Weather
The three conditions necessary for the formation of a thunderstorm
Lifting action, moisture, and unstable air
Primary flight controls
Secondary flight controls
Ailerons, Elevator, Rudder
Flaps, trim
Part 119
Outlines the rules for certifying air carriers and commercial operators.
Privileges for a person holding a Commercial pilot certificate may act as PIC of an aircraft:
Carrying persons or property
For compensation or hire
The angle between the chord line and the relative wind
Convective SIGMETs are issued for severe weather and are valid for ____ hours.
2 hours
C172R electrical system
28V system 24V battery 60 amp alternator
5 buses
61.57
PIC recent flight experience
4 conditions for holding out
A willingness
To transport people or property
From place to place
For compensation or hire
Factors affecting stall speed
Weight
CG location
Bank angle/Load factor
Turbulence and surface winds greater than 30kts
Advancing the prop control forward changes the blade pitch to ____ and RPM to ____ on a constant speed propeller
Fine/Low pitch
High RPM
91.103
Preflight action
A pilot who for compensation or hire uses an aircraft to carry passengers or property.
Commercial operator
Describe the relationship between weight and maneuvering speed
Maneuvering speed will decrease as the weight of the aircraft decreases. Va is based on maximum gross weight.
Winds aloft forecasts (FB) are not issued within this altitude band above a reporting station
1,500 feet of station elevation
The primary purpose of cowl flaps is to manage this engine parameter
Cylinder Head Temperature
91.409
Inspections (Annual, 100 hour, Transponder)
Limitations for a person holding a CPL
If no instrument rating, carrying of passengers for compensation or hire at night OR in excess of 50NM is prohibited
Bernoulli's Principle
An increase in the speed of a fluid corresponds to a decrease in its pressure. One of the key theories in how wings produce lift
The difference between an air mass and a front
Air mass is a volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapor content.
A front is the boundary separating two air masses of air
How does the fuel-injected Lycoming IO-360 deliver fuel to the cylinders
91.123
CPL eligibility requirements
Define:
Part 91, 121, 135
91: Regulates general flight operations (non-commercial)
121: Regulates scheduled air carriers
135: Regulates commuter operations and on-demand operations (charters)
Define load factor
Load factor is the load the wings are supporting divided by the weight of the airplane.
