(KIAS)
-When flying from a altimeter setting region to a Standard Pressure Region you
should set your altimeter to 29.92 just __________ entering the SPR - -After
-What is the main difference between a reportable aviation incident and accident? -
-a Reportable aviation Incident does not apply to small aircraft (> 5,700 kg). It
covers emergencies (fire, going off runway, Control issues) that could have resulted
in a major accident.
-Pilots operating at an uncontrolled Aerodrome at which no ground station exists or
frequency is published should broadcast on - -123.2
-When is refueling of an air taxi flight not permitted with passengers on board? - -
When the pilot-in-command is not available to monitor the fueling
-how many hours can a flight crew log in a 24 hour period? If the pilot is single
engine IFR how many hours can be logged? - -14 and 8
-When should you carry a journey Log on an Aircraft? - -At all times unless the
aircraft will not land and shutdown at another location.
-When penetrating the ADIZ ETA must be within ________ minutes and _________
NMs. - -5 20
-In a carburetor the fuel to air ratio is governed by... - -Mass (or weight)
-What happens to the Fuel/Air ratio when Carb heat is applied? As a result what
should you do for prolong carb heat usage. - -Air is warmer therefore less dense so
you should lean the mixture for prolong use of Carb heat.
, -What happens to an engine when fuel is not leaned at high altitudes? - -the fuel to
air mixture becomes too rich this results in a drop of RPMs and spark plugs may
foul. This will also result an more fuel used than calculated as per the POH.
-What happens when you lean the mixture at cursing altitude? - -You are
decreasing the amount of fuel to air ratio to compensate for the less dense air at
higher altitudes.
-When Carb heat is applied what happens to the fuel to air ratio? - -The fuel gets
richer because the air becomes less dense.
-As the Angle of attack is increased what happens to lift and induced drag? - -They
both increase.
-The First Symptom of Carburetor icing is
a. Engine Roughness
b. RPM decrease - -b
-A turbo Charger is powered by __________ _________ and a supercharger is powered
by _____ _________ - -Exhaust gases, internally driven compressor powered by the
engine.
-If the pitot tube and its drain becomes blocked What would the Airspeed indicator
do? - -Act like a VSI or altimeter
-If a pitot tube becomes blocked but the drain remains clear what will the Airspeed
indicator do? - -This is a partial block which will allow the dynamic pressure to
slowly leak out. In this case the ASI will decrease to 0
-What will happen to the Airspeed indicator if the static port gets blocked? - -It will
under-read more and more as you climb and over read more and more as you
descend.
-What will happen to the altimeter if the static port gets blocked? - -It will freeze on
the last altitude before blockage
-Where can you find the CRFI recommended value for a specific crosswind? - -
Under that specific crosswind in the Chart titled Crosswind limits for CRFI
-What is a trough and how is it depicted on a GFA? - -It is an elongated are of low
pressure and is shown as a single purple line.
-What does a double purple line indicate on a GFA? - -an upper air trough.
-What is the difference between a trowal and a trough and how is each depicted on
a GFA? - -A Trowal (or an occluded front) occurs when cold air catches up with warm
air. It is shown on the GFA as zipper cold and warm front. A trough is an elongated
area of low pressure. It is shown on the GFA as a single purple line.
, -You takeoff with and the field altimeter setting is 30.12. Along the route while level
at 5,000 you check the AWOS at a nearby airport and it 30.02. What altitude are
you actually at? - -4,900
-You takeoff with and the field altimeter setting is 29.80. Along the route while level
at 5,000 you check the AWOS at a nearby airport and it 30.00. What altitude are
you actually at? - -5,200
-Define dew point - -The temperature to which air must be cooled at a constant
pressure to becomes saturated.
-How do you estimate the base height of a cloud using the dew point and
temperature? - -Temperature - Dew point (Dew point spread) x 400.
-At what rate does saturated air cool and at what rate does dry air cool? - -
Saturated=1.5 degrees/1000 feet
dry= 3 degrees/1000 feet
-Stratus clouds are known for what type of precipitation? - -Drizzle
-If winds are veering, which direction are they shifting too? - -Clockwise
-Typically during climb out what do the winds do? - -Veer and increase
-What is the Air mass that usually occurs only in the winter time over Canada? - -
continental Arctic (cA)
-What is the Air mass that usually occurs only in the summer time over Canada? - -
Maritime Tropical (mT)
-What are the two air masses that are very rare for Canada? - -cP and cT.
-Decode the following METAR: RMK SF5NS3 SLP134 - -Remarks:5 oktas Stratus
fractus 3 oktas Nimbostratus Sea level pressure: 1013.4 hPa
-Decode the following METAR: RMK SN2SC6 SLP270 - -Remarks: 2 oktas Stratus
Nimbus 6 oktas stratus cumulus
Seal level pressure: 1027.0 hpa
-How do you calculate the Freezing level within a cloud?
EG= Elevation 900 ft
Surface Temp = 24 c
Dew Point = 15 C - -1. First get the Cloud Base (Dew point Spread X 400)
1. Eg: 3,600 + 900 = 4500 ASL
2. Then get the "new dew point (DP- (.5x(cloud base/1000)
2. Eg: 15- (.5x (3,600/1000)= 13.2
3. New DP/1.5 X1,000
13.2/1.5X1,000
4. Add that to the Base plus Elevation = freezing level.
4 eg: 3,600 +8,800 =12,400 AGL + 900 = 13,300 ASL
