Private Pilot Stage 3 Questions and Answers 100% Correct

Private Pilot Stage 3 Questions and Answers 100% Correct What are the 3 conditions for bad takeoff performance? -High Temperature -High Humidity -High Altitude How do you read a density altitude chart? -Temperature, straight up to corresponding diagonal line, and then straight across How to interpolate a takeoff distance chart? take the extremes, and divide by two What is the difference between the range and the endurance of an aircraft? -range is the distance that the aircraft can fly, -endurance is the amount of time that the aircraft can remain in the air. What is the definition of Center of Gravity where all of the aircraft's weight is considered to be concentrated What is included in basic empty weight? -Oil -Coolant -Unusable fuel What formula determine weight and balence? Arm X lbs = Moment How to find total arm Total moment / total weight How much does gas weigh per gallon? 6 lbs per gallon How to interpolate max takeoff weight (Total weight - Max Gross Weight)/6 How to find moment on weight and balance chart -find weight of each object separately -go across to diagonal line -go straight down -add moments up What is the Time, Speed, and distance used for on your E6B? Groundspeed and fuel consumption How to find density altitude on E6B -Find pressure altitude and temperature -Match them on the +- 50 thing w/ temp on outside read density altitude When you are flying an aircraft into a left-quartering headwind, what is the effect on groundspeed and wind correction angle if the wind velocity increases? Groundspeed decreases, and wind correction increases. How to convert CS to TS on E6B -Line up temp and pressure altitude -Read TAS on outside, CAS on inside How to use a plotter -Line up where you are with where you want to go -Find a longitudinal line -Keeping the angle of the plotter, move it until the middle intersects with a line of longitude How to calculate fuel remaining -Place arrow on fuel burn per hour -Find fuel on back scale -Read fuel remaining on moving scale How to find compass heading -Find course using plotter -Do wind problem to find wind correction angle -Add wind correction angle to course -Use purple dashed lines to determine magnetic heading -Add/subtract deviation in compass How to find magnetic variation Look at purple dashed lines and add or subtract it from true heading Using the partially completed navigation log, determine the time required to fly the distance from the bridge to the destination 1 hour, 10 minutes How do you convert TH to MH? TH +- Var = MH For a night cross-country flight, you are required by the FARs to carry enough fuel, considering wind and forecast weather, to complete the flight to 45 minutes past what you need to land How long are flight plans good for before taking off? 1 hr When do they look for you if you don't close your flight plan? 30 min after landing what part of your eye allows you to see color Cones While allowing your eyes to adapt to darkness for a night flight, you should avoid bright white lights at least thirty minutes before flight The best way to view dim objects at night is to use off-center viewing and avoid staring at the object for too long When flying a VFR approach at night there is a natural tendency to use a Lower than normal approach Assume you feel a tumbling or spinning sensation during climbout after a night departure. In this situation, you should rely on the flight instruments and believe what they tell you The best way to overcome the effects of hypoxia is to use supplemental oxygen One of the things that can cause hyperventilation is stress What type of hazardous attitude is represented by the statement, "It won't happen to me," and what is the appropriate antidote? Invulnerability, and "It could happen to me." The "I'm Safe" Checklist provides a self-assessment of your safety as a pilot To maximize your communication effectiveness, you should repeat them back The key concepts of effective workload management are Use proper planning
