Aerodynamics
The force that opposes thrust during flight.
What is drag?
Thde device that controls engine power by regulating the air and fuel mixture.
What is the throttle?
The colored circle on a section chart indicating Class C airspace.
What is a solid magenta line?
A lack of oxygen at altitude.
What is hypoxia?
What is 18 years old?
This principle explains lift generated by a pressure difference over and under an airfoil.
What is Bernoulli's Principle
The system that provides electrical power when the engine is running.
What is the alternator?
A navigational aid that transmits radials used for navigation.
What is a VOR
A checklist that assess pilots fitness for a flight.
What is IMSAFE?
The regulation part that governs commercial pilot certification.
What is Part 61?
The point where airflow separates from the wing, resulting in a stall.
what is the critical angle of attack?
A system that retracts or extends to reduce drag and increase lift during takeoff or landing.
What are flaps?
This class of airspace surrounds major airports and requires an ATC clearence to enter.
What is Class B?
The illusion that causes a pilot to feel level during a prolonged turn.
What is the leans?
The minimum visibility requirment for a commercial pilot to fly VFR at night in class G below 1200 feet AGL.
What is 3 statute miles?
The tendency of an aircraft to return to its original flight condition after being distrubed.
What is static stability?
The instrument that displays engine power in inches of mercury for a constant-speed propeller.
What is manifold pressure gauge?
The arc drawn on a sectional chart that connects points of equal magnetic variation.
What is an isogonic line?
The phenomenon where a pilot continues a decent belowe minimums due to visual illusions during night approaches over featureless terrain.
What is black hole illusions?
The maximum allowable alcohol concentration in a pilot's blood while operating an aircraft, as specified by the FAR.
What is 0.04%?
The stability condition where the aircraft resists rolling motions due to dihedral angle.
What is lateral stability
The device in constant-speed propeller system that automatically adjusts blade pitch to maintain a selected RPM.
What is the propeller govenor?
The airspace classification that requires an ATC clearence and IFR equipment for all flights but provides no separation serrvices to VFR aircraft.
What is class E
The decrease in mental and physical performance casued by insufficeint rest or extended wakefulness.
What is fatigue?
The maximum time a pilot may fly as PIC in a commercial operation carrying passengers during any 24 consecutive hours under part 135.
What is 8 hours?
