Airspace
This type of airspace surrounds the nation's busiest airports, requires an ATC clearance to enter, and typically goes up to 10,000 feet MSL.
What is class B Airspace?
This horizontally opposed, air-cooled engine powers the Cessna 172M.
What is Lycoming O-320-E2D?
According to FAR 61.3, you must carry these three documents when acting as PIC of an aircraft.
What is your pilot certificate, medical, and government issued ID
What is lift?
What are cumulonimbus clouds?
You are flying VFR in Class E airspace above 10,000 feet MSL. These are the weather minimums requirements you must maintain.
What is 5 111
The 172M uses two of these to provide engine ignition, allowing continued operation even if one fails.
What are magnetos?
Per FAR 61,23, a Private Pilot under the age of 40 must renew this required document every 60 calendar months.
What is a third class medical?
The angle at which the wing stalls regardless of airspeed is called this.
What is the critical angle of attack?
This report provides current weather conditions at an airport, contrast this weather report provides the forecast.
What is a METAR and TAF?
Class D airspace normally extends from the surface up to 2,500 feet AGL, and you may enter it when this specific requirement is met.
What is 2-way radio communication?
This system uses static/ram air pressure to give the pilot indicated airspeed, altitude, and VSI
What is the pitot-static system?
Required equipment for both VFR day and night (Psst 91.205 B and C)
Atomatoflames & FLAPS
This type of drag is caused by the production of lift and is inversely proportional to airspeed.
What is induced drag?
This type of front occurs when a cold air mass overtakes a warm air mass, often producing turbulent conditions.
Defined by a solid black line on a sectional chart participating pilots can receive additional radar services providing separation between VFR and IFR traffic.
What is a TRSA?
Fuel from both wing tanks feeds the engine through this primary component that mixes fuel with incoming air before entering the cylinders.
What is the carburetor?
Per FAR 91.211, supplemental oxygen is required for the required crew after 30 minutes above this cabin altitude.
What is 12,500 feet MSL?
This phenomenon occurs when the airplane's tailplane stalls, usually after a wing stall, causing a sudden nose-down pitch.
What is a secondary stall?
This phenomenon occurs when a layer of warm air traps cooler air below, leading to poor visibility and potential icing.
What is a temperature inversion?
This type of airspace begins at 14,500 feet MSL unless otherwise depicted.
What is class E and G?
During an electrical failure in the Cessna 172M, these instruments are the only gyroscopic instruments that will continue to function normally
What is the attitude indicator and heading indicator?
This is the maximum time you may go without a flight review.
What is 24 calendar months?
This effect causes the airplane to yaw opposite the turn due to differential lift on the wings.
What is adverse yaw?
This type of cloud forms when stable air is forced over a mountain and can cause severe turbulence.
What are lenticular clouds?
