# Recheck Required - [ ] All systems - [ ] Commercial Pilot Privileges and Limitations - [ ] Cross Country Flight Planning - [ ] Weather Information - [ ] Principles of Flight # Pilot Qualifications ## Certification Requirements, Recent Flight Experience, and Record-keeping ## Privileges and Limitations - used example of a raffle to the general public for flight down to the keys - Stated that could not pick up passengers in the keys but could take passengers from orlando initially - You eventually clarified that a random person could not fly - keep in mind you want to think about the general public - 121 versus 135 carriers - stated 121 is anything more than 20 passengers and 12,500 pounds - asked if Shaq wanted to charter a 737 for the day would that fall under part 121 - stated that it would be considered 121 - good job talking about changes in medical certificates for 121 vs 145 operations - [ ] review [[FAA Safe Air Charter Scenarios.pdf]] - [ ] review the following video: <div class="iframe-container"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cXpMtlPrTRE?si=r9C0XrjSpiSnzhKI" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> ## Medical Certificates - good job ## Documents Required to Exercise Commercial Pilot Privileges - good job ## Part 68 BasicMed Privileges and Limitations - good job # Airworthiness ## Required Inspections - unable to find pitot static inspection in the maintenance logbook - stated can replace the annual with a 100 hour inspection ## Airworthiness Directives - good job ## Required Endorsements - good job - used example of Cessna P210R ## Special Airworthiness Information Bulletins - had to lookup name for this ## Special Flight Permit - good job ## Preventative Maintenance - good job looking this up - great job talking about who can perform it and the entries required ## Equipment Requirements ### Flying with Inoperative Equipment - the beacon light is part of the anti-collision lighting system, meaning that it is required per 91.205 - see [[Cessna 172 Beacon Light Part of Anti-Collision Light System.pdf]] ### Flying with ELT Removed for Inspection - great job - would need to say "ELT not installed" $\rightarrow$ see [FAR 91.207](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/part-91/section-91.207#p-91.207(f)(10)(i)) ### Using an Approved MEL - good job talking about MEL usage and the purpose of them - good understanding of MMEL - be specific of applying at FSDO ### Major Alternations - used example of install "cessna cam" onto your own airplane - stated that supplemental type certificate would be required $\rightarrow$ good note - don't forget about form 337 requirements for major alterations ### KOEL - good job # Cross Country Flight Planning ## Planned Nav Log - stated that VFR cruising altitudes are based on true north and not magnetic north - stated that glide distance is 3 miles per 1,000 feet - had to look up what the glide ratio of the airplane is - after looking up stated that it was a 2:1 ratio - stated only would leave with max fuel, estimated 27 gallons - asked if someone wanted to bring more bags, and said he would be willing to make a fuel stop # Airspace - did not identify part 93 area - got shipwreck symbol right - don't be afraid to look this up to make sure! - otherwise good job ## Special VFR - you do not need an instrument rating to use SVFR during the daytime # International Flying - stated he could fly internationally after just getting commercial certificate - unable to recall what requirements were for the airplane to fly internationally - stated ADIZ is "air defense international zone" - once I probed, he was able to talk about radio operator permit and whats required for the airplane # Systems ## Pressurization Systems - make sure to specifically talk about getting an unrestricted descend during an explosive decompression - time of useful consciousness - good job - explosive and rapid decompression ### Supplemental Oxygen Requirements - had to look up regulation, but did a good job explaining - continuous flow - good job - diluter demand - this can be used up to 40,000 feet, stated can be used up to 25,000 initially - pressure demand - good job - cannula - good job - good job talking about supplemental oxygen requirements from the AIM - aviators breathing oxygen - talked about the importance of no moisture content - stated that we could use oxygen from a dive tank if it was available - care and storage of high pressure oxygen bottles - good job ### Hypoxia - good job $\rightarrow$ was able to talk about each type ## Turbochargers - stated that allow us to get more horsepower at a higher altitude - stated that it pulls the air in and pulls it through the turbine and could not recall from memory where the air goes - looked it up in the PHAK ## Superchargers - looked up difference, but correct ## Flight Controls - good job ## Powerplant - unable to recall the intake or exhaust valve - was able to recall that the camshaft controlled the entrance and exit of mixture / exhaust but could not recall how exactly ## Ignition System - [ ] review [[Ignition System]] - impulse coupling - stated that the impulse coupler is turned on via the master switch - stated that it only ignites once - stated that the magnetos used an electromagnet instead of a permanent magnet - asked question about if there was no drop on one magneto what could be the problem and stated it would be caused by carbon deposits - detonation - stated could be caused by mixture not being rich enough - I asked about using incorrect fuel grads and then stated that it could cause detonation - pre-ignition - stated that it was the cylinder firing out of place - stated could be caused by faulty spark plugs ## Electrical System - alternator - stated that the magnet and copper wire generate direct current which is then sent to the battery - asked about differences between alternating and direct current - stated that direct current is constant and alternating is provided only when needed - asked about identifying alternator failures - good job - asked about when the standby battery would engage during alternator failure - stated it would turn on when the main battery dies - he was able to look this up - asked about when the high volts annunciator comes on - good job ## Oil System - asked which kind of oil system we have - stated that wet means we have oil in the system and dry means it is out of the system - had to look up where the oil was in the 172 engine $\rightarrow$ unable to find answer - asked about the purposes of the oil system - asked about what happens if the oil filter becomes clogged - stated that oil could not get through the system if it became clogged - asked about what the numbers on oil mean (ie. 15W50) - stated that it was the time length that the oil has until you should change it ## G1000 ### Magnetometer - good job ### Airspeed Indicator (standby) - good job ## Heater - good job # Human Factors ## Motion Sickness - good job ## Decompression Sickness - good job ## IM SAFE checklist - good job ## Hazardous Attitudes - good job ## Hyperventilation - great job explaining the causes and solutions # Weather Information ## AIRMETs - good job with valid times - stated that airmet zulu would be for severe or greater icing ## SIGMETs / Convective SIGMETs - good job ## Surface Analysis Chart - stated that if the isobars are close together it could indicate a thunderstorm - stated that a front was frontogenesis when it was frontolysis - stated that whether or not a cold front creates thunderstorms depends on the temperature of the air mass in front of it - stated that high pressure system rotates counter clockwise ## METAR / TAF - was able to read METAR, asked about what PWINO means - was able to look it up - if there is not another FM group indicated, it indicates that the weather is not forecast to change, not that it is going to be good ## Aviation Surface Forecast - good job ## Thunderstorms - stated that the first stage was the upward development phase - microbursts - good job ## Turbulence - good job # Performance and Limitations ## CG Location - was able to explain why an aft CG results in better cruise performance ## Changes in Weight - stated that an increase in weight would decrease stall speed, corrected it ## Service Ceiling - got the number correct - remember that this indicates the max for climbing at 100 ft/min
