Study Notes
Aircraft Operations and Performance
- At 40,000 feet, the time of useful consciousness is 15-30 seconds, indicated by the red mark.
Pitot-Static Systems
- Airspeed drops to zero in climb if the pilot tube is blocked, but the drain vent is clear.
Propeller Operations
- To prevent aircraft reverse thrust at cruise, the low pitch stop is used.
Meteorological Aerodrome Reports (MAC)
- MAC% calculation is 27.6%.
VFR Flight Planning
- For a 2-hour eastbound VFR trip, the maximum altitude without oxygen is 9500ft.
- For day VFR flight, 30 minutes of extra fuel is required.
Overwater Operations
- For multiple aircraft flying over water without life jackets, the maximum distance from land is 50NM.
- For flying over water without a life preserver, the maximum distance from land is also 50NM.
Crosswind Limitations
- The maximum wind for CRF1 0.35 with a 40° crosswind is 20KTS.
CRF Notation
- The meaning of "0.3" in CRF10.3 is unclear and requires further clarification.
Critical Engine Failure
- The critical engine failure speed is V1.
Decision Making for Cross-Country Flight Planning
- When a CPL pilot has a strong intention to do VFR cross-country flight planning, they will confirm good information and discard counter information.
Takeoff and Climb Safety Speed
- The takeoff and climb safety speed for a multi-engine aircraft is V2.
Definition of V2
- V2 is the speed that an aircraft must reach before climbing.
ATPL Medical Expiration
- If an ATPL medical expiration occurs, the license can be changed to a PPL license (C).
ATPL Pilot Medical Effective Time
- A 42-year-old ATPL pilot who flies two-operation aircraft has a medical effective time of 12 months.
ELT Test
- The ELT test must be conducted within the first 5 minutes of UTC hours and should not exceed 5 seconds.
Buffet Boundary Limits
- The buffet boundary limits are between 0.738 and 0.826.
Carbon Monoxide Effects
- Carbon monoxide affects require several days to recover from.
Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) Operation
- The CVR will start working as soon as the electrical power is turned on.
