Study Notes

Aviation Concepts

Balanced field length: the distance required for an aircraft to accelerate to V1, experience an engine failure, and either reject the takeoff or continue to takeoff safely, with enough runway remaining.

Engine Operations

Turbo-prop engine start: ground idle temperature should be increased.
Diffuser function in a turbine engine: not specified.
Stator vane function in a turbine engine: not specified.
Turbo-fan engine: as air enters the compressor fan, pressure increases, and velocity decreases.

Takeoff and Landing

TOA (Takeoff Distance Available): the distance available for takeoff.
ASDA (Accelerated Stop Distance Available): the distance available for stopping during an accelerated stop.
Maneuvering area: includes runways and taxiways.

Pilot Factors

Low approach illusions:
- Rain on the windshield
- Downslope runway
- Upslope terrain
Collision avoidance scanning technique: 45-degree visibility check.

Aircraft Performance

Single engine failure ceiling and range: 21700 ft and 401 nm.
Single engine failure information: can be found in notes based on specific situations.

Safety Procedures

Fuel dump systems: monitor fuel dumping process.
De-icing and cold-soaking frost: avoid taking off with frost attached to the wing; keep formed frost adhered to the wing.

Aircraft Systems

Compressor bleed purpose: not specified.
Leading-edge flap function: increases lift by increasing the camber of the wing.

Airport Operations

ILS CAT II & CAT III power: check AIM for information.
Low visibility operation procedure: check CFS (Correct).
