FAR/AIM
What is the maximum speed permitted below 10,000 MSL according to the FARs
What is 250 knots
What airspeed deviation must you report to ATC when on an IFR flight plan?
What is 10 knots or 5% of filed airspeed
What is he color of standard runway edge lighting?
What is white.
This airspace requires two-way communications and Mode C but no clearance to enter?
What is Class C
This aerodynamic force opposes thrust
What is drag.
What are the required fuel reserves according to the 3710?
What are 45 minutes of flight time after reaching alternate or 10% more than that required to reach alternate via destination.
What is the maximum altitude devation allowed under IFR flight?
300 feet
When must you hold short of an ILS critical area?
What is:
1. When instructed by ATC
2. Weather is below 800'/2 miles and aircraft on final approach at non-towered airport
This form of icing occurs when supercooled water droplets freeze instantly on impact, creating a rough, milky, opaque layer
What is rime ice
These are greatest when an aircraft is heavy, clean, and slow
What are wing-tip vortices
What is the minimum altitude a pilot must maintain over a congested area except for takeoff/landing
What is 1,000 ft above the highest obstacle within 2,000'
When are you not required to complete a procedure turn/holding in lieu of (HILO) portion of an approach?
What are:
Straight In
"No PT"
Established in Hold
Radar Vectors to Final
Timed Approach
These lights are located on precision runways and delineate the optimal landing position.
What are touchdown zone lights.
This FAA weather advisory indicates potentially hazardous icing conditions not severe enough for a SIGMET
What is the AIRMET Zulu
This effect is due to the air that is trapped between the wing and the landing surface, as if there were an air cushion
This must be stated by ATC in order to meet all published altitudes on a STAR/SID
Descend/Climb Via
What is the minimum climb gradient required on departure according to the FAR/AIM?
What is 200 ft/nm
These lights alternate green and yellow when exiting a runway and all yellow when approaching a runway.
What are taxiway centerline lights.
These minimums are required when your destination weather is unavailable or forecasted to be below approach minimums 1+/- hour of your arrival time.
What is 2000' or 400' above lowest compatible approach minimum
3 SM visibility
This refers to the initial tendency, or direction of movement, back to equilibrium.
What is static stability
This is the order of precedence for routing during a lost communications scenario
What is:
1. Assigned route
2. Vectored
3. Expected
4. Filed
What are the requirements to continue an instrument approach below minimums:
What are:
1. Continuous position for landing
2. Sufficient Flight Visibility
3. Runway Environment in Sight
The total distance of obstacle clearance from runway threshold provided by a PAPI
what is 3.4 miles
One in-flight condition necessary for structural icing to form is?
what is visible moisture
This force occurs when an aircraft is flying with a high AOA, the “bite” of the downward moving blade is greater than the “bite” of the upward moving blade. This moves the center of thrust to the right of the prop disc area, causing a yawing moment toward the left around the vertical axis
What is P-Factor
