# Pilot Qualifications ## Certification Requirements, recent flight experience, and recordkeeping - good job ## Privileges and Limitations - advertising to the public -> holding out -> common carriage - if someone is selling tickets for a flight to the public and then hires you to fly the airplane that doesn't make it a legal operation just because you are not the one who is holding out ## Medical Certificates - good job ## Documents Required to exercise commercial pilot privileges - ==**you do not need to carry endorsements with you when flying an airplane that requires an endorsement**== ## BasicMed - good job ## Proficiency vs Currency - good job # Airworthiness Requirements - review major alterations (form 337 / STC) (used example of cessna cam) ## Required certificates - good job ## Required inspections - good job ## ADs / SAIBs - good job ## Special Flight Permit - good job ## Preventative Maintenance - good job ## Equipment for day / night VFR flight - good job ### Inoperative Equipment - good job ### Using MEL - good job ### KOEL - good job ### Discrepancy cards / placards - good job # Weather Information - ==***stability is related to the temperature lapse rate***==, not the actual temperature -> you can easily have atmospheric instability when the temperature is below standard, it doesn't matter what the temperature is only the relative change in temperature as you go up in altitude - ==***a temperature inversion is stable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!***== # Cross Country Flight Planning - good job # National Airspace System - ==***utilize the aeronautical chart users guide!***== ![[Pasted image 20250627144007.png]] - remember that the TAC and VFR chart have slight differences - make sure you are looking at the correct legend # Performance and Limitations - CG and performance - this is something that you need to be able to explain - [ ] review [Bold Method: CG and Performance](https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/performance/how-does-cg-affect-aircraft-performance/) - mixture is the ratio (in weight) of fuel to air - if the temperature is higher there is fewer air molecules in the cylinder and therefore the mixture would be more rich for a given setting if the temperature is higher # Operation of Systems - review servo vs anti-servo tabs - make sure you understand the differences in noticing a rapid vs explosive decompression - one magneto is wired to the top spark plugs on one side and the bottom on the other side because the bottom spark plugs are more likely to experience spark plug fouling - the spark plug typically fires before the piston reaches top dead center to increase performance - the impulse coupling delays this spark ignition slightly so that the spark plugs fire at top dead center # Human Factors - good job
