Most likely to occur whentemperatures are below 70 degrees Fahrenheit and the relative humidity is above 80 percent.
What is carburetor ice?
One of the best ways single pilots can mitigate risk is to use this checklist to determine physical and mental readiness for flying
What is IMSAFE checklist?

What is the Troposphere?
Which section of the Federal Aviation Regulations cover General Operating and Flight Rules?
What is Part 91?

What is the Chord Line?
Filtered air flows into the carburetor and through a narrow throat in the the carburetor, also known as…
What is a venturi?
One symptom of hypoxia, associated with blueing of the fingernails or lips.
What is cyanosis?
When the temperature of the air rises with altitude.
What is a temperature inversion?
Consists of a minimum of 1 hour of flight training and 1 hour of ground training every 24 calendar months.
What is a flight review?
When an aircraft is flying at a positive (or increased) angle of attack, the displacement of the downward moving blade is greater than the displacement of the upward moving blade.
What is P-Factor?
The ground wire between the magneto and the ignition switch. If this becomes disconnected or broken, the engine could accidentally start.
What is a P-Lead?
When oxygen-rich blood is not moving in the lungs, for one reason or another, to the tissues that need it.
What is stagnant hypoxia?
Valid for 24-30 hours and updated four times a day, these have a radius of five statute miles around an airport.
What is a TAF?
According to AIM 7-1-24, microburst downdrafts can be as strong as ___________?
Parasite Drag is a combination of form drag, skin friction drag and which other type of drag?
What is Interference Drag?
This produces sufficient current to operate the entire electrical system throughout a wide range of engine speeds.
What is an Alternator?
The most common illusion during flight is caused by a sudden return to level flight following a gradual and prolonged turn that went unnoticed by the pilot.
What is the leans?
Moving at around 10-25 mph, these advance slowly and replace the air in front of it.
What is a warm front?
What are the basic VFR minimums for Class G airspace during the day, above 1,200 feet AGL, but below 10,000 feet MSL?
What is 1sm visibility with 1,000 feet above, 500 feet below and 2,000 feet horizontally?
Refers to how the aircraft will respond to a disturbance over time.
What is Dynamic Stability?
Begins when the fuel-air mixture is ignited. This causes a tremendous pressure increase in the cylinder and forces the piston downward away from the cylinder head, creating the power that turns the crankshaft.
What is the power stroke?
A condition characterized by a variety of symptoms resulting from exposure to low barometric pressures that cause inert gases, normally dissolved in body fluids and tissues, to come out of physical solution and form bubbles.
What is decompression sickness?
Winds and temperatures aloft forecasts provide wind and temperature forecasts for specific locations throughout the United States. What are the reported winds and temperatures aloft at 30,000 feet given this information: 645842
What is 140 degrees 158 knots at -42 degrees Celsius?
