Study Notes
Aviation Regulations and Procedures
- Ear pain during flight is alleviated when the pressure in the inner ear is equalized during the climb.
Aircraft Performance and Safety
- Frost icing of 0.10-0.15 inches in diameter on the wing affects the second segment climb performance significantly, but not lift.
Communication and Clearance
- If a large aircraft overshoots while holding short, and the tower instructs to clear for takeoff, deny takeoff and inform ATC of the reason.
- In the event of a communication failure with no other means of communication, a cell phone can be used.
Thunderstorm Navigation
- When flying through a thunderstorm, the safest approach is to maintain safety power and speed and avoid turning back.
Aircraft Inspection and Preparation
- Before takeoff, ensure there is no ice contamination on critical surfaces.
- Critical surface inspection should be done before takeoff.
Pilot Licenses and Endorsements
- An ATPL-licensed pilot can be a Pilot-in-Command (PIC) with an endorsement for the specific type of aircraft.
IFR Procedures
- When arriving at an uncontrolled airport in uncontrolled airspace under IFR, report 5 minutes before commencing descent.
- Before changing to a Mandatory Frequency (MF) when arriving at an uncontrolled airport in uncontrolled airspace under IFR, broadcast on 126.7.
