Aeronautical Decesion Making
What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as “Resignation”?
I am not helpless.
All operations within Class C airspace must be in…
an aircraft equipped with a transponder with automatic altitude reporting capability.
The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during nighttime hours is to use…
peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off-center viewing.
What is the first action with an engine failure?
Pitch and trim for best glide
(aviate)
If you have a broken magneto ground wire, what may happen?
The magnetos will continue to fire after the key is turned off or taken out
What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as “Macho”?
Taking chances is foolish.
Which initial action should a pilot take prior to entering Class C airspace?
Contact approach control on the appropriate frequency.
Wingtip vortices created by large aircraft tend to…
(how do they move)
sink below the aircraft generating turbulence.
When emergency landing, what speed should you land at?
slowest controllable speed possible
If your electrical system fails, what will not work? What will continue to work?
Your aviaonics systems won’t work, your radios may not work, but your engine will continue to fire.
(Bonus points if you can say why the engine would continue to fire)
In the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process, what is the first step in neutralizing a hazardous attitude?
Recognizing hazardous thoughts.
The lateral dimensions of Class D airspace are based on
the instrument procedures for which the controlled airspace is established.
A flight takes the pilot in the path of a large aircraft. In order to avoid the vortices the pilot should fly…
(in relation to the large aircraft)
above the flight path of the large aircraft.
What is one thing you should always try to do when conducting an Emergency landing?
(relating to outside weather)
Land into the wind
If your pitot tube is clogged, what instrument(s) won’t work?
Your airspeed indicator will not work.
(bonus points if you can say what systems allow the airspeed indicator to work)
One purpose of crew resource management (CRM) is to give crews tools to
Recognize and mitigate hazards
What minimum radio equipment is required for operation within Class C airspace?
Two-way radio communications equipment, a 4096-code transponder, an encoding altimeter, and ADS-B Out equipment.
When landing behind a large aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by staying
(in relation to the other aircraft)
above the large aircraft’s final approach path and landing beyond the large aircraft’s touchdown point.
What should you always judge terrain for when doing an emergency landing?
it’s ability to absorb energy
If your static port is clogged, what instrument(s) will not work?
Altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator.
Who is responsible for determining whether a pilot is fit to fly for a particular flight, even though he or she holds a current medical certificate?
The Pilot
With certain exceptions, all aircraft within 30 miles of a Class B primary airport from the surface upward to 10,000 feet MSL must be equipped with
an operable transponder having either Mode S or 4096-code capability with Mode C automatic altitude reporting capability.
The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft Is…………
heavy, clean, and slow.
What should you be observant about emergency landing on roads?
Power poles.
What does carb heat do?
It sends the cold intake air closer to the exhaust manifold, heating it and allowing warm air to go through the carb.
This combats carb freezing.
