FL180 is equal to———- feet in altitude 18,000 Who is responsible for computing weight and balance of the aircraft before take off? Pilot in Command What does a PAIP indicate? Who is to be notified after an incident. The GOM regional aviation director FSS stands for—- Flight Service stations- air traffic facilities that provide pilot briefing, flight plan processing, -enroute radio - search and rescue services-ATC clearances Area navigation is abbreviated ILS stands for ----- Instrument Landing system. Normally consists of the following electronic components and visual aids. -Localizer -Glidescope -Outer Marker -Middle Marker -Approach Lights VOR Is a ground based navigation system that can be used for NON PRECISION approaches. It is not as precise as a localizer and does not have a glides-lope nutter marker, or require approach lights AIM stands for Aeronautical Information Manual- Basic flight information and ATC procedures GOM stands for General Operations Manual for Airmethods. Air Carrier Cert. QMLA253U CFR stands for Code of Federal Regulations- FAA regulations that govern todays aircraft found under title 14 Payload is considered Combined weight of the passengers, baggage, and cargo. What kind of equipment is used to measure the slant range distance of an aircraft in nautical miles? DME TACAN What is air density? Total mass of air particles for a given unit volume. kg/m3. As altitude increases, the air density decreases. Air density can be affected by faros such as temperature and humidity, and it can affect aircraft performance. MSL Mean sea level- a measure of altitude with respect to the level of the sea. Sea Level FL - Flight Level Height of flight is called Flight Level. Each level is 3 digits that represent hundreds of feet. It is used at and above 18,000 feet MSL. CLASS A Airspace What does AGL stand for and when is it used? AGL is an acronym for Above Ground Level and it measures the altitude or the height of a level, point, or object measured in feet above the ground. One knot is equivalent to how many miles per hour? 1.151 mph What is an example of temporary flight restrictions ? Major sporting events, in support of movements of VIPs like Air-force One. Disaster or hazardous ☢️ situations or aircraft relief activities following a disaster. Restricted Airspace Denote the existence of unusual, often invisible hazards to aircraft such as military firing, aerial gunnery, guided missiles, etc. CANNOT ENTER without special clearance Dipicted as blue line with slash marks on the map Restricted Airspace (special use) -Assumed permanent. -Cannot enter unless permission from control agency -Invisible hazards like surface to air, air to air missiles, and live rounds Prohibited Airspace No flying allowed, eg Camp David White House, etc Relative Humidity (RH) the amount of water vapor present in air expressed as a percentage of the amount needed for saturation at the same temperature. relative humidity the amount of water vapor present in air expressed as a percentage of the amount needed for saturation at the same temperature. atmospheric pressure Force exerted by the weight of the air barometric pressure the pushing force of the atmosphere. Measures the weight not the density. The helicopter's center of gravity affects:
