SARON 7-2

Aircraft Systems and Operations

• The Pilot-in-Command (PIC) can extend an unforeseeable delay.
• Hydraulic mechanical pitch stop prevents reverse in air.
• The Center of Gravity (C of G) can be expressed as a percentage of the Mean Aerodynamic Chord (MAC), specifically MAC% = 21.56%.
• A directional gyro with a remote compass serves as a slave compass.
• The air conditioning system pressurizes the cabin by controlling the amount of air that exits the pressure vessel to maintain the desired cabin pressure altitude.
• The pressurization outflow valves system limits the amount of air leaving the fuselage.
• When flying in very cold temperatures in a mountain range, pilots should add 1,000 feet above the Minimum En Route Altitude (MEA).
• Contaminants are substances that can negatively impact aircraft operations and safety.

Aviation Systems

• The PIC (Pilot in Command) can extend an unforeseeable delay.

Aircraft Controls

• A hydraulic mechanical pitch stop prevents reverse in air.

Aircraft Design

• The center of gravity (C of G) can be expressed as MAC% ( Moment Arm percentage), which is 21.56%.

Navigation Systems

• A slave compass is equivalent to a directional gyro with a remote compass.

Pressurization System

• The aircraft pressurization system maintains the desired cabin pressure altitude by controlling the amount of air that exits the pressure vessel.
• The pressurization outflow valves system limits the amount of air leaving the fuselage.

Flight Planning

• When flying at very cold temperatures in mountainous regions, add 1,000 feet above the Minimum Enroute Altitude (MEA).

Air Quality

• Contaminants are controlled in pressurized aircraft by maintaining the desired cabin pressure, which is achieved by controlling the amount of air that enters or exits the pressure vessel.
