Private
This force is created by the dynamic reaction of the air interacting with the airfoil, acting perpendicular to the relative wind
what is lift
The amount of medical certificates there are.
What is 3?
A Commercial Pilots License allow you to.
What is fly for pay?
The highest level of aircraft pilot certification issued by the FAA.
What is an ATP?
This set of rules allows a pilot to navigate visually by outside references rather than solely by instruments.
What is VFR (Visual Flight Rules)?
The critical angle of attack is the specific angle at which this aerodynamic event always occurs, regardless of airspeed or altitude.
what is a stall
First Class, Second Class, Third Class.
What is Medical Certificates?
According to the FFA what is the minimum age to get a CPL?
What is 18?
Total flight hours needed before getting ATP.
What is 1500 hours?
This meteorological phenomenon provides a primary source of lift for glider pilots to gain altitude after release, often found near cumulus clouds or mountain ridges.
What is thermal lift (or ridge lift)?
This type of drag is a byproduct of lift production and decreases as the aircraft's airspeed increases.
What is induced drag?
The class of airspace that explicitly requires an IFR flight plan and an instrument rating to enter, spanning from 18,000 feet MSL up to Flight Level 600.
What is Class A airspace?
How many flight hours are you required to have to get a CPL?
What is 250 hours?
You must be at least what age for a student pilot certificate?
What is 16 years old?
To fly a recreational cross-country flight under VFR, this is the minimum daytime visibility required in Class G airspace below 10,000 feet MSL.
What is one statute mile?
This aerodynamic phenomenon occurs when flying within one wingspan of the ground, causing a reduction in induced drag and an increase in lift.
What is ground effect?
At age 42, this medical certificate lasts for 6 calendar months?
What is First Class?
What class medical are you required to have in order to get a CPL?
What is 2nd Class Medical?
This medical certificate is the minimum level for a student pilot.
What is Third Class medical?
This turbulent, hazardous phenomenon is created by the wingtip vortices of large aircraft, requiring smaller recreational aircraft to adjust their landing path.
What is wake turbulence?
This left-turning tendency is caused by the high velocity of air pushed backward by the propeller spinning around the fuselage, striking the left side of the vertical stabilizer.
What is spiraling slipstream
The acronym used for instrument flight rating.
What is GRABCARD?
Where was the first commercial airline flight taken?
What is Florida?
This specific rule mandates that commercial air carriers operate under two distinct pilot-in-command qualification tracks once reaching 1,500 hours.
What is the 1,500-hour rule?
If an in-flight radio failure occurs while operating VFR, this standard emergency transponder code should be squawked.
What is 7600?
