Bravo Airspace Radius |
30 NM |
|
Charley Airspace Radius |
Inner Rings: 5NM - SFC-4,000ft 10NM- 1,200ft - 4000ft Outer: 20 NM |
|
Proper visual scanning technique |
3-5 second sections, 10 degrees each, due to size of Fovia in eye |
|
How is delta airspace designated on a sectional chat? |
dotted blue line |
|
When are wingtip vortices most prevalent? |
Slow, clean(no flaps), heavy aircraft Light, quartering tail wind |
|
What is the french word for the tail section of an aircraft |
Empennage |
|
1 Knot = how many ft per min |
100 |
|
1 NM = how many feet? |
6000 |
|
What're the four forces that act upon an airplane? |
Lift Weight Thrust Drag |
|
When is a plane in equilibrium? |
When the four forces equal out in unaccelerated flight. |
|
When is longitudinal stability increased / decreased? |
Center of gravity = moved forward Center of gravity = moved aft |
|
What happens to a plane during ground effect? |
Plane will float due to lower angle of attack, and decreased drag. AOA may not be supported outside of ground effect |
|
What does ICE do to an airplane wing? |
Reduces the Critical AOA |
|
4 Causes of Left Turning Tendency |
Torque - on takeoff P-Factor - during high power, AoA changes on blades. Spiral Slip Stream - Takeoff roll Gyroscopic Precession - anytime engine is running and a pitch is applied |
|
What do the flaps do |
increase angle of descent, without increase in airspeed. Slower landing speed. |
|
What do runway numbers correspond to? |
Magnetic compass headings based on magnetic north, not true north. |
|
What is the angle of attack? |
angle between chord line and relative wind |
|
increase / decrease in power does what to the airplane? |
increase / decrease pitch, by changing airflow over the stabilator. |
|
Who can cancel a land and hold short request |
Not student pilots, only PIC |
|
Steady Green light |
Cleared for takeoff/landing |
|
Flashing green |
cleared to taxi / return for landing, followed by steady green |
|
Steady Red |
Stop /give way to other aircaft |
|
Flashing Red |
Taxi clear of runway in use / In air: Airport unsafe, do not land |
|
Flashing white |
return to starting point at airport / not applicable to air |
|
Alternate green/red |
exercise extreme caution! |
|
Where are G airspace boundaries? |
SFC to 1200, unless Magenta circle
If magenta, SFC to 700. E above this. Class E is everywhere, not really shown accurately on the sectional chart |
|
60 degrees of bank amounts to how many G forces? |
2G's |
|
What happens to the stall speed as the G-Load increases? |
Stall speed increases. More dangerous during heavy G-Loads |
|
What is the equation for calculating V speed? |
