|
Seatbelt & Harness Requirements |
Briefing: PIC must instruct passengers Notification: PIC must notify Crew member: PIC must always use belt; harness required during takeoff and landing |
|
Who has right-of-way on final approach? |
Aircraft at lower altitude has the right-of-way (but can't use this to overtake another plane) |
|
What to do if overtaking plane with right-of-way? |
Any plane that is overtaken has the right of way, and you must veer to the right to steer clear |
|
What to do if single-engine plane is converging from the right? Who has right-of -way? |
Plane on right has right of way |
|

|
When should Mode C (Alt) be set? |
- Class A, B, C airspace - Within 30mi of primary airport (Class B) from surface to 10,000' MSL - Above ceiling and within lateral boundaries of Class B & C - Above 10,000' MSL excluding space <2,500' - Class G airspace |
