Aviation Fundamentals- EXAM 1 REVIEW– QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What are the requirements to become a private pilot? - -You must be at
least 17 years of age, complete specific training and flight time requirements
described in the FARs, pass a knowledge exam, and complete a practical
test.
- What are the requirements to obtain a third-class medical certificate? - -
Pass a physical exam administered by an FAA-authorized aviation medical
examiner.
- What are the privileges associated with having a private pilot certificate? -
-Being able to carry passengers and sharing expenses with other pilots
- How are aircraft organized for pilot certification? - -Category, class, and
type
- What is included in a flight review? - -At least one hour of ground
instruction, one hour of flight instruction, and a log book endorsement
- What rating is an essential requirement for most career flying jobs? - -
Multi-engine
- Additional pilot certificates that can be added to the private pilot certificate
are commercial pilot, airline transport pilot, and - -certificated flight
instructor.
- What is the purpose of the FAA? - -To govern commercial and general
aviation
- What requirements must you meet before you can acquire a student pilot
certificate? - -You must be at least 16 years of age; able to read, speak,
write and understand the English language; and hold a third-class medical
certificate.
- How do variations in atmospheric pressure affect your body when flying? -
-Reduced pressure can cause pain in the ears, sinuses, and abdomen and
can cause decompression sickness after scuba diving.
- What are four ways to minimize the effects of motion sickness? - -Reduce
stress and anxiety; schedule flights to avoid turbulent conditions; focus on
objects outside the aircraft; open fresh air vents
, - How does stress affect pilot performance? - -Releases hormones such as
adrenaline, speeds metabolism, and increases heart rate, respiration, and
perspiration
- What are the risks of operating an airplane under the influence of alcohol?
- -Impaired judgment and reduced coordination.
- After performing a self-assessment, what other steps must you follow
before flying while using a drug? - -Consult with an aviation medical
examiner and verify FAA approval of the drug.
- What actions do you need to take to plan for practicing flight maneuvers
and procedures? - -Determine an appropriate altitude and location for
practice; determine the maneuver and procedure steps and appropriate
airplane configurations using the pilot's operating handbook (POH) and your
training materials.
- What are the steps in the positive exchange of flight controls procedure? -
-. The pilot passing control says, "You have the flight controls," and continues
to fly the airplane.2. The pilot taking control says, "I have the flight controls,"
and moves the control stick to confirm.3. The pilot passing control says, "You
have the flight controls," releases the flight controls, and visually verifies
that the other pilot has the flight controls.
- What are the elements of the passenger briefing that you should perform
prior to the flight? - -How and when to fasten safety belts, air vent location
and operation, fire extinguisher location and operation, egress and
emergency operation of doors and windows, traffic and talking including use
of headsets, your questions (passenger questions)
- What elements should you include in a takeoff briefing? - -Wind direction
and velocity, runway length and conditions, takeoff distance, initial heading,
initial altitude, takeoff and climb speeds, departure procedures, emergency
plan in case of an engine failure after takeoff, pilot and co-pilot
responsibilities
- What are the elements of the before-landing briefing? - -Airport
information and weather conditions, active runway, terrain and obstacles,
airport elevation and pattern altitude, and traffic pattern entry
- For what flight operations do you use each type of checklist? - -Use normal
checklists to accomplish procedures required during normal flight operations;
use abnormal checklists to manage situations that might compromise flight
safety if not addressed; use emergency checklists to manage situations that
threaten flight safety and must be addressed immediately.
, - What are the differences between the do-list and flow pattern methods of
performing checklist procedures? - -To perform a do-list, you read the
checklist item and the associated action and then perform the action. Use a
do-list when you have time and the completion of each step in the correct
order is critical. A flow pattern guides you through the cockpit in a logical
order as you perform each step without the written checklist. Use a flow
pattern when the accurate sequence of the checklist items is not critical.
- What are three equipment operating levels that you can use to help
manage avionics workload? - -Level 1: control the airplane manually and use
the minimum equipment necessary to execute procedures.Level 2: use the
autopilot to manage workload, manually control the airplane at times, and
use the flight environment avionics information.Level 3: control the airplane
primarily by the autopilot and use a wide variety of avionics tools, including
navigation and flight planning information.
- What are four ways to maintain situational awareness when practicing
maneuvers and procedures? - -Identify and stay within a designated practice
area; be aware of the local weather conditions and wind direction; know your
airplane's procedures, limitations, and systems; use collision avoidance
procedures.
- What are five actions you can take to avoid a wire strike? - -Obtain special
training; fly at least 1,000 feet above ground level except during takeoff and
landing; maintain the appropriate glide path on final approach; maintain a
2,000-foot horizontal distance from any tower; be alert for power line notes
when obtaining airport information.
- What is aeronautical decision making (ADM)? - -A systematic approach to
the mental process used by pilots to consistently determine the best course
of action in response to a given set of circumstances
- What are the characteristics of human factors training? - -Addresses the
fact that the majority of all aviation accidents are human factors related and
are the result of a chain of events triggered by a number of factors;
increases aviation safety by optimizing human performance; focuses on how
physiology, emotions, and the interaction between individuals affect human
performance
- What five categories of risk factors do you need to consider when making
decisions about a flight? - -Pilot, passengers, plane, programming, and plan
- What are the risk factor types in the 5P Pilot category? - -Training,
experience, and fitness
