Fronts, Warm Fronts, and Stationary Fronts occur
Cold Front occur when a Cold air mass replaces a Warm air mass Occluded Front is when a Cold Front or Warm Front is occurring and a cold air mass is added, it's a double front Warm front occurs when a warm air mass blankets a cold air mass Stationary Front is when two air masses are not strong enough to overcome each other and are held in place by each other
31
Weather characterized by Cold Fronts and Warm Fronts
Cold Front are characterized by towering cumulus or cumulonimbus, heavy rain (sometimes lighting/thunder), hail, possibly tornadoes, poor visibility, variable/gusting winds, temperature/dewpoint and barometric pressure drop rapidly Warm front are characterized by stratiform clouds, drizzle, low ceilings, poor visibility, variable winds, and rise in temperature
32
Trough Explained
Trough is when Low Pressure collides together at the surface and when surrounded by a higher pressure, the low pressure can't go against the high pressure and it can't go downward due to the surface, so it goes upward.
33
Ridge explained
Ridge is when Low Pressure collides together over a open ridge or canyon and descends downward
34
Coriolis Effect explained
Is caused by the rotation of the earth it deflects winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and Left in the Southern, near the equator there is little to no deflection. The effect is moving in a straight line is curved across a spherical mass, the curve is caused by different speeds of rotation around different areas around a sphere.
35
Surface Friction against Coriolis Effect Explained
Near the surface, friction reduces the wind speed, which reduces the Coriolis force. The weaker Coriolis force no longer balances the pressure gradient force and so the wind blows across the isobars toward lower pressure.
36
Dewpoint Defined
The temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated
37
What weather occurs when Temperature/Dewpoint are closer together
Visible moisture "Clouds", dew, or fog.
38
What determines the type of clouds that form and vertical extent of clouds that form.
Stability of atmosphere
39
If you encounter icing, which actions must be taken
Leave the area of visible moisture
40
Temperature Inversion Defined and Ground Based Temperature Inversions characteristics
Temperature inversions are increase in temperature with height. Ground based temperature inversions characteristics are poor visibility by trapping of air particles and Stable air.
41
How does fog form
When temperature and Dewpoint become near identical or identical, near the surface.
42
Types of Fog
Radiation fog Advection fog Upslope fog Frontal Fog Steam Fog Ice Fog
43
What is Radiation Fog
When the ground cools the adjacent air to the dewpoint
44
Types of weather information that help you spot Wind Shear
Terminal Forecasts METARs Severe Weather Watch Reports, SIGMETs, and Convective SIGMETs Low Level Wind shear alert System PIREP
45
Flight Information Service Broadcast Described

AIRMETs advises of weather that maybe hazardous they are issued every 6 hours The three types of AIRMETs are: Tango issued for turbulence Sierra issued for visbility Zulu issued for icing
55
What information can be obtained from Winds and Temperatures aloft forecasts
Favorable Altitudes, Temperature Inversions, and Turbulence
56
What are Center Weather Advisories (CWA)?
Warning of adverse weather conditions in the enroute or terminal environment, they are valid for only 2 hours.
57
Surface Analysis Chart Defined

66
What effect does torque reaction have on an airplane on the ground and in flight
In Flight - Torque reaction is acting around the longitudinal axis, tends to make aircraft roll on the Ground - Torque reaction is acting on the vertical axis, tends to make aircraft yaw
