# Aerodynamics - good job with induced and parasite drag - good job with stalls - good job with causes of spins - stated that spin recovery would be used to reduce the effect of P factor - remember that this is something that is not incorrect, but it would not help recover from spins simply because this effect would only work in one direction - you always want to bring this back to how reducing power will cause the nose to lower due to the stability characteristics of the airplane - less airflow over horizontal stabilizer $\rightarrow$ less tail downforce exerted by horizontal stabilizer $\rightarrow$ nose has tendency to lower # Student Pilot Limitations / Required Endorsements - overall good job with limitations and maintaining visual reference to the surface - remember that you need an endorsement stating that you are authorized to fly in class B airspace - [FAR 61.95(a): A student pilot may not operate an aircraft on a solo flight in Class B airspace unless:](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/part-61/section-61.95#p-61.95(a)) # Required Inspections - review when the ELT battery needs to be replaced - [Batteries used in the emergency locator transmitters required by paragraph a and b](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/part-91/section-91.207#p-91.207(c)) # Maneuvering Speed - good job # Wake Turbulence - asked about whether or not wake would tend to be greater during takeoff or landing and he stated takeoff but could not explain why that was the case - was able to look it up and figure out it was because heavier planes tend to have higher angle of attack - the worst (generally speaking) weather conditions for wake turbulence avoidance is a light quartering tailwind # Wind Shear - good job with recovery procedures - remember that a headwind turning into a tailwind (or loss of a headwind / increasing tailwind) is particularly dangerous because of the loss of airspeed # Systems in Relation to Engine Failure - good job with preignition and detonation # Airspace - able to explain the airspace in and around the airport as well as the practice areas - remember entry into delta you are required to hear your callsign from the tower # Recheck Items from Austin - [x] Systems related to engine failure - [x] unable to explain potential reasons for engine failures without questioning/probing - [x] Engine- unable to explain preignition/detonation - [x] Fuel- said low fuel flow, but wasn’t able to explain what could potentially fail and how to fix it - [x] Couldn’t explain other reasons for failures - [x] Ignition- unable to explain why we check magnetos individually in a engine failure - [x] Aerodynamics- Drag, stalls, spin awareness- confused induced and parasite drags relationship to speed, unable to explain sub categories of parasite drag. Said we could stall at only certain airspeeds, unable to explain why power is reduced in spin recovery, said to prevent flat spin - [x] Required Endorsements- couldn’t recall presolo ground/flight training endorsements - [x] Required Inspections- said only annual is required. - [x] Maneuvering Speed- unable to explain what operating under maneuvering speed protects you from, said it would prevent us from stalling. Couldn’t explain why maneuvering speed changes with weight. ## Incomplete - [x] Airspace - [x] Wake turbulence - [x] Wind shear - [x] Weight and balance - [x] Performance and limitations
