# Recheck Required - [ ] Common Purpose - [ ] Weather Information Incomplete: - [ ] Cross Country Flight Planning - [ ] National Airspace System - [ ] Performance and Limitations - [ ] Performance and Limitations - [ ] Operation of Systems - [ ] Human Factors # Pilot Qualifications - common purpose: don't "reword it". if you do not have a common purpose you do not have one, you cannot change how you talk to the other person to make it ok or legal - [ ] review [Pilot Institute: Category / Class / Type](https://pilotinstitute.com/category-class-and-type-of-aircraft/) - you do not have to carry logbook with you in the airplane # Airworthiness Requirements - [ ] review [FAA: AD types](https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/airworthiness_directives) # Weather Information - ==**you have to actually follow your personal minimums!**== you can't have one thing in there and then not actually comply with it - had minimum ceiling of 7,000 during the daytime and 5,000 at night - review IFR conditions: 1. **LIFR (Low IFR).** Ceiling less than 500 feet and/or visibility less than 1 mile 2. **IFR.** Ceiling 500 to less than 1,000 feet and/or visibility 1 to less than 3 miles 3. **MVFR (Marginal VFR).** Ceiling 1,000 to 3,000 feet and/or visibility 3 to 5 miles inclusive 4. **VFR.** Ceiling greater than 3,000 feet and visibility greater than 5 miles; includes sky clear - the reason for knowing the types of AIRMETs is mainly so that if you hear ATC state that there is a valid AIRMET for a certain area you will know what type of weather conditions are being reported, ie if they state "AIRMET sierra active for central Florida" - CWA is intended to supplement and is indication of current conditions - [ ] ==**review reading wind barbs**== - ![[Pasted image 20251121071528.png]] - stated this was 5 gusting 10 - ==**was not able to find symbols on aviation surface forecast**== - ==**stated triangles at the end of wind barb indicate that the winds are less than 5 knots**== ## METAR - **VV** stands for **Vertical Visibility** - It’s used **only when the sky is completely obscured**, meaning the observer cannot see any cloud bases because something (fog, heavy snow, smoke, dust, volcanic ash, etc.) is blocking visibility straight up - was able to look this up in decode key but did not know what it indicates > [!info] METAR KZPH 211055Z AUTO 00000KT 1 3/4SM BR VV007 11/11 A3014 RMK A02 VIS 3/4V5 T01140113 > |Code|Explanation| > |---|---| > |METAR|**Type: METAR** Meteorological Aerodrome Report| > |KZPH|**Station ID** 4 character ICAO airport identifier| > |211055Z|**Date and Time** Day: 21; Time: 10:55 UTC| > |AUTO|Fully Automated Report| > |00000KT|**Wind Direction and Speed** Wind Direction: 000 Speed: 00KT| > |1 3/4SM|**Visibility** 1.75 SM.| > |BR|Mist(BR)| > |VV007|**Cloud Layer** Vertical visibility (VV) 700ft AGL| > |11/11|Temperature: 11 °C Dewpoint: 11 °C| > |A3014|**Altimeter setting** Air pressure is 30.14 inches of mercury| > |RMK|Remarks| > |A02|Automated station with precipitation discriminator| > |VIS 3/4V5|Visibility is between 0.75 and 5| > |T01140113|**Temperature and Dewpoint** Temperature: 11.4°C Dewpoint: 11.3°C| # PIREPs - [ ] save [Approved Contractions FAA](https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/cnt_html/chap2_section_1.html) - this can help you to find more obscure contractions and will have all that are approved for use if you cannot find one easily from another product - "DURD" indicates during descent -> was able to figure it out # TAFs - had to lookup TEMPO # Winds / Wind chart - stated winds indicated a low pressure system because counter-clockwise (winds were showing clockwise flow corresponding with high pressure system on surface analysis chart) - the numbers on the wind chart indicate the temperature at the altitude that is selected # NOTAMs - [ ] review [FAA: NOTAM Types](https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ato/service_units/systemops/fs/alaskan/alaska/fai/notam/ntm_overview) # Installed onboard Weather Equipment - stated that weather displayed on MFD was a forecast - [ ] review NEXRAD limitations - [ ] [Air Facts Journal: NEXRAD](https://airfactsjournal.com/2022/03/what-nexrad-can-and-cant-tell-pilots/)
