• What are the currency requirements for carrying passengers? Are they different at night? How so?
• What must be in your physical possession when acting as PIC?
• What documents must be in the airplane (AROW)?
• We then went through the maintanence records which are a bit of a nightmare. It’s beyond me why this isn’t all done electronically.
• Can you fly during the day if the landing light is out?
• What equipment is required for day time VFR? Night time VFR?
• Are you required to log all flight time as a PPL?
• What are the four forces acting on the plane?
• What is an airfoil? How does it work? Name a few examples on the plane.
• What is the angle of attack?
• What does relative wind mean?
• What causes the left turning tendency? He didn’t want me to just name them, he really wanted to know why these caused the plane to turn left.
• What is load factor and why is it important?
• How does load factor relate to stall speed?
• What is a stall? How do you recover?
• What is a spin? How do you recover?
• What is ground effect? What causes ground effect?
• How do you determine the CG?
• What is the moment?
• What can you expect if the plane CG is rearward? Forward?
• How do humidity, altitude and temperature affect the plane?
• Define true, absolute, and indicate altitude.
• What kind of fuel will we be using today? What color is it? Would water sink or float when testing the fuel for containments?
• What kind of oil? How much needs to be in the plane?
• What color is hydraulic fluid?
• What would happen if the pitot static system were blocked?
• What about if you hit a bird and your pitot tube got clogged?
• What if your static system failed?
• What would you do if you retract the flaps but only one side comes up and the plane is rolling to the side that Is still down?
• Whose responsible if the plane is in an un-airworthy state?
• What are the four forces acting on the airplane?
• Climb performance: Using the climb performance to chart to determine climbing over a 2200 ft hill 3 miles off the end of the runway
• How would your climb performance be in the summer?
• What if you havn’t flown in a long time? What do you have to do?
• Some airfields have ticks around them while others are just circles, what does this mean?
• What are the requirements for SVFR at night in a class D?
• What can you do if the wx at your destination is below vfr?
