AERODYNAMICS + FLIGHT CONTROLS
The four forces of flight
What is lift, thrust, weight and drag?
Class of airspace for Phoenix Sky Harbor?
What is class B airspace?
A Cessna 172 and a hot air balloon are on a collision course. Which aircraft has the right-of-way?
What is the hot air balloon?
A way to find your pressure altitude
What is set your altimeter to 29.92 and read indicated altitude, use the formula, use the E6B, or use the chart?
What is stall speed (clean configuration)?
The three axes about which an airplane rotates
What is the Vertical, Longitudinal, and Lateral axis?
Three classes of controlled airspace
What is class A,B,C,D, and/or E?
Duration of a third class medical if under the age of 40
What is 60 calendar months? 5 years is also an adequate answer.
Temperature and pressure on a standard day at sea level
What is 15 degrees Celsius or 59 degrees Fahrenheit, and 29.92 inches of mercury or 1013.2 millibars?
Define the 'Datum Line'.
What is the imaginary line where all arm measurements are made?
Name three of the four left-turning tendencies
What is P-factor, Spiral Slipstream, Torque, and/or Gyroscopic Precession?
The way class D airspace is depicted on a VFR sectional chart
What is blue, dashed lines?
While taking your friend on a fun flight, they become euphoric and have tingling in their extremities (fingers or toes). They are experiencing symptoms of...
What is hypoxia?
Three conditions that directly affect air density
What is atmospheric pressure (PA), temperature, and humidity?
The two loading categories of a Cessna 172's W&B envelope.
What is
Normal 3.8 to -1.52 Gs
Utility 4.4 to -1.76 Gs
Why does our performance increase when we fly close to the ground?
What is the disruption of wingtip vortices?
The cloud clearance and visibility requirements for class E airspace above 10,000 feet MSL. Notes allowed.
What is 5 SM visibility, 1000' above, 1000' below, 1 SM horizontally?
IMSAFE checklist unabbreviated
What is Illness, Medication, Sleep, Alcohol, Fatigue, and Emotion?
Three ways a high density altitude negatively affects our performance
What is less air to push with the propeller, less allowable fuel in the cylinders due to less air density, and a reduction in lift from the wings?
The preferred balance of an airliner. The preferred balance for us
What is AFT C.G for an airliner and FWD C.G for us?
What is adverse yaw and how is it counteracted?
What is the nose's tendency to yaw in the opposite direction of the turn due to the fact that the outside wing produces more lift BUT also more drag than the inside wing? It is counteracted by applying rudder in the direction of the turn, differential ailerons also help.
Class B requirements concerning, clearance, equipment, and pilot certification
What is a specific clearance required '1433F cleared through Bravo via...', Mode C transponder and ADS-B out, and a private pilot or seeking private pilot (student pilot properly endorsed)?
Certifications required on board, concerning the aircraft. Notes allowed.
What is SPARROW
Supplements, Placards, Airworthiness certificate, Registration certificate, Radio operators license (international), pilot's Operating handbook (POH or AFM), Weight and balance?
Using the formula ONLY, determine the Pressure Altitude and Density Altitude. Notes are allowed.
Field elevation: 8000' MSL
Current altimeter setting: 30.14
Outside air temperature: 9 degrees Celsius
What is
PA = 7780'
DA = 8980'
Using the takeoff data chart, give the required ground roll at FFZ (1243' field elev.), at 2000 lbs, std. temps, and with 20kts of headwind.
What is ~ 482.5' ground roll?
435 + 530 = 965
965/2 = 482.5'
