🗑
|
||||
| 0.04 | Maximum blood alcohol level.
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| 2,000 feet | Minimum number of feet horizontally from a cloud you must fly.

| Load Factor | Increases during any maneuver.
🗑
|
||||
| Remote PIC | This is the answer to any question about who is responsible.
🗑
|
||||
| Left | Aircraft always turn left when circling a runway, because drivers sit on the left side of the car in the US, and pilots sit on the left of the plane, too. It’s easier for them to look out the left window to see the tower.

🗑
|
||||
| CTAF vs UNICOM vs MULTICOM vs AWOS | AWOS is weather. CTAF is for pilots to talk to each other when there’s no tower. UNICOM is a base station that broadcasts to pilots when there’s no tower. MULTICOM is used as the CTAF when there’s no CTAF (122.9 or 122.95).

|
||||
| Temperature inversion | Warm air on top of cold air. Fog, haze, low clouds, poor visibility, but smooth air.
🗑
|
||||
| Turbulence | Moist, unstable air (because the air is unstable), showery precipitation.

| Unstable air | Intermittent precipitation.
🗑
|
||||
| Cool + Dry | Stable Air
🗑
|
||||
| Hot + Humid | Unstable Air

🗑
|
||||
| Compass headings | Always relative to true North in print, not magnetic North. If it’s in print, it must be true.
