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?
