Study Notes
Aviation Concepts
- Wing Slots: Increase air condition at high Angle of Attack (AOA), enhancing wing performance during takeoff and landing.
Aerodynamics
- Stall Speed: Strong upward gusts affect the Angle of Attack, which in turn affects stall speed.
Drag and Vortex
- Wingtip Vortex: Produces Induced Drag, a type of drag that occurs when a wing produces lift.
Safety Management
- Crew Resource Management (CRM): Considered the most safe system, as it focuses on effective communication, decision-making, and workload management among crew members.
Fuel Measurement
- Float-Fuel Gauge: Operates on the principle that volume varies with temperature change, ensuring accurate fuel measurement.
Emergency Procedures
- Low Fuel Condition: Not considered an emergency, and therefore, does not grant landing priority.
Flight States
- Spiral Dive: An undesirable flight state, often depicted on charts, characterized by a loss of control and a downward spiral motion.
IFR Privileges
- Maintaining IFR Privileges: Requires pilots to complete checks on a specified type of aircraft to maintain their Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) privileges.
