What personal documents and endorsements are you required to have before you fly solo? Student pilot certificate, Class 3 or higher medical Cert, FAR 61.87b pre solo exam endorsement, FAR 61.87c pre-solo flight training endorsement. 61.87N What are your limitations as a student pilot regarding carrying of passengers or cargo and flying for compensation or hire? A student may not act as a pilot in command of an aircraft that is carrying property for compensation or hire. NO PASSENGERS Who has the final authority and responsibility for the operation of the aircraft when you are flying solo? The pilot in command (ME) Explain student pilot limitations regarding visibility, ceilings and flight above clouds? (61.89) May not act as pilot in command of an aircraft with a flight surface visibility less than 3 miles during daylight hours or 5 miles at night, or when flight can not be made with reference to surface. Discuss what preflight action concerning the airport and aircraft performance is specified in the regulations for a local flight? (91.103) 1.) Weather report and forecasts, (2.) fuel requirements, (3.) Alternatives available if flight cannot be complete, (4.) Flight manual with take off and distance data, (5.) Reliable info including airport elevation, runway slope, aircraft gross weight and wind/temp. What are the general requirements pertaining to the use of safety belts and shoulder harnesses?(91.107)
The pilot in command must make sure all passengers know how to use seat belts properly. Pilot must use safety belt at all times. Shoulder harness is required only during take off and landings. What is the minimum fuel reserve for day VFR flight and on what cruise speed is the fuel reserve based?(91.151) Enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing, assuming normal flight speed. Day- at least 30 mins, Night- at least 45 mins What aircraft certificates and documents must be on board when you are flying solo? (ARROW)
At and around your home airport, where is an operating mode C transponder required?(91)
Discuss the steps in the go around process(Cessna 150 manual) Wing flap setting should be reduced to 20 immediately after full power is applied. After reaching safe airspeed, flaps should be slowly retracted to full up position What general steps should you follow after an engine failure in flight? Pitch for best glide (65), pick best spot you intend to make an emergency landing on, follow checklist for engine restart (check fuel on, mixture full, carb heat on, full throttle, key is on both, master stitch) During flight, you begin to see a gradual decrease in power. What is a likely cause and what should be done to remedy the situation? (AFH chp. 16) Cause is probably carb ice build up, to correct this add carb heat until RPM is restored. Also increase power During engine run up, you cause rocks, debris and propeller blast to be directed toward another aircraft or person. Could this be considered careless or reckless operation of an aircraft? Why or why not?(91.13) This is reckless and carless, could be prevented by having prop blast go in another direction What altitudes should you use when operation VFR in level cruising flight at more than 3000 ft AGL and what determines those altitudes? (91.159) Course of 180- 3 59 even thousands + Course of 0-179 odd thousands +
List the minimum equipment and instruments that must be working properly in your aircraft for day VFR flight. 1.) Airspeed (2.) Altimeter (3.) Compass (4.) tachometer (5.) fuel gauge (6.) Oil temp and pressure (7.)Anti-Collision light (8.) ELT (9.) seat belts What is the emergency frequency?(TOMATO/FLAMES)
Vso Stall speed with flaps (49) Vs Stall speed without flaps (56) Vx Best angle of climb (52) Vfe Flaps extend speed (100) Vy Best rate of climb (72)
Va Speed at stall before structural damage (109) Vne Never exceed (162) Vno Normal operating range (120) What is the best glide speed? 65 Normal take off 0 degree flap Normal landing 20 degree flap Short/soft field take off 10 degree flap
Short/soft field landing 40 degree flap Describe any limitations on flap use in your training airplane. Cant fly more than 100mph with the flaps extended and will stall with them at any speed lower than 49 mph What grade or grades of fuel can be safely used in your aircraft? What are the colors of the recommended fuels? What happens to the color if two grades are mixed?
If during a flight, you experience carb ice and full carb heat is applied, what changes in engine performance would you expect? When first apply carb heat expect engine to run rougher(lose RPMs) may need to lean mix to correct that, then once ice is melted it will run better(increase RPMS) Under what circumstances could a spin occur in your training airplane? Only if airplane is stalled and not properly recovered Describe the spin recovery procedures for your training aircraft? Power- Idle Ailerons- Neutral Rudder- Full opposite direction Elevator- Forward, then back to recover from dive What is the stall speed of your training airplane in a 60 degree bank with flaps up? 78 MPH What are the traffic patterns for each runway at your home airport? What is the MSL altitude for the traffic pattern?(AIM. sec. 3) Crosswind, downwind, base leg, and final approach. Start pattern at 1600 MSL. All patterns are left at home How do you enter and exit the traffic pattern at your airport. What radio communications are required? (AIM. chp. 4 sec. 3)
Enter pattern in level flight, 45 degree on downwind, abeam the midpoint of the runway, at pattern altitude. Radio communication should be on 122. Describe how you would approach and enter the traffic pattern at an uncontrolled airport?(AIM. chp. 4 sec. 3) Approach at 45 degree angle on downwind at pattern altitude What radio calls are recommended as you approach and fly in the traffic pattern at an uncontrolled airport? (AIM. chp.4 sec. 3) Make radio call 10 miles out, make call when at 45 degree of downwind, radio call entering each pattern, downwind, base, final approach, clear runway. What are typical dimensions of class D airspace and what requirements must be met prior to entry? (FAR 91.129) 4nm, ceiling around 2500 AGL, establish and maintain two way communication with ATC prior to entering airspace What is CTAF? Explain the CTAF procedures at your home airport. Common traffic advisory frequency. Call 5-10 miles away declaring your plan on entering pattern, call again 1-2 miles out, enter on 45 on downwind. Call your possition as you fly around pattern. CTAF: 122. If you receive ATC instructions that you do not understand or feel my compromise safety, what should you do?(FAR. 91.3) Ask ATC to repeat/ If compromises safety say "unable" or ask for a different clearance- pilot in command has final authority
What is the meaning of each of the following ATC light signals?(IN FLIGHT) Green, flashing green, red, flashing red, white? (FAR 91.125) Clear to land, return for landing, give way/continue circle, airport unsafe/ don't land, return to starting point What is the meaning of each of the following ATC light signals?(ON THE GROUND) Green, flashing green, red, flashing red, white? (FAR 91.125) Clear for takeoff, clear to taxi, STOP, taxi clear of runway, return to starting point What aircraft equipment and student pilot authorizations are required for a student pilot to fly solo in Class B airspace? (FAR. 61.95) A.) Student must be trained by an instructor in both ground and flight in class B airspace (B.) Logbook must be endorsed by instructor for airspace (C.) Endorsement specifies ground and flight training in B airspace. Can a student pilot request a special VFR clearance in less than VFR conditions? Explain your answer. (FAR. 61.89) No, with flight or surface visibility of less than 3 statute miles during daylight hours or 5 statute miles at night. A magenta dashed line surrounds certain uncontrolled airports. What does this indicate and what is it significant to VFR pilots? (AIM. 3- 1 - 5) Class E airspace starts at that Surface prevents me from going out in IFR traffic
How can you tell if a runway is closed? Marked with an X and also always check NOTAMs and listen to ATIS
