WX & Atmosphere
How High above yellow terrain should you remain.
1000ft
Why does stall speed increase with bank angle.
load factor, increase in back pressure closer to critical AOA
Why do we use fuel pumps during landing?
To ensure constant fuel pressure to the engine.
What is CFR 119.1(e)?
Its exemptions for a commercial pilot so they could get paid without needing to be common or private carriage.
Such as:
Aerial photography/survey
Crop dusting
ferry flights
Aircraft Sales demos
Ground Instructions (CFI)
When can the ELT be tested?
what would a convective sigment signify? (7)
1. Squall lines
2. embedded thunderstorm
3. Convective turbulence
4. Hail 3/4 inch or greater
5. Heavy precip. effecting 40% or more of 3000 sq mile area.
6. surface winds greater then 50 kts
7. tornadoes
At sea level, if the temperature is 20 Celsius. if available power only got up to 95% can you still fly
No. refer to AFM 4A-24.
you switch the fuel valve to emergency with 15 gallons left in the right tank. Approximately how much time do you have left in flight?
About 20 minutes
What is the difference between Common Carriage and Private Carriage?
Common Carriage -> Holding out in willing to carry passengers or property from place to place for compensation or hire.
Private Carriage -> Carry passengers or property from place to place for compensation or hire.
what is basic med?
who can get it?
how do you keep it?
limitations for basic med?
A government program for people that don't want a medical.
Anybody that's never had there medical revoked or suspended after July 14, 2006.
You need to complete the online FAA approved Basic Med course every 24 calendar months and get a physical exam from a state-licensed physician (Comprehensive Medical Examination (CME)) every 48 calendar months.
Limitations:
Speed Limit- 250kts
Max Altitude- 18,000 MSL
No flying for compensation or hire
Max Occupants- 6 passengers
Max Gross Weight- 6,000 lbs
How does moisture affect Stability?
Moist air -> Less Stable
Dry air -> More Stable
you have an aft CG that is within the Envelope, for a Da40NG. does this mean the weight is in front of or behind the wings?
In front of the wings.
most rearward CG limit is 99.6
Where is the VHF receiver located on the DA-40 NG?
The leading edge of the vertical stabilizer.
Your Uncle comes up to you to fly him to Georgia, he has a cirrus jet, you make a verbal agreement. Can you take him?
Yes, you can because it would be private carriage. (Dry Lease)
but you'd need a type certificate for the turbine.
Supplemental oxygen Requirements up to 15,000ft msl.
12,500-Pilot & crew after 30 min.
14,000- Pilot & crew immediately.
15,000- Everyone, pax must be provided.
Using Temp & Dew point, how can you find cloud base?
Temp - Dewpoint = temp dewpoint spread/ 4.4= Answer x 1000= Cloud base
Why does High density altitude effect performance.
Air is less dense, less air through prop, less thrust produced, less air over/under wings, less lift.
This is due to our planes having two ECU's. We would still have ECU B which is connected to our ECU bus and also We would still have our ECU Backup batteries.
Your GF wants you to fly her to a concert in Savanna Georgia (SAV), she has two tickets and she is not paying you. Can you go?
no, compensation, no common purpose.
You're on Basic Med flying a ferry flight and accept gas money afterward. Is this a Problem?
Yes it is a problem because Basic Med prohibits you to carry passengers or property for compensation or hire.
Why is high density altitude dangerous?
Reduced:
Engine performance
Prop efficiency
lift
What is the weight shift formula?
Weight Shifted x Distance Shifted/ Total wight = change in CG
Explain the operation of the thermostatic value.
Pressure from the coolant pushes on a stopper with a spring behind it, opening and closing the different circuits
Your cousin comes up to you because he heard from your brother that you are a commercial pilot. He says he will pay you $400 to take him from Myrtle Beach to California. Can you take him? You have the plane
No, because that would be considered Common Carriage and you would need to have an operational Certificate.
Holding out- Advertising
Willing to carry anybody
Who has operational control at an operation with a p.119 certificate? (This is an individual with specific title)
Director of Operations
(usually delegated to an SOC)
