This obscuration of visibility is indicated by "DU" on a METAR or TAF.
What is dust.
100
These two main subtypes make up parasite drag.
What are skin friction and form drag.
100
When two aircraft air approaching at or approximately head on, both shall alter heading to this direction.
What is the right.
100
A navigation chart whose scale is 1:500,000.
What is a VNC (VFR Navigational Chart)
100
A hydrocarbon and alkane that possesses minimum detonating qualities
What is Octane
200
This family of cloud is associated with showery-type precipitation (if any precipitation is occuring), turbulence, and good visibility.
What is cumulus, or cumuliform.
200
When two forces are parallel and opposite, this is the state that the aircraft in said to be in.
What is a couple.
200
You are NORDO. While taxiing, you receive this command indicating you must return to your starting position at the aerodrome.
What is a flashing white light.
200
A map projection which depicts a rhumb line as a curved line.
What is Lambert's Conformal Conic Projection.
200
Both intake and exhaust valves are closed, piston begins to move upward.
What is the compression stroke
300
According to Buys Ballot's Law, in the northern hemisphere, if you stand with your front facing the wind, the center of the low pressure system will be on this side of you.
What is the right.
300
Fin like surfaces attached to the upper surfaces of the wings, to provide better stall and slow speed handling.
What are wing fences.
300
If you are approaching a control zone of this class of airspace, you always must establish two way radio communication, however, you do not need an ATC clearance.
What is class D airspace.
300
A hash-marked (or, spiked inward) box on a chart, with the letters CYA (T)(H) inside the box, indicates this class of airspace with these types of activities inside.
What is class F (advisory) airspace, with flight training and hang gliding.
300
Fins, cowl flaps, augmentor tubes, fans, baffles make up part of this SPECIFIC system.
What is an air cooling system.
400
This type of air mass would be associated with the absolute coldest, and driest air on earth.
What is continental arctic (cA).
400
When an airplane is climbing, the downgoing propeller blade meets the relative airflow at a higher attack than the upgoing blade. This tendency produces more lift on one side, causing a turning moment. (the inverse is true during a descent)
What is asymmetric thrust.
400
This includes all airspace over the Canadian land mass, the Canadian arctic, and certain areas over the high seas.
What is Canadian Domestic Airspace.
400
Magnetic Heading: 360 degrees Variation: 10 degrees East Deviation: 5 degrees West True heading: ?
What is 010 Degree, True.
400
You attempt to start your engine in Iqaluit, but you realize your oil pressure is excessively high and your engine will not start. This turns out to be the problem with your oil...
What is a high pour point. (or, not low enough)
500
You are flying over the downsloping side of a hill/mountain. You notice that there was fog over the hill, however, as you fly to where the terrain bottoms out and becomes flat again, you notice that there is no more fog. Assuming you are in uniformly moist air, and there is no significant veering or backing, your groundspeed must be _______ , when compared to your airspeed.
What is lower.
500
The variometer, an alternative instrument to the VSI, measures the rate of change of these two things, in order to produce a positive or negative reading expressed in vertical knots.
What are kinetic and potential energy.
500
Beginning at 700 feet AGL (under which is class G airspace), this area extends up to the overlying controlled airspace, and is found at airports with frequent IFR traffic, designed to increase separation between VFR and IFR aircraft in poor weather conditions.
What is a transition area.
500
Your heading is 270 true, your true airspeed is 50 knots, and you are flying directly into a 60 knot headwind (wind coming from 270 true). Theoretically, your track made good will be in this direction at an groundspeed of this much.
What is 090 true at 10 knots.
500
An engine failure is encountered on a controllable (can be set by the pilot in flight, not to be confused with constant speed propeller) pitch propeller aircraft. This position/setting would be selected in order to minimize drag and maximize gliding distance.
What is the feathered, or full coarse position.
