Comes in Threes
3 things that are needed to create precipitation
Water vapor, lift and growth process
The four forces that affect aircraft
Thrust, weight, lift and drag
Measures slant range distance
Action that should be taken if the pilot cannot/will not accept SID?
Tell the pilot to let us know when he is ready to not be complicated
JK clear them as to filed flight plan to the extent possible or via PDR
Navigation of an airplane solely by means of computations based on airspeed, course, heading, wind direction, speed, GS and elapsed time

The purpose of a TCAS
To prevent mid air collisions
Spatial disorientation is
Loss of bearing, state of mental confusion as to position
