| IFR | Instrument Flight Rules |
| VMC | Visual Meterological Conditions |
| Visual Meterological Conditions | Able to fly VFR in certain weather condition, if your not you need to use IFR. |
| Visual Scanning | The most effective way to scan during daylight is through a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements in 10* sections |
| Haze | Tends to make traffic and terrain features appear farther away than they actually are. |
| Empty field Myopia | If the sky is devoid of objects your eyes tend to focus at only 10-30 ft ahead. |
| Operations lights on | within 10nm of an airport use your landing lights to help other traffic see you better |

| If ramp personel have there left had go in a circle | It means that you start engine |

| Mode C | Sends out transponder frequencies |
| Tri Color VASI, when you see green light you are | On Glide Path |
| Tri Color VASI, when you see Yellow light you are | You are above path |
| Tri Color VASI, when you see red light you are | You are below glide path |
| Tri Color VASI shows | Green, Red, and Yellow Lights for how high you are |
| PAPI shows | White and red lights to show how high you are |
| PAPI, when you see all white lights you are | too high |
| PAPI, when you see all white lights but one red you are | slightly high |
| PAPI, when you see two white lights and two red lights you are | on glide path |
| PAPI, when you see all red lights except for one white you are | You are slightly low |
| PAPI, when you see all red lights you are | You are way too low |
| A star on an airport shows that the airport has a | Beacon |
| A circle r on a map shows if there is a | Radar there |
| A circle H is to show if there is a | Weather Service HIWAS |
| Minimums for ft only apply to what class when it is either day or night | Class G |
| Class G | Usually 700 to 1,200 ft AGL |
