14 CFR 61.56, 61.57 within the preceding toy for months accomplished a flight review giving an aircraft for which the pilot is rated by an authorized instructor and received a logbook endorsements verifying that the person has satisfactory completed the review to carry passengers a pilot must have made within the preceding 90 days three takeoffs and landings as a sole manipular of flight controls of the aircraft of the same category and class and if a type rating is required of the same type if the aircraft is a tailwheel airplane The landings must be made to a. In an airplane with a tailwheel if operations are to be conducted during the. Beginning 1 hour past sunset and 1 hour before sunrise with passengers on board the p i c must have, within the preceding 90 days, made at least three takeoff and 3 landings to a full stop during that period in the aircraft for the same category, class, and type if type is required, of aircraft to be used takeoffs and landings required by this regulation may be accomplished in a flight simulator or flight training device that is approved by the administrator and use in accordance with an approved course conducted by certified training center |
|
|
You have not kept up with logging each of your recent flights are you in violation of any regulation |
no you're only require to document and record the training and aeronautical experience used to meet the requirements for a certificate, rating, or flight review, and the aeronautical experience required for meeting the recent flight experience requirements |
|

Explain the difference between being current and being proficient |
Being current means of the pilot has accomplished to minimum FAA regulatory requirements within a specific time period So he or she can exercise the privileges of their certificate it means that you're legal to make a flight but I'm not necessarily means that you are proficient or competen to make that flight being proficient means that a pilot is capable of conducting a flight with a high degree of competence it requires at the pilot must have a wide range of knowledge and skillsbeing proficient is not about just being legal in terms of regulations but it's about being smart and safe in terms of pilot experience and proficiency |
|
|
How will establishing personal minimums checklist reduce risk |
professional pilots live by the numbers and should you pre-establish numbers can make it a lot easier to come to a smart go/no-go or diversion decision, then would the vague sense that you can probably deal with the conditions you face at any given time. A written set of personal minimums makes it easier to explain tough cancellations or diversion decisions to passengers who are, after all, trusting their lives to your aeronautical skill and judgment |
|
|
the airplane you normally rent has been grounded due to an intermittent electrical problem you ask to be scheduled another airplane during pre-flight of the new airplane you discover that it has avionics you're unfamiliar with should you go ahead and depart on your VFR flight |
Pilot familiarity with all equipment is critical in optimizing both safety and efficiency if a pilot is unfamiliar with any aircraft system this will add to workload and can contribute to loss of situational awareness this level of proficiency is critical and should be looked upon as a requirement not unlike carrying an adequate supply of fuel as a result pilot should not look upon unfamiliarity with aircraft and its system as a risk control measure but instead as a hazard with high risk potential discipline is key to success |
|
|
if a pilot changes his her permanent mailing address and fails to notify the FAA airmen certification branch of the new address how long may the pilot continue to exercise their privileges of his or her pilot certificate |
30 days after the date of the move |

Aircraft owners must have a current airworthiness certificate and aircraft registration in the aircraft maintain the aircraft and are worthy condition including compliance with all applicable airworthiness directives Ensure maintenance is properly recorded Keep abreast of current regulations concerning the operations of that aircraft Notify the FAA civil aviation registry immediately of any change of permanent mailing address or of the sale or export of the aircraft or of the loss of citizenship have a current FCC radio station license if equipped with radios including emergency locator transmitter elt if operated outside of the United States |
|
|
What are airworthiness directives |
an airworthiness directive a d is the medium by which the FAA notifies aircraft owners and other potentially interestedpersons of unsafe conditions that may exist because of the design defect maintenance or other causes and specifies that conditions under which the product may continue to be operated. Ads are regulatory in nature and compliance is mandatory.it is the aircraft owners or operators responsibility to ensure compliance with all pertinent ADs |
|
|
What are the two types of ADs |
ads are divided into two categories those of an emergency nature requiring immediate compliance prior to further flight in those of the less urgent nature requires complies within a specific period of time |
|

an emergency AD is issued when an unsafe condition exists that requires immediate action by an owner operator the intent of the emergency AD is too rapidly correct an urgent safety to flight situation. all known owners and operators of affected u.s. registered aircraft or those aircraft that have an affected product install will be sent a copy of an emergency AD |

|
|
What is a supplemental type certificate |
A supplemental type certificate STC is the FAA approval of a major change in the type design of a previous approved type certificated product the certificate authorizes and alteration to an airframe, engine, or component that has been granted an approval type certificatesometimes alterations are made that are not specific or authorized in the tcds when that condition exists in STC will be issuedstc's are considered a part of the permanent record of an aircraft and should be maintained as part of that aircraft logs |
