Theory of Flight
The four forces in flight
What is Thrust, Lift, Drag, and Weight?
The most important component of the atmosphere from a weather standpoint
What is water vapour?
What is Visual Flight Rules?
The difference between True and Magnetic North
What is Variation?
What is Monoque?
Stability about the longitudinal axis
What is Pitch / Lateral Stability?
The composition of the atmosphere
What is made of 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen and 1% Other gases?
The procedure where only left hand turns will be flown at 1000 FT AAE without further instruction in the CFS
What is the standard circuit?
A map where a straight line represents a great circle route
What is the Lambert Conformal Conic projection?
The structure in the wing that prevents torsion
What is a spar?
The design where the up-going aileron travels a greater distance than the down-going aileron to produce more drag
What is Differential Ailerons?
The name for upper portions of atmospheric layers
What is a “pause”?
Airspace that requires a transponder be on board the aircraft and clearance to enter from ATC
What is class C airspace?
The lowest altitude a VFR aircraft could fly to conform with the VFR cruising altitude order, if its true track is 179, its deviation is 2 degrees east, and the variation is 2 degree west
What is 4500 ft ASL?
T V M D C (+W -E)
179 + 2 W = 181 magnetic track
Commonly referred to as Vso
What is the stall speed with landing gear and flaps deployed?
the new stall speed for a plane that normally stalls at 50 KIAS when flying at a 45 degree angle of bank
What is 60 KIAS
(1/cos(45) =1.904
50 x (Square root of 1.904) = 59.46
The direction of the low, when in the northern hemisphere the wind is coming from the East
What is South?
Flight plans OR itinerary’s are required to be filed when flying a certain distance from departure aerodrome
What is 25 nm?
The speed of an aircraft to traveling 250nm in (2+45)
What is 91 KTS?
The instrument that measures the difference between static and pitot pressure
What is the air speed indicator?
The quality of a turn when the the angle of bank is too great for the rate of turn
What is a SLIP?
The height you would expect clouds to form if the temperature at the surface is 17 degrees with a dewpoint of 5 degrees
What is 6000ft?
Lapse rate = 2 degrees/1000ft
(17/0ft) (15/1000ft) (13/2000ft)… (5/6000ft)
The region of Canada where the nearest altimeter setting must be set while flying
What is the altimeter setting region?
A line of zero variation
What is an agonic line?
The errors that must be accounted for the change indicated airspeed to true airspeed
Position Error, Compressibility Error, Density Error
