Pilot Information / Misc
100
Ice or frost on wing can affect flying characteristics by doing this
Decreasing lift and increasing drag
100
The greatest probability of lightning strike occurs when the temperature is between these temperatures
-5 to +5 degrees Celsius
100
Vno
The speed you can exceed in smooth air only, referred to as the normal operation speed.
100
Runway numbering in Southern Domestic Airspace is based on this
Magnetic Track
100
Turning from upwind to crosswind to downwind, you may experience this illusion
May feel like the aircraft is slipping, which may cause the pilot to add rudder inside the turn and skid.
200
There can be no contamination adhering to any critical surface of the aircraft
The Clean Aircraft Concept
200
Having completely entered a thunderstorm, you want to avoid doing this
Turing around
200
Vne
The never exceed speed, don't go over this if you don't want to break your aircraft.
200
The 3 rescue centers in Canada are located in these cities
Halifax NS, Trenton ON, and Victoria BC
200
High Density Altitude
Results from being High (At a lower pressure), Hot, and Humid. Reduces Engine Performance.
300
Lightning, heavy rain, turbulence and wind shear
The dangers of a thunderstorm
300
A “burst” caused by strong downdrafts would make an airplane encounter this sequence of shears
Performance increased shear, followed by downdraft, followed by performance decreased shear.
300
Vref
Approach speed corrected for the predicted landing weight
300
Rain on a windscreen may give this kind of illusion
Objects are closer and lower than they actually are, which may cause you to fly lower.
Ottawa did not have an automatic rainfall detector, this is how the tower personnel would report rainfall.
300
Ground effect does this for your aircraft's performance
Reduce Induced Drag
400
For hydroplaning, these are the formulas to remember in terms of a rotating tire and a non-rotating tire
9 x sqrt(Tire PSI)
7.7 x sqrt(Tire PSI)
400
These are examples of factors that can lower your stall speed
Aft center of gravity, decreased weight, full flaps, full power
400
How many different categories of ELT’s are there?
How long should an ELT's battery last for?
5 different categories
48 hours
400
In a spin, the airspeed should be indicating this
At or below the indicated stall speed.
400
When flying in severe turbulence you should aim to fly below this speed
Va, maneuvering speed
500
A wider runway than you're used to may make you approach like this
Higher than you normally would, since you feel low
500
1. An increase in weight will cause this to increase
2. A V2 VASI provides glide slope information for aircraft with an EWH of up to this value
3. For a typical medium jet, ground idle jet blast, this is how are back you should stay
1. Stall Speed
2. 25'
3. 450'
500
Wing tip vortices are greatest on an aircraft that is flying like this
Heavy, clean, and slow
500
This is a good rule of thumb to remember when taking off or landing behind a large, slow, and clean aircraft
BRAT : Before Rotation, After Touchdown
500
Occurs at higher speeds with a deep layer of water on the runway
Dynamic Hydroplaning
