Flight profile
Once cleared by the tower controller, the pilot enters the runway and the takeoff portion of the flight profile begins
D Take off
An airport with an operating control tower
Controlled Airport
If a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force
First Law of Motion
In this phase the pilot stops before entering the runway
B Taxi phase
An airport without an operating control tower
Uncontrolled Airport
Every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Third Law of Motion
Pilot examines the external parts of the aircraft
A Prep Phase
The pilot uses the instruments to guide flight
IFR (Instrument Flight Rules)
F= m*a
Second Law of Motion
During this period, the air traffic controller may ask the pilot to follow a specific traffic pattern
E Climbing
All movement is done on a “see and be seen” basis
VFR (Visual Flight Rules)
An object with a mass of 2.0 kg accelerates 2.0 m/s2 when an unknown force is applied to it. What is the amount of the force?
If the pilot is approaching a controlled airport, radio contact must be made with the air traffic control tower
G Decent
a passageway between the parking area and the runways of an airport
Taxiway
An object accelerates 3.0 m/s2 when a force of 6.0 newtons is applied to it. What is the mass of the object?
2kg
