# Recheck Required on Aerodynamics - great job on other topics, specifically systems and scenarios related to that - [ ] review causes of spins - [ ] review induced and parasite drag $\rightarrow$ specifically each type of parasite drag - [ ] review why maneuvering speed changes with weight # Notes - make sure to sign your student pilot certificate! # Required Items - [x] Student Pilot Certificate - [x] Medical Certificate # Operation of Systems ## Powerplant - great job ## Fuel - stated pre-detonation instead of detonation - review the order of the fuel system ## Ignition - review what could be the cause of an excessive RPM drop on one magneto during the runup - also review what could be the cause of one magneto having no RPM drop at all ## Engine Oil - good job talking about the system - great job with example of loss of oil pressure and increasing oil temperature ## Electrical - good job describing the system - during an alternator failure, the ammeter would show a negative value due to drain on the battery - great job talking about the ALT FIELD circuit breaker ## Brakes - great job # Aerodynamics ## Drag - explained each type but could not recall the names of each, had to look up - [ ] review [Bold Method: Parasite Drag](https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aerodynamics/parasite-drag-and-your-airplane/) ### Induced Drag - [ ] review [Bold Method: Induced Drag](https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aerodynamics/how-induced-drag-works-lift/) ## Stall/Spin Awareness - review why you don't want to add ailerons in when recovering from a stall or spin - the main reason for reducing power during spin recovery is to reduce angle of attack - reducing airflow over the elevator causes a reduction in tail downforce - spins are caused by a difference in angle of attack between wings when going through a stall - one wing has to be stalled more than the other wing, this can be caused by many other factors than just being uncoordinated # Standard Operating Procedures - good job # Aircraft V-Speeds - $V_{NO}$ : 129 $\rightarrow$ stated 125 - $V_A$ : remember that this increases with weight - allows you to fully deflect a single flight control without causing structural damage to the aircraft - allows for the airplane to stall before causing structural damage # Obtaining Weather ## METAR - great job knowing the symbols for the normal METAR, but make sure that you have a decode key to determine what different symbols mean ## TAF - great job - remember that TAFs typically forecast for 24 or 30 hours into the future # Regulations Applicable to Student Pilots ## Student Pilot Limitations - good job ## Logbook and Certificate Endorsements - stated only one endorsement required - required endorsements: - Pre-solo aeronautical knowledge: § 61.87(b). - Pre-solo flight training: § 61.87(c)(1) and (2). # Airworthiness ## Certificates and Documents ### Pilot - great job ### Airplane - registration is only valid for 7 years - otherwise good job ## Required Inspections - Annual: good note about IA required for annual - annual *can* replace a 100 hour inspection - VOR: this is only required for IFR flight, for flying VFR this is not required - 100 hour: good job - altimeter: good job - transponder: good job - ELT: good job - ADs: good job ## Inoperative Equipment - good job # School Practice Areas - great job # Airspace (around airport and near practice areas) - great job # Performance and Limitations ## Weight and Balance (Calculate for takeoff and landing) - great job ## Takeoff and Landing Performance Calculations - great job ## Calculating a Crosswind Component - great job # Wind Shear Awareness - think about a headwind to a tailwind, this would cause a dramatic reduction in airspeed and could cause a stall # Wake Turbulence Avoidance - great job - remember that a light quartering tailwind is worst for wind
