Study Notes

Certification and Pilot Requirements

  • 14 CFR 61 governs the certification of pilots and instructors.
  • Pilots must possess a valid Pilot Certificate, Medical Certificate, and an Official Photo ID to act as Pilot-In-Command (PIC) or required flight crew member.
  • Refusing drug or alcohol testing can lead to application denial or certificate suspension for up to 1 year.
  • Class 1 medical certificates are valid for 12 months; renewal requirements apply.
  • If an airmen certificate or medical is lost, it can be replaced with a fee; replacement is valid for 60 days.
  • Medical certificates become invalid if the pilot is required to take drowsy-inducing medication.

Pilot Duties and Regulations

  • Falsifying Pilot Duty Logs can result in certificate suspension or revocation.
  • Pilots must notify the FAA of a permanent address change within 30 days.
  • 14 CFR 91 outlines general operating and flight rules, including limitations and operational procedures.

Airspace and Flight Operations

  • Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) are established over large sporting events (30,000+ attendees), prohibiting operations within 3 NM and 3000 ft AGL, with exceptions for medical transportation.
  • Pilots must provide required operational information like weather and runway data before accepting flights more than 100 NM from the base.
  • Deviations from ATC clearances are allowed in emergencies, with updated clearances or safety concerns.

Drug and Alcohol Regulations

  • 14 CFR 135 focuses on drug and alcohol use among aviation personnel; refusal to take tests can lead to severe penalties.
  • Employers cannot allow individuals with prohibited drugs in their system to perform safety-sensitive duties.

General Operations Manual (GOM)

  • The GOM covers regulations for flight operations, including accident reporting and cleanliness responsibility for pilots.
  • Emergency drills are mandated, requiring training on assignments, equipment operation, and emergency handling.
  • A total of 16 essential documents must be onboard every aircraft, including maintenance logs and flight manuals.

Flight Operations and Conduct

  • If a safety-sensitive function is performed during a mishap, drinking alcohol is prohibited for 8 hours following the incident.
  • Pilots must ensure compliance with weight and balance records and must inform the Director of Operations regarding emergencies.

Weather and Equipment Requirements

  • Flight weather planning involves using approved sources such as Telvent DTN, WSI, and others for VFR/IFR operations.
  • Communication equipment is required for maintaining contact at all times except in remote areas where it's impractical.
  • Distances for VORs: Terminal VORs cover 25 NM up to 12,000 ft AGL; Low VORs cover 40 NM up to 18,000 ft AGL.
  • "Minimum fuel" declaration informs ATC without granting emergency priority; it signifies that delays could lead to an emergency situation.
  • Mode-C transponder must function properly to operate above Class C airspace.

Miscellaneous Regulations

  • A pilot's total flight time includes all commercial flying, not just that with Air Methods.
  • Autopilot checks are not required every 6 months for single-pilot operations but must be demonstrated annually during proficiency checks.### General Aviation Information
  • Direction is determined by ground track as outlined in AIM 4-1-14.

Interception Protocol

  • If intercepted by military aircraft, use transponder code 7700 for the remainder of the flight (AIM 5-6-1).

Taxiway Closures

  • Information about taxiway closures can be found in NOTAM (D), which includes data on personnel and equipment near runways (AIM 5-1-3).

Meteorological Concepts

  • A wind shift from 230-350 degrees with decreased temperature and dew point, and rising pressure indicates a cold front.
  • Moist, unstable air with warm surface temperatures typically results in cumulus clouds, showers, and turbulence.
  • Radiation fog is likely if visibility decreases, temperature/dew point spread nears 4 degrees, and conditions are clear with low winds near sunrise.

Hypoxia Symptoms

  • Symptoms of hypoxia include cyanosis, headaches, impaired judgment, euphoria, visual impairment, drowsiness, tingling in extremities, and lightheadedness (Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge Chapter 17).

Pitot Tube Functionality

  • A blocked pitot tube results in unreliable readings on the Airspeed Indicator (Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge Chapter 8).

Area Forecast Validity

  • Area forecasts are issued three times daily and remain valid for 18 hours (Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge Chapter 13).

Thunderstorm Lifecycle

  • Thunderstorms progress through three stages: cumulus, mature, and dissipating (Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge Chapter 12).

Wind Formation

  • Wind is caused by air moving from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas (Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge Chapter 12).

Meteorological Advisories

  • Inflight severe weather information is communicated via Convective SIGMETs, which are updated hourly and valid for two hours (Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge Chapter 13).

Cloud Types and Turbulence

  • Lenticular clouds indicate potential mountain wave clear air turbulence (CAT) but are not always present when CAT occurs (Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge Chapter 12).

Wake Turbulence Awareness

  • On final approach, awareness of wake turbulence from large aircraft is crucial; adjust approach to avoid turbulence by terminating before the other aircraft's rotation point (Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge Chapter 14).

Weather Hazards

  • Virga may indicate microbursts, creating hazardous flying conditions (Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge Chapter 12).
  • Thunderstorms pose significant hazards including hail and turbulence (Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge Chapter 12).

Operational Control and Authorization

  • As PIC, operational control responsibility cannot be delegated (A008).
  • Air Methods helicopters are not approved for Land and Hold Short Operations (GOM 3-5).
  • Standard passenger weight for unable-to-weigh patients is authorized under A097 in OpSpec.

Documentation for Operations

  • Recent management personnel lists under part 135 can be checked in A006.
  • PMSP is required for installing LOX bottles in Air Methods helicopters.
  • Legal operation of specific tail number aircraft in commercial capacity is determined via D085 in the OpSpec.
