How does a high pressure system move?

clockwise, downward, out

100

IFR fuel requirement?

To your destination, to your alternate and 45 minutes thereafter in normal cruise

100

What is the byproduct of lift?

Induced Drag

100

Which NMC CFI on the trip has been cuffed by the cops the most times?

Justin (little known fact, Justin was a police officer in a past life)

200

How does Va change when you burn fuel on a long xc?

Va decreases when weight decreases

200

How much wind does it take to trigger an airmet

30kts sustained 

200

What is the lost com reg and procedure?

91.185

MEA- MEA, Expected, assigned

AVEF- Assigned, vectored, expected, filed

200

What is the flooded start procedure?

Open the throttle to 1/2 or full, when the engine catches, go mixture rich

200

How many couples are on staff at NMC? 

Wouldn't you like to know (2)

300

Why do we turn on the fuel pump in the event of an engine failure?

Incase the engine driven Fp failed

300

What are the different types of icing? Which is the worst and why?

clear, rime, mixed

Clear is the worst because its hard to see, does not freeze on impact, and it is heaviest

300

What does the wx need to be If you used KCAD as your alternate? 

You can use your resources 

800/2 

300

Are there airbags in our C172?

Yes, the seatbelt has an airbag

300

Which NMC CFI is a triplet? 

Rem dawg

400

Why do we recover from a spin with rudder and not aileron?

A spin is an uncoordinated or yawing stall. In order to stop the rotation, we must coordinate the stall. In addition, ailerons in a spin can aggravate the spin

400

How much wind triggers a sigmet?

Sustained surface winds over 50kts

400

What is the VDP?

The first point when you can descend below mins

400

How is lift produced and name the two theories 

Air flowing over the wing creates a low pressure on top of the wing and high pressure under the wing. High pressure wants to go to low which creates a lifting action (Bernoulli)

As air is deflected downward from the underside of a wing and in downwash, the equal and opposite reaction is a lifting force (newtons 3rd law)

400

Which NMC CFI on the trip is the second oldest?

Nolan

500

How could you tell the difference between a graveyard spin and spiral in IMC?

In a spin, your airspeed is constant once the spin is in the developed stage

500

What is the maximum surface and x-wind to fly dual per NMC policy?

30/15

500

When can we descend below the DA/MDA? Name all 14 items. 

1. visibility met

2. Normal descent to land 

3. Something in sight 

-Runway, lights, markings 

-Threshold, lights, markings 

-TDZ, lights, markings 

-REIL

-VGSI 

-ALS (Red terminating bars, descend to 100' above TDZE) 

500

What factors affect stall speed, and how? (4)

Weight increases, SS increases 

LF increases, SS increases

CG moves forward, SS increases

Flaps increase, SS decreases
