    Study Notes

    Outbound Destination Sign

    • Identifies the direction to take-off runways.

    Federal Airway Width

    • The width from the centerline is 4 nautical miles.

    Magnetic Compass Behavior

    • In the Northern Hemisphere, compass initially indicates a turn toward the east during left turns from a north heading.

    Alcohol or Drug Conviction Consequences

    • Conviction grounds for denial of an FAA certificate or rating under 14 CFR part 61.

    Wake Turbulence

    • Vortex circulates outward, upward, and around each wingtip.

    Aft CG Limit Effects

    • Difficulty in recovering from a stalled condition if CG is aft of limits.

    Incident Reporting to NTSB

    • Report required when requested after an aircraft incident.

    Low-Level Turbulence in Fog

    • Hazardous icing likely in steam fog.

    Aircraft Classifications

    • Classes include airplane, rotorcraft, glider, and balloon.

    Safety Belt Regulations

    • Required during taxi, takeoffs, and landings with certain exceptions.

    Hazardous Wind Shear Conditions

    • Expected in low-level temperature inversions and frontal zones.

    Somatogravic Illusion Likelihood

    • Increased risk during takeoff phase.

    Magneto Disconnection Effects

    • Engine cannot be shut down with the switch if the ground wire is disconnected.

    Cooperstown Airport Coordinates

    • Approximate latitude and longitude: 47°25'N - 98°06'W.

    VFR Operation Requirements in Class B Airspace

    • Needs two-way radio, a 4096-code transponder, and an encoding altimeter.

    Fuel Drainage Calculation

    • Draining approximately 18.4 gallons brings an aircraft 110 pounds under max gross weight.

    Fuel/Air Mixture during Descent

    • Mixture may become excessively lean during descent from 9,500 to 4,500 feet MSL.

    Magnetic Compass Accuracy

    • Correctly indicates direction when on a north or south heading despite acceleration/deceleration.

    Global Positioning System (GPS)

    • Composed of 24 satellites.

    BasicMed Certification Requirements

    • Pilots without a medical certificate must obtain one to qualify for BasicMed.

    Constant-Speed Propeller Benefits

    • Allows selection for optimal blade angle, improving performance efficiency.

    True North vs. Magnetic North

    • Angular difference is referred to as magnetic variation.

    Altimeter Indication Changes

    • Will indicate lower than actual altitude when transitioning from low to high pressure without adjustment.

    Motor Vehicle Conviction Reporting

    • Written report to FAA Civil Aviation Security required within 60 days of conviction.

    Hazards in Military Operations Areas (MOA)

    • Likely presence of unusual hazards like artillery firing and aerial gunnery.

    Class C Airspace Radio Equipment

    • Requires two-way radio, a 4096-code transponder, and an encoding altimeter.

    Initial Contact with Flight Service

    • Proper phraseology includes specific station and aircraft identification.

    Frost Formation Conditions

    • Occurs when collecting surface temperature is at or below dewpoint of adjacent air, which must also be below freezing.

    Emergency Transponder Code

    • Code 7700 is to be used in distress or general emergency situations.

    Basic VFR Takeoff or Landing Requirements

    • Flight visibility must be at least 3 miles at airports within Class D airspace.

    Class C Airspace Entry Action

    • Pilot should contact approach control before entering.
