What is a stall?
Occurs when the wing exceeds its critical angle of attac
Center of Gravity (CG) Limits
Supposed to be defined in the Pilot's Operating Handbook or UAS Flight Manual, but those don't exist for drones
What is the angle of attack?
Determines when the craft stalls. This doesn't change if the vehicle weight changes.
What is load factor?
Increases during any maneuver
Remote PIC
This is the answer to any question about who is responsible
What direction do aircraft turn when circling the runway?
Left
Maintenance schedule
You're supposed to have one, even though most drones can't be user-repaired and don't provide a schedule.
Risk Management
Helps to prevent an accident chain
what are the 5 different personality factors?
-Machismo
-impulsivity
-invulnerablitiy
-resignation
-anti-authority
Machismo
Taking risks to impress others
Impulsivity
Doing something without thinking about it.
Invulnerability
Thinking accidents won't happen to you.
Resignation
What's the use? They don't control their destiny
Anti-authority
Nobody can tell me what to do
Crew Resource Management (CRM)
It's how you manage your "crew" and you should integrate it into all phases of the operation
How should scan for traffic in the sky?
Systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals
Latitude
Climb the latter
Longitude
the long way around the planet
Standard briefing
Contains the weather forecast
AWOS
Automated Weather Observing System
MULTICOM
used as the CTAF when there's no CTAF
UNICOM
base station that broadcasts to pilots when there's no tower
CTAF
for pilots to talk to each other when there's no tower.
Temperature inversion
Warm air on top of cold air. Fog, haze, low clouds, poor visibility, but smooth air.
Moist, unstable air
Turbulence (because the air is unstable), showery precipitation
Stable air
Smooth air, poor visibility, and steady (not showery) precipitation (because stable air is usually humid).
Unstable air
Intermittent precipitation
Cool + Dry
Stable
Hot + Humid
Unstable
High density altitude
Just means "high altitude". Air is thinner, so lift is decreased.
Nimbus
Means a rain cloud.
What are the red flags on the sectional chart
mark VFR checkpoints which mean more planes might be there
What do the tick marks mean on Lat/Long
Measure minutes between latitude and longitude degrees. Each tick is one minute. Bigger ticks mark 5 minutes.
Class A airspace
From 18,000 feet to 60,000 feet, all over the US
Class B airspace
Surrounding major airports, 0-10,000 feet. Consists of multiple layers, like an upside-down wedding cake.
Class C airspace
Surrounding airports with a control tower, radar, and over a specific amount of traffic. Usually 5 NM (nautical mile) radius from 0-4,000 feet, and a 10 NM radius from 1,200-4,000 feet.
Class D airspace
Surrounding airports with a control tower. 0-2,500 feet, no specific radius, just shaped around flight patterns. Outside control tower hours, Class D airspace is Class G.
Class G airspace
Uncontrolled airspace (below class E airspace).
Class E airspace
Usually it starts at 1,200 feet and goes up to 18,000 feet.
When does advection fog most likely form?
Air mass moving inland from the coast in winter
What clouds have the greatest turbulence?
cumulonimbus clouds
if the temperature/dewpoint spread is small and decreasing, and the temperature is 62F, what type of weather is most likely to develop?
fog or low clouds
