Study Guice for Stage Check
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does the acronym for the PAVE checklist mean? | Pilot, Aircraft, Environmental, External Pressures |
| What does the Pilot portion of the PAVE checklist cover? | A pilots personal risk factor in a flight, to which the pilot must always ask themself, “Am I ready for this flight?”. This includes currency, recency, physical and emotional condition. |
| What does the Aircraft portion of the PAVE checklist cover? | What limitations will the aircraft impose on this trip? Confirm the aircraft if flight worthy, you are familiar and current with the aircraft, and that it is equipped with the proper instruments. |
| What performance capabilities do you need to confirm in the Aircraft portion of the PAVE checklist? | Will the aircraft perform on the runway, will it carry the planned load, and does it have a sufficient fuel capacity for the trip? |
| What does the EnVironment portion of the PAVE checklist cover? | Considering environmental weather is a major consideration for pilots as well as terrain. |
| What is an example of an External Pressure when referring to the PAVE checklist? | Trying not to disappoint a passenger, desire to impress someone, desire to demonstrate pilot qualifications, etc. |
| What is the acronym for confirming a pilot is legal? | PIM |
| What does the acronym PIM stand for? | Pilot Certifiicate, Government issued Identification, and Medical Certificate |
| What is the acronym for confirming pilot safety? | IMSAFE |
| What does the acronym IMSAFE stand for? | Illness, medications, stress, alcohol, fatigue, and emotions |
| What is the acronym to make sure an aircraft is legal? | MARROW PCG |
| What does the acronym MARROW PCG stand for? | Minimum Equipment List, Airworthiness Certificate, Registration, Radio License, Owners Operating handbook, Weight/Balance, Placards, Compass Deviation Card, GPS Supplement |
| What is an AIRMET? | Inflight weather advisories with intermediate updates issued as needed for a particular area forecast region with weather concerning anything potentially hazardous to light or limited operation aircraft. |
| How often are AIRMETS updated? | Every 6 hours |
| What type of weather does AIRMETS include? | Moderate icing, moderate turbulence, surface winds of 30 knots or greater, widespread ceilings of less than 1000ft AGL, less than 3sm of visibility, and extensive mountain obscurment. |
| What is a Sierra AIRMET? | Denote IFR and mountain obscurations |
| What is a Tango AIRMET? | Denotes turbulence, strong surface winds, and low-level wind shear. |
| What is a Zulu AIRMET? | Icing and freezing levels. |
| What is a SIGMET? | Inflight advisories potentially hazardous to ALL aircraft concerning non-convective weather. |
| What type of weather does SIGMETS include? | Severe-icing, severe/extreme turbulence or clear air turbulence (CAT), dust storms/sand storms that lower visibility, and volcanic ash |
| How often are SIGMETS updated? | Every 4 hours |
| What is a Convective SIGMET? | Inflight weather advisories issued for hazardous weather that affects the safety of ALL flights. |
| What type of weather does Convective SIGMETS include? | Severe thunderstorms with surface winds greater than 50 knots, hail at the surface, or tornadoes |
| What is an Isobar? | Lines of equal pressure that reveals the pressure gradient or change in pressure over distance on a map/ |
| What do closely spaces Isobars represent? | steep pressure gradient and strong winds |
| What do Isobars spaces far apart represent? | Shallow pressure gradients and light winds |
| What is a ridge? | Elongated area of high pressure |
| What is a trough? | Elongated area of low pressure |
| Where do Continental Polar Air Masses form? | polar region and brings cool, dry air with it |
| Where do Maritime Tropical Air Masses form? | Over warm warm tropical waters, and brings warm moist air with it |
| What is a front? | a boundary layer between two types of air masses coming in contact. |
| What is a Warm Front and how does it move? | occurs when a warm mass of air advances and replaces a body of colder air. A Warm front typically moves slowly and slides over top of the cooler air, gradually pushing it out of the area. |
| What weather phenomena occurs from a warm front? | temperature drop and condensation |
| What is a cold front and how does it move? | occurs when a mass of cold, dense and stable air advances and replaces a body of warmer air. Typically moves faster than a warm front and is so dense it stays near the ground and acts as a snow plow , sliding under the less dense warm air. |
| What weather phenomena occurs from a cold front? | temp decreases suddenly forcing the creation of clouds. Violent weather activity is associated with cold fronts and usually occurs along the frontal boundary. |
| What is a stationary front? | when forces of two air masses are relatively equal, the boundary or front stays stationary and influences local weather for days. |
| What kind of weather can you expect from a stationary front? | typically a mixture of warm and cold front weather |
| What is a Occluded Front? | occurs when a fast moving cold front catches up to a slow moving warm front. As the occluded front approaches, the warm weather prevails but is immediately followed by the cold front weather |
